It's been worth the wait folks! Promise! new Interstellaria patch is live!



The new UI should be a LOT easier to work with for everyone. Things are much more clear, multiple menus can be opened at once, and more importantly the UI behaves better with different resolutions than the previous version.

In addition to the new UI, there should be a few new NPC's to talk to, some new items hiding throughout the game, as well as a new ship purchasable early on. It's all very exciting!

As the developer I would also like to address and apologize for the length of time it took to complete the patch. A lot of people are surprised to discover that Interstellaria is a solo dev project - just me (coldrice). As you can imagine, there is a LOT that goes into a game, and that's a LOT being done by a single person. I work a regular full time job and support a family as well as making games, so my progress is not quite as fast as bigger teams. It's not an excuse however! It just means it takes me a bit longer to get things turned around to where I want it. I make Interstellaria because I love Interstellaria, not really for any other reason.

An additional factor to the delay is the extent of the update. The original plan was a superficial/readability update for the UI. Instead, the entire UI system was taken out and replaced with something far more flexible. This should make it easier to extend, or if needed easier to remove bugs. Hopefully you guys like it!

Thanks for holding on guys!
