v0.5.8

I've been hard at work. I made tons of quality of life improvements in this update. More to come in the next!

I'm short on time today, so I present the notes in the order they were written:

  • Added reminder for players after "Turn off everything" in the overheating event
  • Changed [chance] to [random] for better clarity of meaning
  • Changed [Inert] to [Passive] for better clarity of meaning (... "Inert" isn't a big word...)
  • Added "[ spacebar ]" hint next to minigame pings. Note: right-click also still works
  • Secret event choices are now also tagged in-line
  • Flipped highlight and press colors for event choices
  • Fuel cells now start on. Simplified rules: all large and/ or powered systems start disabled. This also means Toilets, Gyms, and others will start on.
  • Reduced hitboxes so you can now slide between diagonal mines more reliably
  • Fixed crew rotation not saving
  • Fixed a cause of character freezes
  • Changed resource tooltips so they can pop up during events
  • Fixed door placement being blocked by previously-placed hull art
  • Added and changed the parts symbol to a wrench
  • Reduced minigame difficulty slightly: Easy has +5 seconds (to 50), Medium has +5 seconds (to 55) and -1 mine (to max 14), Hard has -2 mines (to max 18)
  • Re-enabled screen shake on mine hit
  • Fixed closing pause menu in minigame (now resumes properly)
  • Prevented a possible source of minigames not ending after 0 seconds left
  • Colored minigame time left by result potential
  • Stopped clues showing up in the walls (because of pings)
  • Changed wording on the failure result of the spy story event to "wind rushing out" from "wind rushing past it"
  • Added "Random Keyword" option to ship building. Allows toggling of automatic "Random (50%)" system bonuses
  • Fixed crew's death flavor being colored as survived when they died (only happens on success, and none of you have gotten that far, lbh)
  • Added Abandon Ship button to the game screen
  • Added option for simplified tooltips (reduces mechanical text). Should be default for new players
  • Added more colors to important sections of tooltips
  • Increased opacity of tooltip background
