Alpha 11 Released

Alpha 11 has been released! There was a lot of back-end code overhaul that unfortunately isn't very sexy to show off, but there have been some important front-facing updates as well.

Short Changelog

• New "System Map" screen replacing the "Leave Planet" screen that can be visited any time

• Three difficulty settings

• New Xenocyte enemy, the "Popper"

• Mining nodes at mission sites

• Initial work on a secret alternate ending path

• Lots of QoL changes and UI improvements

Roadmap

I'm hoping to get updates out more frequently moving forward instead of smashing as many features into a few large updates. Things I'm tentatively planning on working on next:

• Better ease-in for new players (semi-hidden tutorial)

• Include Surface Battery missions as an alternative to normal hostile vessel attacks

• Improve the Fabricator and Workshop UI

• Embed drone control hints into the UI

• Finishing the alternate ending

• Add cosmetics (no microtransactions, your drones just deserve to wear a fancy hat sometimes)

• Chase ("Wheffle")
