For Patreons: this update talks about devlog #12, but the game version is already on devlog #13 which goes live on Thursday ;)  so a lot more content in this build - but I had to get through the backlog of updates to make sure I can keep it all sorted and correct! 

anyway.. on with the update:

I started working on some sort of teleportation system so that we can go back and forth between the crashed space ship and.. well, pretty much any other spot in the game world.

This somewhat changes how the player interacts with the world, since you can now quickly find safety in your ship, and you will be spending more time in the over-world because of it! – it also saves you from getting lost too much, or running out of health/energy and getting stuck!

Most of my other time was put into improving the interface and making the flow of the game more user friendly. So hints, and just the general “what to do” information is hopefully presented more clearly now. This mostly based on feedback from the demo which was available during the Steam Game Festival a few weeks ago.

Check out this weeks devlog for more details and some game play footage (and teleportation!) –
