Early Access V1.1.2

Hello everyone! Just a small update this time to add the new Parallax option. A often requested feature, parallax now adds depth to the background elements providing a richer visual experience.

I've also now discovered that the frameworks that I use (XNA/XACT/FNA) do not support disconnect of external audio devices that the game is using. I've come up with a workaround for Windows Vista+ but finding solutions for Linux/OSX (and pre-vista) are still ongoing research.

New Features

Add Parallax video option. When enabled, stars and other background elements have simulated depth. Adjustable from Off to 400%.

Issues Addressed

Crash/freeze on Windows when unplugging external (i.e. USB) audio devices that are being used by the game.

Previously Released Patches

Fixed issue where player and outriders could "lose" their color.

Known issues

Borderless window option is only implemented for Windows right now.
Disconnecting an external audio device being used by the game will cause a crash/freeze on Linux/OSX.
Some options are English only.

Happy blasting!
