v4.1.6: Year-end enhancements
Periphery Synthetic » Devlog
Greetings surveyors!
I’m excited to share another batch of improvements as I work on the final expansion. This addresses your feedback since the last release, and continues to polish the EP with a handful of other enhancements and fixes.
Unfortunately, the expansion will not release until the new year. The new world is fully playable and can be completed in a few hours. Most recently, I overhauled its terrain generator, made some graphical enhancements, and created its Steam achievement icons. I’m currently in the middle of its nearly 1000 words of new text, with more details to share soon.
Enjoy!
v4.1.6 changes
- Fixed a hard lock in the demo.
- Improved the destination guide around and inside caves.
- Faced mountains when fast traveling to their foothills.
- Improved audibility of thruster recharge progress notifications.
- Prevented thruster recharge when thrusters are not installed.
- Ducked scanner sounds when the game is paused.
- Added a visual effect to leaving the atmosphere of The Interstice.
- Reduced atmosphere height within The Interstice.
- Allowed the Danger Zone screen to be entered when the game is paused.
- Added support for time dilation to fast travel time calculations.
