Hi again everyone! Some players recently noted that Rodina's UI was not working well with smaller resolutions, or with 6:10 aspect ratios. I added a little UI scaling (on the DEV branch only!) to help with this and would welcome feedback from those affected. This system is still
Hey All! I just updated the dev branch with a new version which fixes a common crash! I also updated the Blender exporter script to fix a crash, in case that is useful to you. The dev branch is still super broken, don't get me wrong! Continue to play at your own risk :) Thanks!

I made a video to preview RODINA 1.6 - the Inventory / Player Systems update! One bit of news: I've decided to release 1.6 much sooner (ASAP) and do a series of small content updates with new weapons / items right after! I'll be trying to get updates out on a much more regular sc
Big news about the future of RODINA - I'm starting a Patreon to support the game's development! Check me out on Patreon! As many of you know, I am no longer able to work on RODINA full-time. I've been disappointed by the progress made in the last couple of years (for which I apol

I'm so excited to share with you version 1.4.2 of Rodina - the Planet Terrain Revamp! This is a major update to the visuals of the Zorica System. All of the planets in the game now have their own terrain types and textures. This really takes the full-size planets in the game to t
Hey folks - good news! The bane of my existence for the past few months - the Black Square bug that was obscuring the entrances to ships and bases (and turning the holoscreens black as well) has been fixed - hopefully once and for all! VERY sorry to all customers affected by this
Rodina 1.4.1 is released! This is a minor update with only one change - new Xeno art, by yours truly! Some of you may know that I'm now doing all of the art for the game, which I'm really enjoying. Art isn't my expertise, but by doing it myself it's a lot easier to get something
