One Week's Update - 20 OCT 2019
Good afternoon all,
Today, Spacefarers! has received a massive content update. I wanted to see how much I could change the game to make it better within a week's timeframe. Below is a summary of the major changes:
- Brand new music to replace the old, annoying, repetitive chiptune style music.
- Brand new terrain textures to add details into the worlds.
- Brand new user interface to make the game look nicer and easier for the player.
- Brand new terrain generation adding ores into the worlds!
- Brand new ores: Coal, Copper, Iron, Gold, Diamond, Ruby, Emerald.
- Mining laser to allow player to destroy terrain blocks, trees, and certain furniture objects. Sold in Straton shops.
- Player can now build with terrain blocks and place furniture items (select use in inventory, then switch to shooting mode).
- Brand new trees that drop wood when hit with a mining laser.
- Crafting benches (wood planks, tables, stools, and furnaces are now craftable). Sold in Teamun shops.
- Furnaces (create items from ores).
- Player can now access the interior of their ship, build, and place furniture objects. The interior saves so the player has a consist base of operations!
- Voices for Straton and Xenu aliens (rather than on-screen text that is difficult to read) as well as v1 and v2 Synths.
- Hissing sound effect for Teamun aliens.
- Purple planets!
- Other minor changes and bug fixes.
I hope you enjoy the update! Keep traversing the stars!
