addedThe bad news is, the new rendering pipeline is incompatible with a lot of the visual effects in the game; they have either disappeared or they look lousy, so I'm going to have to do some work to rebuild them. For example, I lost the green glow of the exotic asteroids.
addedThe good news is, the game looks absolutely stunning in the new rendering pipeline, and the effects that still work, really pop! So you're going to be in for a treat when I finally do finish the port to the new pipeline! I can't wait to share it with you!
addedIn the meantime, I've got a bunch of new gameplay updates incoming shortly. The roadmap currently looks like this:
changedv0.4.3 update - gameplay upgrades and quality of life improvements
addedv0.5? - new rendering pipeline

In the meantime, I've got a bunch of new gameplay updates incoming shortly. The roadmap currently looks like this:

  1. v0.4.3 update - gameplay upgrades and quality of life improvements

  2. v0.5? - new rendering pipeline

  3. v0.6? - improved controller support

As always, thank you for your patience and support. If you have any suggestions for how you'd like to see the game evolve, please let me know!
