After the launch of Space Elite Force II, we also decided to bring improvements to Space Elite Force I. Version 1.3.0 brings significant technical and mainly improvements to the game's visuals.
Graphics
after comparing Space Elite Force I with Space Elite Force II, we realized that there was a big difference in graphics quality. So we dedicate a little bit of our time to improve that in the game too. See below some screenshots of before and after:
Controls support
Now, in version 1.3.0, the game has native support for Xbox 360, Xbox One, Playtation 2, 3 and 4 controls, Gamepads and most generic controls on the market. To bring the most comfortable player experience, we have implemented a complete and effective recognition system for recognizing the drivers for each control. Vibration functionality has also been implemented, if the control is compatible with this functionality.
Optimization
A strict polishing and optimization work was done in the game's programming. At the time the game was released, I didn't have the programming experience that I have today, so an evaluation and correction work was done for each game script.
Linux
For now, the game will only support 64-bit versions of Linux, but we are already working to resolve this issue as soon as possible.
I hope you enjoy these improvements, your feedback is very important. Thanks!
Att, Alysson Moraes - Developer.
Space Elite Force II - Update 1.0.1
First game update brings some improvements to the default control settings, menu navigation and a map of the keyboard controls.
The game underwent rigorous tests in the recognition and remapping of controls, the tests were made with an Xbox One controller (Xinput) and generic Playstation 2. Some problems like starting with the inverted joystick axis have been resolved, but nothing very serious has been found.
Now, in the controls remap menu, a map of the keyboard controls will appear, if the chosen player has no control assigned to him.
The navigation in side menus has also been improved, now you use buttons with 'Q' and 'E', RB and LB to navigate between the menus, this made navigation easier and easier to understand.
We will continue to improve according to player feedback.
