Startopia 1.01.1
A Startopia update! This time a brand new Beta, and not to be confused with the minor splash screen update I posted earlier. It's kind of a big deal, although not a terribly exciting update, I'm afraid; consider it a scene setter, though, that will hopefully pave the way for some slightly more interesting updates going forwards.
If you want to check it out, you'll need to opt into Betas via Startopia's Properties panel here on Steam, and if anyone does fancy trying it, then it would be hugely appreciated, although obviously, you do so at your own risk! It *should* be compatible with existing save games, but please back up any game profiles and save games that are important to you, as there's always a risk with early release software like this that could cause problems.
Because this is a new build of old code, we're mainly looking for inconsistencies between this and the original 1.01 version of the game everyone's played up until now. Please be on the lookout for missing features, exciting new crashes, or anything that doesn't seem quite right.
So to reiterate, we're currently looking for anything *new* and strange, not old and strange
Finally, if you experience any issues, please let me know in this thread, and if you face any significant issues with this, then simply opt-out of the Beta, which will return you to the original version of the game.
Finally finally, please go easy on me; This is a part-time hobby for me and very much my passion project, but I don't have a lot of time to work on it. If this re-build of the code works, though, then I'm certainly planning to do more in the upcoming months.
