Hi everyone!
First, all of us at Rhombus Studios want to thank everyone that has provided feedback on the game, whether positive or negative. It has been a fantastic experience for us to get Lord of Rigel into Early Access and have a wider audience look at the game, provide critical feedback, and engage in constructive conversations on the forum.
This week we have patched 90 identified bugs as well as implementing several quality of life improvements in the game based on feedback. We have also been tracking feedback to determine the most popular requests and moving those forward as top priorities for future updates. So far, top change requests include:
- Galaxy menu revisions
- Updating the sensor and fuel range indicators
- Allowing for moving to another colony from colony view and
- Improving custom designs/design editor/refitting ships
We also want to make sure that users are happy with their experience during Early Access. In addition to the forums we have created a survey that provides an opportunity for more targeted feedback that will help us improve future features and overall experiences both in the game and on the forums. We encourage everyone to complete the survey if they haven’t already. It can be found here. Each question has a comments section and we encourage you to use those comments to give us details on the why, especially if something is not working for you.
While we have had nightly builds for this first week of Early Access, we will be moving updates twice a week. That being said if there is a game breaking bug that is identified, a hotfix will be released as soon as possible. This will allow us to do some more validation testing on bugs fixes we are releasing.
Check out the image below to see a revised galaxy menu that provides easier access to research and clearer/additional empire data.
Once again, thank you all for your continued support and we look forward to continued conversations with the community!
