Slitherine

Hi!

I am working on a new patch.

To the date it includes this:

- Interdictor module is now much quicker to research
- Fixed a bug with experience points lost for small ships in hangars
- Search for objects on a global map (fleets, ships, stars, planets, heroes)
- Keyboard shortcuts for fleets and stars on a global map
- Upkeep info added to the ship info screen
- Possibility to name fleets
- Configuration option to always allow initial ship placement in combat, even when attacking
- Fixed a bug with different scanner/jammer types not showing in the design info
- Fixed a bug with "radioactive world" race lacking hydroponics
- Allowed a bit closer zoom-in for the galaxy map

Will be released soon (hope to give it to production team this weekend)

thanks for the work as always

And found "anomalies", please. Recently I couldn't find discovered (but not opened due to lack of containers) "gravitational anomaly". The fact that it looks like a blue star added to the problem.

Thanks for the continued support!

Indeed, awesome to see tweaking and incremental improvements going on after release.

Hi,

For a bit of final testing on this, we've put it up as an Open Beta on Steam.

I understand that not everyone likes Steam, but it's considerably easier for us to put up a quick test preview with their system. Needless to say, the final patch will be released to Slitherine users at the same time as on Steam.

Thanks!

thanks as always

For the $40 game this sounds unreasonably "cheap". But, of course, you don't really care.

Hi,

It's not about cheap, it's about time. Syncing a build to a steam open beta branch is very quick to do, much quicker than creating a new installer that we have to test to ensure that it doesn't do any harm or have any ill effects when uninstalled.

We care a lot, that's why we've gone for this route for this particular pre-patch

It's been a week since the "pre-patch" on Steam. When do we see it here?

Any news, please?
