Major Update v0.4.0: Milestones, Vacuum 2.0, and Smarter Swarms
Scavengers, it's time to track your legacy. Version 0.4.0 is one of our biggest technical updates yet, introducing long-term progression tracking and significant improvements to the game's core physical and biological systems.
🏆 Milestone & Achievement System
Your progress is now being tracked across all missions. We've implemented a robust statistics engine that monitors your performance in the void:
Global Stats: Track your total scrap collected, hostiles neutralized, drones claimed, and even your "vacuum kills."
Achievements: Reach specific milestones to unlock achievements. Whether you're a master scavenger or a ruthless hunter, your progress is now permanent.
Persistence: All statistics are now saved and loaded with your profile.
🌬️ Vacuum & Physics Overhaul
We’ve gone back to the drawing board with the ship's decompression logic.
Vacuum 2.0: Depressurization is now more stable and predictable. The physical force exerted by the void has been refined for a more realistic (and dangerous) experience.
Internal Door Stress: The logic for how vacuum affects connected rooms has been polished to ensure seamless transitions between atmospheric and airless environments.
🐝 Smart Swarm Behavior
The biological infestation is evolving. The Insect Swarm is now much more reactive:
Light & Motion Sensitivity: Swarms will now react dynamically to your drone's flashlight and movement.
Tactical Disengage: Enemies now have a "disengage delay," meaning they won't immediately forget you once you break line of sight. They will search for you.
🔧 Technical Changes
Version Tracking: Current game version (v0.4.0) is now clearly displayed in the bottom-right corner of the main menu.
Bugfixes: Multiple fixes for drone pathfinding and UI consistency.
