Hello lovely space people!
Before I get to what's in this update, a friend of mine with a Steam Deck has told me that the Linux version of the game isn't working on Steam Deck, but that the Windows version is working properly under Proton. For anyone trying to play the game on a steam deck and it's not working go to properties -> compatibility and force it to use Proton.
This update has a couple of small optimizations that shouldn't affect most users much but may help on really low-end systems.
There are also some balance tweaks:
-Slightly increased Railgun damage
-Flechettes reworked to have submunitions now. They also fire slower but have more ammo
-Slightly decreased Photon Disruptor firing rate
-Greatly increased Tachyon Seeker damage
Thank you so much to all the new players trying out the game! And thank you so much to everyone who has left a review or feedback. I can't express my gratitude enough for all the support and direction you have all provided. Please continue to let me know about any thoughts you have on the game! And I hope you all have fun until the next time I see you IN SPACE!
