Version 0.2.3

Sunward
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux

Added

  • Region Surveyor anomalies: a completed remote survey flags an "abnormal signal" when a region hides an alien artefact, with a news alert.
  • A game menu button in the top bar, next to Help, on the region, solar-system, and galaxy views.
  • "Generating" meters in the building panel show a station core, reactor, or Life Support's live power and oxygen output.

Changed

  • Redesigned the solar-system and galaxy side panels into cleaner cards: a status badge, key stats, and the Station Core materials shown with resource icons when colonizing.
  • Colonizing a new region now also spends the Station Core's build materials, on top of the cash fee.
  • The Asteroid Belt is now open space: no central planet, and a denser field of smaller asteroids to mine.
  • Clearer building upgrade labels, larger alien artefacts on the map, and full station names across the menus.
  • Resource-balancing pass across ore yields, refined goods, and market prices.

Fixed

  • Fixed a crash when closing the radial build menu.
  • A region's last station core can no longer be demolished, so a colony can't be stranded.
  • A batch of backlog bugs fixed (overlapping asteroids, population counts, paused-map readouts, and more).
