Merry Christmas.
So, initially I planned to do a full public content update however as I am currently away from home, my laptop seems to have issues packaging the game for 32 Bit. I really wanted to share something around Christmas so I figured that I will release this update under our public developer branch.
If you want to play the updated game then make sure you set the game to: Public Dev Branch. You can read how to opt into the public dev branch HERE
So yeah, time for another content update, sort of. I'll move the update to the public branch when I'm sure there aren't any issues. This means that the base game / default public branch will remain unchanged for now.
The reason for this update, well, while I was working on the new chapter I also went back and went through chapter one and two and basically replaced / updated and added content. I have and will continue to alter early game content and see what I can add to it that helps build the game's universe.
I also didn't want Christmas and New Year's pass by without having anything to show for it, so here you go. While it's not a new chapter I do hope it's something some of you will enjoy. :)
New Content
While in general the changes aren't incredibly significant and in one or two cases not yet finished I wanted to put this out and see what the reactions are.
I added a number of easter egss regarding my kitty game as well as expanding on things that were already there. For instance I always wanted to have a cat on board the ship, a very big nod to Alien but it also adds a little bit of character to the game. So I want to introduce to you: Rascal. A small kitten that you'll find in a few areas throughout the game. :)
Little Rascal
I also added an NPC that doesn't do very much except looking at Aryn if she comes into his view. I guess we can call him, Mike, the security guard. He's stationed at the STARDOCKS and he's there make the game feel just a tad less lonely.
Hi Mike, or is it Ted? Maybe it's Luke, oh well, he's a friendly fella and very loyal to his duty !!!
I also went through Deck one on board the SD-01 and I added some more stuff to Aryn's apartment. You might even miss some of the changes because they're simply meant to add more detail and depth to the areas.
I will continue to add more little things like these throughout development and most likely before chapter 4 is released. Oh, and you can also check out the revamped UI of computer interfaces. I have a ton of stuff planned for the final chapters I just need time to get it all done.
Purdy?
All these changes should be LIVE right now. So those who have been looking for an excuse to replay the game, this might be a good time but keep in mind, more new stuff will be added over time. ;)

P.S. I also fixed the fruit bowl. I know it was driving some of you bananas....
