Hi everyone! We are back with yet another patch notes! We continue the effort to reduce the number of bugs and improve the replayability of the game. Here is what the version 0.8.03b14 has for us. As usual, items tagged as [COM] were changed based on community feedback. TUTORIAL We didnt mention the tutorial last sprint because it was still in test phase, although we made it available for you. You know, a test version of a tutorial is still better than no tutorial at all haha. Well, now it is more polished, less susceptible to soft-blocks and with a working flow, in general. That sets it in a place where we are comfortable making it obligatory for new players. It only covers the basic you need to know so you can start learning the rest by playing and having a good time. Its a 1-8 minutes tiny ship with a little bit of storytelling behind it and it should be no trouble for experienced players to rush through, if so they wish. FRIEND INVITE Now the friend invite is fully functional and playing with your friends is way easier than before! After removing that option from the matchmaking menu, weve added it back again! And somehow that makes complete sense.. You can now invite anyone you have in your Steam friends list, regardless of the region they are at, and the invite will go straight to the steam chat. The only restrictions are that you both need to be online and visible on Steam and have the exact same version of the game. COMPEDIUM We added a screen to show everything youve unlocked or can unlock through the achievements in the game. It has descriptions for previously unlocked items and available achievements, but some hidden achievements will only become accessible once the player meets its requirements. This is meant to help everyone understand better the game mechanics and have a quick way to read more about any given item, as long as it is available in the shop. EXERCISE BIKE A new appliance was added to the game! Getting some exercise done on that bicycle grants the players money over time, beyond the obvious health benefits youd expect from it. Just to be clear, that last one was a joke and you should not buy that item if you want to see a THIC and muscular Beaver. BUT in case you do want to see that, our community member CrimsBacons got you covered:
