Nextfest Demo Patch

I hope you're enjoying the game! Here's a quick patch build for some of the items you've reported--keep them coming!

Fixes:

Gameplay

• Tendril Snare targeting should now be more reliable. To help, I've added a "quick cast" on/off toggle in Settings so you can make it cast on keypress, or on keypress + target click.

• Named captains now warp out when allowed to retreat.

• Victory salvage boosted for multi-wave battles based on ships destroyed, rather than a flat amount by node difficulty.

• If you rage-quit with Alt-F4 after a loss, but before returning to the galaxy map, your "Map" button no longer stays locked out. The fix is retroactive, so any saves with the issue should load fine.

• Targeting a garrison enemy while a named enemy captain is present in the battle will correctly update the ship name in the hostile target info panel. Thanks, Dr. Wolf!

UI

• Invisible Display group labels in the settings menu

Known issues:

Codex/Help Menu

• In the tutorial, some of the hints crop important parts of the associated marked up screenshot. The entries in the actual Codex don't have that problem, so while I work on a fix, you can find the same entry there and see the full notes.

• Related: Some screenshots have their text bubbles overlapped. The text bubbles are actually overlays on top of a clean screenshot--the same cropping/resizing issue has some of them stacked. Luckily, in the actual Codex, you can see the related text by referencing the hint number!

• In a couple of Codex entries, the text isn't trimming properly, causing the Archive menu to be squished.

Gameplay

• The Tendril Snare ability VFX sometimes swoops in from somewhere that isn't your ship when used.
