Devlogs

Version 0.3.1

Sunward
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux

Added

  • The Earth Charter now ends with a final step: repay your founding debt to win full independence.
  • Future delivery contracts show the premium they pay over the market price, and always offer a contract for every goods tier you can produce.
  • Surveyed regions show their resource estimate on the solar-system map, and the relic panel gains a Codex shortcut.

Changed

  • Redesigned event banner under the top bar: a solid, colour-coded bar with a progress meter that also warns you about incoming deadlines (a tribute due soon, a delivery contract closing).
  • Bottom-bar alerts now point to the exact tab that needs you.
  • Solar-system region panels are all one uniform width.
  • Placing a building deselects the tool afterward (hold Shift to keep placing); low-power buildings are now clearly flagged.

Fixed

  • You can now plan freighter routes while paused.
  • Alien relics in other regions are reachable now, and older saves automatically re-place a relic that was stranded out of range.
  • Station cores no longer overlap large planets (Saturn), and you can build in regions where asteroids crowd the core's landing pads (Neptune).
  • The Warp Coil recipe unlocks properly once you decode the precursor gate tech.
  • The demolish confirmation window is centred.
  • A batch of backlog bugs fixed.

Balance

  • Gentler building upkeep with a grace period before spare-part shortages bite, slower colonist leveling, and tribute deadlines that lengthen as the demands get harder.
