The main feature development work for the next build is now done, and now it's time for testing and polishing. There's still a few extra UI features that are planned but pending (like officer list filtering), but the build is on track for next week.
The past week has seen the implementation of the demands system. Demands, as opposed to vitals, are material needs that officers develop as their prestige and experience grows. Redshirts only demand a low salary, but graduates and masters demand a furnished room. For example:
Providing a room is done by assigning a new kind of bed to the officer, which fills the delimiting area, and automatically changes ownership of all objects:
Not catering to all of the demands of an officer can give them negative feelings:
This is a stacking negative feeling that goes down faster the less fulfilled the demands of an officer are. If you let it go down too much, officers can even go on strike:
Striking officers will refuse to work and will randomly break objects around them, but are otherwise fully abled. The will still satisfy their vital needs and will participate in combat.
Having expert officers in your station will be a balance act, between making sure you can provide to their needs and wages, and how expendable labour is for you.
Max has also prepared new decorations. Some of them will have gameplay purpose and become a specific demand from your most experienced officers:
Some others, well, we now have exploding space rugs.

About Weird and Wry
Weird and Wry is a Barcelona game development studio founded in 2014 by two brothers: Carlos and Max Carrasco. Carlos (a programmer) and Max (an artist) share a love for simulation games and classic play -- which heavily influenced The Spatials, their first project. Inspired by the great classic sim games of the '90s, The Spatials combined classic base-building gameplay (based on isometric tile room building) with a real-time combat system and an exploration campaign. The Spatials was released on Steam in March 2015 and took off! Thanks to its success and growing fan base, The Spatials spawned a sequel -- The Spatials: Galactology, which updates the original concept with deeper gameplay and a whole new take on the space station management business.- OS: Ubuntu 14.04 64 bit
