The second minor update is now live for Moonlite - 1975. This update - pre-alpha v0.52 - will be auto-applied the next time you restart your Steam client, and focuses on HUD changes.
HUD Changes
The HUD from the launch build (v0.5) was very text heavy:
Non-numerical text has now been replaced with icons and tooltips:
These changes have been propagated to all related assets. Below is a full list of v0.52 changes:
- HUD vignette has been added to simulate a gods-eye view of player
- Non-numerical HUD text has been replaced with appropriate icons
- Compass can now be toggled on/off using the C key
- Compass and lamp are auto-enabled on entering/exiting lander (for astronaut and lander)
- Inventory artwork replaced to match HUD changes
- Supply artwork replaced to match HUD changes
- Crate artwork replaced to match HUD changes
- Clue artwork updated to match HUD changes
Your existing save-game should be unaffected.
Upcoming Work
This update, and subsequent ones, aim to ease the path towards the first major update - 0.6 - aka the tools and technologies update. My next aim is to allow tool slot customisation (via v0.53).
Stay tuned for further news and updates.
