Details:
This update introduces story moments and lucrative business opportunities that focus on you rather than your crew. These can be discovered while exploring planet surfaces or through specific phone calls from your small business.
The time clock has been overhauled to provide hints (once repaired) about their locations, but they can still be missed or end dramatically if you arrive unprepared. *Content appears early, around the time you reach the station.

Random Events Explained:
I realized during testing that galaxy map side-story events can indeed be missed, either because they don’t appear often enough or they are easy to overlook. For now, I am keeping the system as it is. With time and a sharp eye, players can eventually find all the events. This approach reduces repetitive story moments. The goal was to give each player a unique experience in some way.
At first, the chance of encountering these events is high, but the probability decreases as more are experienced.
Fixes:
- Time clock getting stuck at year 1, day 1 under certain circumstances.
- Time clock not displaying pointer at last week of year
- Removed 'the end' terminology from first set of credits in preparation for 1.0 update
As I continue to update and improve the game, hopefully I've earned your wishlist, then go check out the previous update which enhanced the tutorial and announced my publisher:

Demo Troubleshooting:
For those playing the full game from the demo. Navigate to the save location of the demo. It would be: c:/users/[your user name]/AppData/Local/Crypterion_Demo (also shown in the image)
Copy the save game file there, and place it inside the Crypterion folder. Basically, the same "local" location. If you don't see that folder, starting a game in the full version and traveling to your first planet should create it with it's own saved game.
