Backer Alpha Patch #7 - Ancient
Posted December 02, 2024 by Tundra
Greetings Commander,
Patch #7 is now available for download: Alpha v0.0.7
This patch brings us two new ships, Ancient A and Ancient B.
We have also implemented high resolution text for most of the text in the game. Hi-res text should significantly improve readability for players running the game fullscreen at common resolutions like 1920x1080.
There may be some UI layering issues or text spacing issues as a result of this update so if you encounter any please post a bug report in our Discord.
Version Number: Alpha 0.0.7
