Small Progress Update
[p]Hi everyone.
Just two small updates.
Update of the roadmap, it's still not strongly defined, but a rough guide. A few people were asking me a while back to make it larger and I've been putting that off too long, so here it is!
[img src="https://clan.akamai.steamstatic.com/images/38223288/30c64e2c69577a2ef83e68feb2b1a5a5658bb5e3.png"]Also favoriting/tracking recipes will be coming in the next update - which is mainly focused on the underwater features
[img src="https://clan.akamai.steamstatic.com/images/38223288/ad4a705faaadf3e33b38c1657c83df7c5076c15e.jpg"] [/p][p]Otherwise things are progressing at an okay pace. These world building features are always the most time consuming even though it might seem simpler at a glance (These include drawing art, placing level colliders, etc), it's a lot more work than the stuff that is more coding focused (not saying either is harder, just that these have a lot more work involved). I am loving it and can't wait for you all to experience it! The world of Starseed is growing! [/p][p][/p][p]Things will definitely pick up once we get these features in. [/p][p][/p][p]Thanks for understanding and being patient. [/p][p]See you soon! [/p]
Upcoming Underwater Update 2
[p]The underwater update is still progressing and looking better! (Work in progress)
Just an example of how it's changed
Before (This is from the last update):[/p][p][img src="https://clan.akamai.steamstatic.com/images/38223288/d4926d54e4887253e984fc713f17b726f104bf47.png"][/p][p] After: [img src="https://clan.akamai.steamstatic.com/images/38223288/a986f26e696ef167482abc76fd27bbbbb9cc61e0.png"][/p][p][img src="https://clan.akamai.steamstatic.com/images/38223288/fa7032278790bc80a6779f0d7bb98cae9246364f.png"][/p][p][dynamiclink href="https://youtu.be/6sNxv6FQyx8"](Please watch in high quality)
So it was more intense and oppressive before and reused the dirt tiles. Now it's more atmospheric, enchanting and visible. I created a smoother floor tile for finer sand. There are obviously also new resources coming with this.
It's still work in progress so things can change, but it is nearing completion. [/p][p]Thanks everyone! See you soon! [/p]

See you soon!

What's next immediately (Upcoming week or 2):
Monitoring and fixing any issues
Better storage for dronehubs, some people reported an error that not all slots are used, this was intentional as it's each slot per different item type, so next is to improve that
More teleports, now with the lava area added, it can be annoying to walk that far every single time so sub area teleports will be needed
More polish and content in the added areas, the basics are set up but there is room for a lot more
Updating tutorials
What's next for the Early Access plan (Long-term):
Underwater area (With new resources, etc)
Controller support!
Updating missions
More upgrades
And more!
Please report any errors or issues, any ideas are also welcome.
Thank you for the continued support and enjoy!
See you soon!
