Optimization

A lot of people wrote that our game bad optimized, we listened to them and made a lot of changes in the game to increase FPS. The most painful part was to change the Unity version. Basically, we rewrote 30% of the game. After some tests, we realized that water and clouds were the biggest memory consuming parts, and we made a new one from scratch. Also, some objects have been optimized.

  • New Unity Version
  • New water: Added
  • New clouds: Added
  • Stones and Flora: Optimized

Interface

  • Help menu: Updated
  • Control via the context menu: Added
  • Access to all ship aggregates: Added
  • Help messages: Updated
  • higher resolutions

Environment

From now on our main goal is to saturate the world with objects, animals, etc. This update shows the small portion of what we plan to add into the game within the next updates, but you can see a huge difference even now. Just have a look at this huge base which you have to build.

  • New Landscape with stones (Astlan): Added
  • A new base in the canyon: Added
  • Hangar mechanics: Fixed
  • Animation, Look of some objects and bases: Changed

Sound

All of the problems you reported during the last 2 months have been fixed. And some new sounds have been added

  • New sound library FMOD: Added
  • Sound Bugs: Fixed
  • Previous bugs - update Vol.14: Fixed

Gameplay problems which we found in the discussions section and reports were fixed. If you will find some more please don't hesitate and report to us.

Story-line

Some of you worry about the canyon. "Why it's so empty and there is nothing to do". Now you will spend a lot of time finishing the storyline which was created for this location.

  • New Quests: Added
