Greetings Starpilots!
Flatspace has had an upgrade and overhaul to match the capabilities of Flatspace IIk, and other new games like Gunstorm.
This is primarily an engine update, so there are no gameplay changes, but a lot has changed in the background, such as:
-New fonts, new lens flares, new starfield, and much better screen aspect support and improved graphics set-up.
-New separation of expert user options in Options.txt and game settings. Graveyard and settings are now stored in the Steam Cloud.
-Controls now support a full keyboard and (for future games!) 4 or more game controllers.
You'll notice a few things:
1. New fonts. The heading is less blurry and smaller on 16:9 screens, and the main font is better spaced.
2. New settings for expert users in Options.txt. There are two new options there: robustinit and fixaspect, plus fixes and upgrades to basic settings like screen resolution and timers.
3. Persistent settings and the graveyard are now backed up the Steam Cloud.
4. Better aspect-ratio support. The old 4:3 game is now transformed and looks largely the same at the 16:9 game. For other screens, the aspect can be fixed to stretch it if needed so that Flatspace should be playable on any shape or size of screen.
5. New starfield, new mouse pointer, new lens flares.
