Development update 2016-10-06

Work has progressed on the implementation of wearable items, with a focus on usability given the predictably large staff sizes.

More items by Max

Max has drawn the last batch of items for this version, with sets of chest, feet and hands armor:

There's now 85 items in the game.

Random and scaling loot

Loot is now always instanced, with its stats based on its level and changed randomly over the default value. Different pieces of loot have a different roll bracket. Some of them can roll very high, almost doubling the normal power for an item of its level. They also have a rarity value, which will be used later on for random drops and manufacturing.

Directly equipping items from the map

The first equip capability is the most direct one:

Just select the officer, then right click an item. The context menu will offer the option to equip it, and also give you an error message in case the officer is unable to equip the item. Like in V2, items are forever bound to the officer who equips them, and destroyed when replaced.

Equipment matrix

Having to keep your staff equipped by finding items all over your station would be a nightmare. An efficient UI is required:

The equipment matrix displays all the current equipped items by your officers on the left, and all the items in your station on the right. To equip an item just drag it from the right panel onto the left panel. You don't even need to aim for the correct slot, the game will automatically recognize it and prompt you before the item is replaced. It still needs a bit more work, to add item filtering and officer sorting by item quality.

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.
