Dear Earthlings!
It’s been almost a month again, so it’s time for a new dev diary! This one’s going to be a short one. I do have some stuff to show you, but it’s mostly information I want to share.
Room Score
Okay, so now each room will have a room score, the better your room, the higher its score. The higher the room score, the happier your crew will be!
The better your ship overall, the more value you’ll get when selling your spaceship.
Here are some screenshots! Let me know what you think.
Doctors and the Ill and Wounded
Okay, so there’s a new system for how injured crew members are treated. During the RPG update, they’ll be patched up by the doctor and stay in the infirmary until they’re fully healed.
Here’s a screenshot of an infirmary room!
Schedules
Something I’m really proud to announce is a new way to control your crew members! You will be able set each crew member’s schedule for the day, just try to keep them happy.
I got the inspiration from Prison Architect and RimWorld, both really fun games!
I’ll also be expanding on this by adding a Law Menu, where you can decide how a criminal within your crew will be punished.
Power Grid
As mentioned before, with this upcoming update you’ll need to connect power suppliers to power consumers. This gives you more control over how power works on your ship.
This time, I’ve got a video to show you!
RPG Update
Lastly, and basically the main reason for this dev diary, is that I’m going to split the RPG update into two parts.
The first update will focus on shipbuilding and crew control, while the next RPG update will cover the story, missions, and other features. This approach will let me release new content a bit faster. It’s already been quite a while since the last update, and you all deserve a more fun and improved build!
That being said, I’ll be free from my main job for the next two months, so I can put some solid hours into development. The plan is to release the first part of the RPG update to the beta branch for bug fixing and testing sometime between mid to late November. I’ll give you an exact date once I have one.
It might end up being a bit later if anything unexpected happens during development, but I don’t think that’ll be the case.
Have a good one!
