Space Impossible BETA 15 Pre-Release has arrived. And it's a pretty big one. Where to start? New music system (with additional music), new region types, new stuff in regions, new ships, new components, wormholes, new system to system transition, huge rework of existing transition, tons of bug fixes, and a bunch of quality-of-life features.
The new music system features music better fade in/fade out, situational music (you getting targeted by something is going to play different music than a chill, quiet area) with new Space Impossible appropriate music tracks.
New regions are in: Comets, Trade Blockades and a number of anomalies. These offer some new encounters, new resources, new objects to fight or trade with, and new unique visuals to see.
New ships and vessels are added for the new regions and encounters.
A number of new components have been added. Some can be manufactured, others are uniquely available from the new ships and encounters.
Wormholes have been (re)added. These have been reworked and now offer faster, larger leaps to move about the universe. Please note: they will only appear in new universes.
It's been a long time coming, but star system to star system movement now has a nice visual effect.
A significant amount of reworking the technical way transitions (going to warp, exiting warp, moving between systems) has occurred. We discovered a number of the remaining duplication/lost object bugs were related to the previous implementation, especially if the game was exited or crashed during these transitions.
Including the issues related with transitions, over 50 bugs were squashed.
A number of quality-of-life (QoL) features were added. Things ranging from a subtle camera pan depending on player action, to Traders hinting or referencing things they'd like to buy, to replacement of the white flash from warp. Those and more.
As usual with a Pre-Release, the final BETA 15 build will be released once we're happy the state of the game is bug free.
If you would like to check out this pre-release build all the usual things apply, it will have problems (some of which we know about) and universes created may not be compatible with the final release. Let us know your thoughts via the forums or on our discord.
