Hi, I'm targeting to release an update mid March, wanted to share a bit what to expect. In case you have wishes or proposals, please write those here or send us directly at [email protected]
VR: Improved readability on some of the menus, mostly in the strategy view (the mainship screen) and the Crafting table in the Lab.
VR / Controls: I'm investigating a possibility to add some joystick support (so, HOTAS) onboard and it's looking good. A problem is that creating profiles for joysticks requires for us to actually own said sticks. So for the first batch we are aiming to bring support for Thrustmaster T.Flight Hotas 4 and MS Sidewinder Precision 2.
Controls: I revamped the mouse controls, bringing in smoothing between the jet animation and cursor to make the feel more intuitive and just a tad more challenging. My personal favorite controller for Distantia is gamepad, this takes the feel much closer to it.
Gameplay: Changing the numeric distance information into an altitude indicator for better visualization of how close the planets are.
Visuals: New set of atmosphere shaders to create even more nicer and varying looks for the planets.
And gameplay balancing and bugfixing of course as well.
Thanks!
