- Save game slots - 10 save game slots have been added! If you have an existing save game, it will appear under slot 6. The date and percentage will update once you open / save the game. Slots 1-5 are Normal Mode, and Slots 6-10 are Open Exploration Mode!
- Normal Mode - Here, your ability points count, and this is how Planetary Settlers was originally envisioned! As you complete challenges, you earn ability points that allow you to increase your skills, and shield against harsher environments / solar radiation. It is effectively a level-up system. Upgrade and reconfigure Blue 42 under the ability tab! Simply select a new save under the Normal Mode tab to begin!
- Open Exploration Mode - Lets you explore the solar system without most of the restrictions, and is the way Planetary Settlers has existed so far. Any already existing save game is located in Slot 6.
- Updated look and feel - Replaced the cartoony looking rocket, and redesigning Blue 42's look to not be cartoony. I realize that while the cartoon look appeals to kids, it does not appeal to adults. I plan to make Planetary Settlers look more realistic, appealing to both kids and adults! If you like the rocket, it is still preserved as a toy / decoration!
- Updated music - I added music to the title screen, as well as replacing the music of Venus (I got feedback that the old Venus music was not very good, but I think the new song is much better).
- Bug fixes / improvements - I also made a number of bug fixes and other minor improvements!
