Physics Update Preview No Longer On Demo
[ 2021-05-24 00:24:57 CET ] [ Original post ]
This took me a lot longer to implement than I would have liked, but the Physics Update preview is no longer a demo version of the game. This means that you now have stuff like achievements, stats, and leaderboards among other things. Keep in mind that there's a reason that this is on the "beta-build" branch, though. Not everything is implemented. For example, we don't yet have free roam or all 21 planets implemented. But we do have a new upgrade screen, and a reworked upgrade system backend.
Change Highlights
- Upgrade Screen gives you a ratio for the amount of Delta-V needed to go from orbit to the surface and back (1.0 requires perfect burns).
- Upgrade Screen shows you how much your Delta-V Ratio and Thrust to Weight Ratio (TWR) will change with any given upgrade.
- Upgrade Screen now comes in pages.
- The record for largest amount of points awarded for landing and redocking are now tracked on their respective leaderboards.
- The "I Won!" achievement progress is now tracked by Steam (currently unobtainable because not all levels are accessible).
- Re-added 2 more planets in the game to use the new terrain generation feature.

Solar Lander Linux [106.23 M]
Solar Lander a 2D space lander that simulates orbital mechanics and the conservation of angular momentum. Players fly around in an Apollo-style lander, land on the surface of a planet, and then redock with the command module to advance to the next level. You start out in orbit around a planet and docked with the command module. It is your job to make a safe landing on the surface of the planet, then get back into orbit to redock with the command module. Each planet has it's unique characteristics based on real life planetary bodies with procedural terrain generation. Because this game takes place in space, there is absolutely no sound in this game.
