Greetings Everyone!
We wanted to take the time to express our heartfelt gratitude to all of you who helped support our little indie studio by buying PeriAreion.
Unbelievably, it's been a full year since we released on Steam, and a lot has changed since then! To celebrate, we have several exciting updates planned for the next couple of months, so stay tuned. Thank you all for your patience!
Also...New Patch!! Here are the changes:
1) Rover Mode: Rover mode has been completely reworked. The Rover is only drivable in third person but now dynamically drives over the terrain. This is something we always wanted to do but due to the complexity of the physics involved we were limited to our psuedo-rover mode. The main reason for this change is to reduce the complexity of the rover programming and simplify the movement systems. Additionally, the portraits of colonists inside the rover now show up in the upper right-hand corner when rover is selected, and colonists can be unloaded individually by clicking the new "unload" buttons under the portraits.
2) POI Mouseovers added: the new tooltip mouseovers for the POIs have been added to the game.
3) POI Bug fixes: A medley of random issues with POIs on different maps have been fixes. There might still be some issues we are working on but these should by no means be recurring bugs.
4) Display Glitches: Fixed an issue with some of the GUI displaying when it was not supposed to. Still have some bits to fix on the mission failed screen.
We're excited to be working towards some new content (and polishing old content) in the next few months. We're currently doing some contract work to enable us to work full-time at the studio, and this gives us a little extra time to work on improving PeriAreion even more. It's been a crazy year, and we've not had nearly as much time to devote to PeriAreion as we would have liked (due mainly to working several part-time jobs)-- but the support of all of you who bought, played, or gave feedback on our game has kept us going!
All the best,
PeriAreion Development Team
