Dear players,
We are pleased to present the v0.0.7a update for QANGA.
This version brings several major improvements, new features, and bug fixes.
🆕 New Features 🆕
🚀 FreeWarp on Spaceships
- FreeWarp Usage: You can now use FreeWarp to navigate more quickly and precisely over short distances around a planet. However, FreeWarp cannot be used in atmospheres and will recharge over time after usage. In the future, we will further integrate this feature into the gameplay.
🛠 Classic "Warp" Becomes "SpaceJump"
- Warp Replacement: We have replaced the traditional Warp with "SpaceJump." This change will add a new layer of depth to navigation mechanics.
🎁 New Item Distribution System in the World
- Item Placement on Surfaces: You'll notice that item distribution in various locations has changed. We have developed a more logical distribution system compared to previous versions, ensuring that the placement of items in their environment is more coherent and less repetitive.
☁️ Volumetric Clouds
- Improved Clouds: We have implemented a new, more optimized and realistic cloud system. While we plan to work on dynamic weather systems on planetary surfaces in the future, these new clouds will be your companions for several updates until the dynamic weather system is ready.
🏔 Everest Region
- Realistic Everest Heights: We have added the Everest region in a more realistic manner. You can now climb Everest at accurate altitudes. This fix also impacts all terrain heights on Earth, making them more realistic in-game.
🪨 Saturn's Asteroid Rings
- Physicalized Asteroids: We have made every asteroid in Saturn's rings physical, allowing you to land on them and build your station. Note that the gravity on these asteroids is too weak to naturally pull you toward their surface. We will improve asteroid distribution and gravity interaction in future updates.
🛠 Bug Fixes and Improvements 🛠
🌍 Terrain Rendering
- Ice Biome: We have reworked the icy zones on Earth to enhance their appearance and realism.
- Fixes: Some rocks that were floating in the air and had visible mesh seams have been resolved.
🪐 Added a SpaceJump for Mercury
- Mercury SpaceJump: You now have the option to jump to Mercury. Please note that the surface still requires significant reworking.
🛡️ Other Fixes
- Fixed numerous issues reported in the Discord report channel: Thanks to all of you for your feedback and help in improving the game.
We hope you enjoy these new features and fixes! Thank you for your continued support and valuable feedback. Don't forget to report any bugs or issues on our Discord.
See you soon in the universe of QANGA!
