So many changes! And a flashlight!

A have so many changes to list this time around!

Also, apprently i accidentally uploaded dr4x builds instead of noutopia builds here last week and failed to notice.

This is now, obviously resolved.

Changes:

-Improved climbing on low gravity.

-Added Flashlight when space walking (just press f).

-Added new space debris.

-Added some beautiful new planet models.

-Rewrote gravity mechanics three times until I made it feel good, now its more similar to outer wilds lol.

-Improved UI, now smaller and more user-friendly.

-More buttons at the bottom to explain player actions (to be replaced with a less intrusive tutorial later).

-Sometimes the space debris is just a big flying trash bag

-Debris now properly orbits the life planet.

-Rare corroded debris added around Smogcrest.

-Many new visual effects. Eg screen covering with water when in Emberstorm atmosphere:

Or dusty when on Smogcrest:

-Added three types of debris orbiting Shattersea:

--Red debris: Moves in a fast, chaotic manner, small and hard to hit. But also gives a lot of score/credits when destroyed.

--Green debris: Stable, slow orbits, quite large. Gives a small amount score/credits when destroyed.

--Yellow debris: Stable orbit, but very fast, medium-sized. Gives a medium amount score/credits when destroyed.

-Asteroids now give less credits when destroyed (you could stack money too fast)

-New planet Level of Details (LODs) for ShatterSea and Frostspire.

-15 New music tracks courtesy of Stellardrone

-Completely changed how ship physics works, should be easier to move around and less clunky now based on feedback from brother in law

Next Steps:

• Implement variable planetary drag based on atmosphere (easier to land on Smogcrest, harder on Frostspire)
• Add water features
• Develop shops and stat screen
• Create character conversations

I'm going on vacation for a week with family starting Saturday. I disconnect on those weeks (don't bring my computer, etc.), so no updates then. But I will come back with fresh eyes and new ideas, as I always bring a notebook.

It's been interesting working on something other than DR4X. This game is more photogenic, so maybe more people will take a look. Who knows.

My adorable doggo Bella is doing fantastic! BTW! I woudl take a picture but im tired and its nearly midnight .

See you in a week!
