Hey there! I hope you've been doing well since the last time we talked. As for me, it's been quite amazing but also very busy. We were selected to be part of a European acceleration program, so I went to Malaga for their first workshop. I learned a lot, met many nice people, and tried some amazing Spanish food. Meanwhile, Alessia and Luisa were working on finishing an amazing cool feature, which is also why this is "part 1". We have too many things to say! Let's get into it! The reputation system overhaul is quite significant. We wanted to simplify things that were not very clear while also making them more interesting in the long term. The first thing we looked into was how to make it more straightforward. Once you start, you can see that you have a very low interstellar reputation. Each time you complete a contract, you can gain one or two reputation points, depending on the complexity of the contract. There is no more distinction between earning points towards one partner or the other. Once you reach a certain reputation, you will receive communication asking you to partner up with either MegaCorp or Sunshine Farms. The decision is permanent and will affect what you can gain from them.
Now that you have chosen a side, the second part of the new system will kick in. You get to see the reputation tree, where based on your reputation with your partner, you can unlock cool and unique things.
You'll also be able to speed up your reputation gain using your new room, the office. But we'll get into this more next week, so you'll have to be patient! What do you guys think?
