I realize you're all probably playing Stardew Valley - it's taken an ENORMOUS amount of effort of my part to not just play it non-stop every day since it's release - but if you could just... over here... it'll only take a couple minutes... I won't be long...
Mysterious Space 0.9.0 has finally been released! :P
thanks for waiting an extra month; I hope you'll find the changes were worth the wait :)
the full changelog can be found here: https://mysteriousspace.com/changelog/0-9-x/ but here are the highlights:
* a ton of bug fixes, including fixing buttons which were being placed in inaccessible places, and a potential fix for a crash some players were having when quitting the game
* the sector map is completely different now... it'll be better if you just try it and see :)
* killing enemies is worth less points than before, but there are now point pickups placed in various places around each planet, particuarly at the ends of many tunnels, and near spiky walls.
* a new ship!
* tweaks to existing ships, including a fairly significant rehaul of the Heavy Head of Hydrus (I hope it's a better ship now!)
* some tutorial changes
I've spent the last couple days primarily playtesting it (instead of playing Stardew Valley! urgh! :P), so I hope this will be a relatively bug-free release, but I'll of course be keeping a careful eye on the forums and crash reports these first few days, and fix up any particularly-nasty bugs as quickly as possible.
FINALLY: an update on donations! I'm still catching up with the Mysterious Space sales made at the end of last year! I've donated to three more non-profits, am ready to donate to a fourth, and am still looking for two more!
the three donations were made to:
* Alliance for the Prudent Use of Antibiotics
* National Society of Black Engineers
* Games for Change (which I may have mentioned before)
as always, information about donations are available here: https://mysteriousspace.com/donations/
thank you guys, as always, for playing, providing feedback, and sticking with me!
