Update:
It's been a while since the last update but rest assured hard work has been going on behind the scenes.
Coffee fueled hard work!
Learning To Walk
Developer note: Elon is intended to border on difficult but not be overly hard. Space Survival should require a bit of thinking, learning, discovering and possible yes even dying. Which is why most people SKIP the tutorial all together. That said for those that might be interested, The Tutorial has been reworked totally.
Now it is a separate level with tasks oriented to anyone that feels they need a leg up on what to do.
It covers:
- Player Movement and Stats
- Building Stations and Station Uses
- Mining and Refining Ore
- Crafting and Hub Building
- And how to launch Probes and warp through space
Hub Have Been Hitting The Gym
They have clearly been working out and have a sleek new look.
The corners have all been rounded out, as well as. Tops and Bottoms have been added to provide a more rounded shape. With likely VERY VERY rare exception nothing in space is square, it just didn't feel right the hubs were so square.
Developer Note: A more Square shape helps with the building system correctly aligning newly built items. The closer to that shape the hubs are the more space that is left for the player to utilize so making them totally round doesn't really benefit the player, or make logical sense for someone attempting to survive in space.
Building Changes
When building a Hub near another but, occasionally, doors are blocked and cant be build on.
Previously, this would resort in the Door Blockade blocking the door, preventing its use.
Now, any door that cannot be used as a door will just instead become a window.
[i]Developer Notes: This is a change that has been wanted for a while. If you are building a hub with all doors in a place only one or no doors are usable, the room would look very prison like.
This also allows for more viewing into the Space outside the ship. It was hard work to make, SO LOOK AT IT EVERY CHANCE YOU GET!
Mining Animation
For the Longest time the animations surrounding mining an asteroid have needed to be reworked.
They are being fine tuned still but you can see the new Fracturing in both the game and the tutorial.
Developer Note: Yeah, no note..... It's getting there. Just check it out.
This concludes the update. Thanks for all your support.
Oh One More Thing
The first of the Mini Games "RobotElonAttack" is done and will soon be available in the main menu to test and play.
