Slight delays being experienced in the release of the new version

Posted by on

Good afternoon Ladies and Gentlemen,

There will be a slight delay to the release of the new version of Env, as we are experiencing some... turbulence on the flight/development. Rest assured that the delay is merely temporary, and the new release will be with you soon.

Some super not-exciting-but-really-useful-stuff has been added, including but not limited to a 'pause' menu with options such as Mouse Sensitivity, Field of View and Anti-Aliasing available, so it's slightly more configurable than previously. The AA setting in particular is very useful if you're experiencing performance issues, it has a huge impact on the frame rate.

I've also rewritten the system for displaying messages to the player, so it's now very easy to add & configure different things to display, you may or may not experience the practical upshot of this depending on whether you manage to finish the game.

Among some of the other major changes (the actually exciting ones, that is), there is a new 'section' of the game which changes the focus & the goal. I'm adding a new screenshot which may give you some indication of what that is. I tried to find a subtle way to let people know what this second goal is, hopefully it will do the job well enough. I'm not very fond of the idea of simply telling the player outright what they need to do, so finding a way to clue people into the goal is tough. I'm looking forward to getting some feedback in this area :)

Have a great day!
