This weeks updates focusing on finishing out the planned event content for Alpha 5. More content is coming for the additional features of the game and more events with more complex decisions and choices will be added over time as well but this content should already provide hours of entertainment already based on user data.
When adding new events there are many different permutations that occur as there are multiple opening dialogues for each image, multiple, choices, and multiple results. Also some of the event images are used in different ways so they are not always unique. To see all the possible text from the current events would require thousands of events being played out.
More options have also been added to the settings menu which should also provide more overall gameplay customization.
One of the major issues that must be fixed in order to get to Alpha 6 is the crew members appearing to float into space. For the most part it is purely a graphical error but this is eagerly being tracked down.
Thank you all again for your help and suggestions, as they are continuously being worked on and good luck out there!
