The demo has been brought up to the level of 0.3.13.3. The biggest change being the 16:9 Graphics
This change has been a long long time coming, 16:9 graphics fully supported. The exact origins of the odd size is lost to a discord call over six months ago, and I wish I could provide it. The design stuck and possibly due to tunnel vision of it being that way from the beginning we kept it. Releasing the game onto Steam opened our eyes to a lot of new ideas, and this was one that community poked us a bit, but were never mean about it. With the last major update it came to the attention that there was just a ton of screen real-estate that we were not utilizing and moving to the standard would both help captains and the developers from future issues. Wow, there are a lot of screenshots that need to be replaced now that this is complete. Additionally, we want to support Ultra wide screens too, and with what we have learned I think it is very achievable.
Localization is a big under taking, however we have had a ton of support from communities that do not speak English, and we want to show our thanks. There is a lot of work to still make the game localized to a fair level. Therefore, while we are talking about it here we will only update the Steam information once we have a high degree of completion.
We hope this shows our energy in moving this game forward and towards a v1.0 release
(To access these new options utilize the Advance Options in the New Game setup.)
Thank you for all of the feedback, testing, and bug reports.
