EDIT: Mac version released
Hey Everyone,
Been working hard over the last few days and we are pleased to say that PeriAreion 2.1.0 is now live for PC. The Mac version is in the works and should be out tomorrow. This is a feature patch (as opposed to just bugs) to address some of the feeback we have gotten. So notes...
New Rover Mode
The old rover mode is still in there but now you can change views above the rover allowing for easier terrain navigation. We also added a new HUD Bar for the rover so you can now view all your rations/resources as well as quickly access the unload and exit rover buttons.
Navigation Beacons
You can now place navigation beacons by right clicking in the map screen. These beacons are placed in the game world as flashing light poles allowing for you to plan a route in-map then simply follow your markers in-game. You can currently have a max of 15 markers but markers can be destroyed and replaced at any time with a quick click on the map screen.
Loading Screen
The loading screen was a major cause of hardship during launch as it was directly responsible for a game crashing bug. We disabled the load screen replacing with a static piece of placeholder art as a temporary fix. The load screen has now been redesigned with a spinning logo. Additionally, there was a set of old hints upon loading a level that have been replaced.
Bug Fixes

What's Next?
We have a list of bugs to keep working on, some harder to get at than others. Replacing or optimizing the cutscenes as they may still be causing memory spikes and crashes is up there. We are looking at a few more features as well and will keep you updated on those.
