A week of slow progress, mostly on purpose as I took it all a bit slower this week!  BUT that doesn’t mean nothing got done, it actually allowed me to focus on a bunch of tiny things, and at the end of the week.. that makes up for a huge list of fixes!

All Kickstart backer names are now in the credits (yay!) and surveys sent out for planet name rewards. I also started working on the lore, if you know bump into one of the Hologram shrines, you’ll be greeted with a variation of messages and hints.

Every planet now also comes with a new little storage-container device, once you activate and open it, you’ll find a random collectible trinket in there! Every planet has one, sometimes two, and there will be a menu interface to keep track of the full collection (also showing you what you missed).

So Patrons and Kickstarter backers, update your version and enjoy !
