Update 1.22.2
We figured it was time to fix a couple of outstanding things in Inevitability and bring the game engine and framework up to date so here is an update :) Even though this game is 6 years old at this point we still would love to hear any bugs you find and fix them! We don't plan on

Even though this game is 6 years old at this point we still would love to hear any bugs you find and fix them! We don't plan on adding more features to Inevitability beyond bug fixes however given enough demand that could always change (or If I just get that itch) ;) Let us know if you run into any issues!
We have been working on other games in the Inevitability universe and if you haven't checked out Operation Zeta yet you should!
As always thanks for the continued support!

Hey guys sorry for the delay in the update we have been working hard on our new game Rekindling as well as working on a secret project for the Inevitability universe.. Anyways 1.21 is a pretty large content update!
New Race
There is a new race! The Roki. They are a small crafty rat like species. They are found often as cheaper mechanics on large ships or mercenaries flying around the universe.
Two new factions
With the addition of the Roki we have added two new factions exclusive to the Roki. Mercenary and the Rokun. Each comes with their own quest line, special abilities, as well new Steam achievements!
Other Features and improvements
We have added other user requested features such as *finally* being able to shoot Mika worms. As well we have made a number of graphical improvements from redoing from scratch how the star background looked to making it so the character portraits are only what you will see in the headshot
Other fun Inevitability related news & final thoughts
We have a Discord for Inevitability now! Its a good place to give feedback quickly to me as well as talk about cool ship designs and strategy!
I mentioned earlier that there are fun things in store for the universe of Inevitability in the near future. If you haven't been following us, I am now doing game development as a full time job and have a lot of fun things in the pipeline. If you want to see more from us in general feel free to support us on Patreon and see your name in the game and get early access to those new Inevitability things.
As always please leave us feedback here, on discord or as a Review on Steam. We want to keep making things better and you guys are the best way to do that! Full(ish) patch notes below.

Hey guys It has been awhile. We have a cool update that just went out that added a long requested feature of being able to research new parts.
You can see all the parts you have researched already and research new ones from the new research menu by spending "research points". You can get research points from the new part type of labs that can go on stations to generate passive science points. Even without labs you will slowly get points over time.
OH BOY SCIENCE
We have changed a lot on the backend of Inevitability, most of it is unnoticeable as we have improved our game engine for our second game that is just now entering early access on Steam. (you should check it out its pretty cool)
1.20

Added research menu!
Added new part type: Labs.
Changed background image as it was very small and you could see the tiling.
Fixed bunch of font issues with sizing and placement.
Fixed you being able to make broken saves from the tutorial.
Fixed Tech parts not saying what they do.
Fixed Bug with parts rotating. This mainly effected the blue laser.
Upgraded to the latest Version of Freaking Sweet (our game engine).

Significant performance improvements on planets as well as a revamp of how mining works. Also there are smaller improvements in performance on most other areas of the game. Major changes are summarized below.
Mining

Added health and heat to probes.
Probes will heat up with contiuned use and need to vent to cool down (seen below with an updated HUD)
Probes now lose fewer minerals on contact with Worms, but now take damage. They will lose a significant amount of minerals if their health drops to 0. You can heal your probe at the base on each planet
Building/Flying

Fuel tanks have been removed and engines now only use power
Improvements to the build menu display UI.
Improved performance of lasers and ship collisions.
Lastly a moment of silence for all of the bugs that have been squashed in the making of this update...
