v1014 [59fd9fb] -> v1121 [6972e90] Howdy again, @josefnpat here! We've done it. It's been one hell of a road to the final content release, but we've finally done it. I want to make a huge shout out to everyone who made it possible, my heart goes out to you. It's been a heck of a three years, and now we're finally done! Join us for our new campaign, and learn the secrets of the hostile alien race, the Dojeer, in this fun and exciting game mode with a fully voice acted campaign. For veteran players I suspect there is at least four hours of gameplay! As a side note: this marks our final planned content release. Our promise of releasing the campaign and the original lovejam gamemodes has finally come to fruition! At this point, the game is going into maintenance - game breaking bugs and UX issues will be handled, but there is no intention of new content. Thank you everyone for all your support over the years.

v990 [77df05d] -> v1014 [9fd9fb8] Howdy everyone, @josefnpat here! We've been chugging along, and this time we're trying to make the on-boarding process a lot easier! We now have a full training game mode! This game mode has been painstakingly put together so that it's easier for you to learn, and easier for us to demo! We've even done a few demos already, and it works really well! We also have a few other highly requested features (like select all civilian/military units) but we've also added more Quality of life features, and we've even started adding documentation for some of the more advanced features we have to offer. As always, we're inspired by your feedback, good or bad! Please don't hesitate to contact us! Here's the full changelog:

New Features

* Adding Training game mode! * Adding F1 key for selecting all Civilian units. * Adding F2 key for selecting all Military units. * Adding a stroke around currently selected research item. * Spawn locations are now dynamically calculated to keep the players on the map on spawn for smaller maps. * Adding an IP button that shows WAN and LAN addresses for easy connections. * Adding a help button in multiplayer that links to the multiplayer wiki page.

Bugs and Optimizations

* Ships will stop spawning in Survival when the player loses. * Cargo check system reduced from N^2 to N calls. * Fixed fade of game name in client in for players who exit before animation is complete. * Disabling buttons from game while lobby is showing.
