Droneboi 2

1.5.1


  • Reworked some networking systems, sacrificing some accuracy in favor of stability and performance
  • Splash screen
  • 2 new planets
  • Legend on the Realm planet map
  • Temporarily disabled wheels in the Realm in Open Play
  • Hopefully fixed disconnects related to interstitial ads when docking
  • Fixed gravity sometimes disappearing when in the same session as certain vehicles from other players

1.5 Stars & Planets


  • 23 star systems in the Realm, filled with planets, asteroid belts, stations, and stargates to explore
  • Jump to other planets within the same star system using an on-board jumpdrive
  • Jump to other star systems using stargates located in each star system
  • Grassland, tundra, desert, savanna, frozen, and rock planet types
  • Sand item
  • Fuel levels are remembered after a jump, so traveling over longer distances now requires more careful planning of fuel stops
  • Reworked networking to support larger amounts of sessions running simultaneously and in a way that one session crashing or having issues does not affect others (previously this would result in the entire backend going down)
  • Stations no longer noticeably move along their orbit
  • Fixed despawned vehicles not syncing unless both clients were using the websocket transport

1.4.5

Fixed rendering breaking while using thrusters

1.4.4

  • Confirmations for leaving the editor when unable to autosave
