It's been one week since the launch of StarScraper, and we haven't been resting on our laurels. We already released a path earlier in the week with a few fixes, but here's a much more important and bigger update.
Major Features
- Tutorial - We've added a full gameplay tutorial!
- Light Switches- Rooms light up and go dark based on activity and time.
Bugs and Tweaks
- UI Improvements - We cleaned up the UI to make it easier to use and more stylish.
- Tooltip Improvements - We cleaned up the tool tips tot be easier to understand.
- Visualization Colors - Data visualization colors are now consistent. Blue is good, red is bad.
- (Bug) Steam Achievements - They didn't work. (fixed)
- (Bug) Things turn invisible - People and rooms occasionally turned invisible. (fixed)
- (Bug) Elevators stuck between floors - On speed 4x, elevators got stuck. (fixed)
That takes care of a lot of boring, but important changes! Now the game will be better for everyone, clearing the way for us to add more game-play significant features for our 1.1 patch, alongside Mac support!
We have a lot more to do, but stay tuned. And as always, if you have a suggestion we're happy to listen and make this game as good as it can be.
Until next time!
