I have done a full rework of the Audio system which was a serious pain point for Optimisation and the game should actual run at least 200%+ better that It did before!
This work also took a very long time to get setup and optimised which has caused the delay on recent updates!

• Updated the UI Interaction prompts for Shrines, Rift Core and Intergalactic Merchant Items
  
• Removed Rift Modifier Choices and replaced with a more formatted Rift Event
  
• Updated the particles when you destroy a Large Asteriod and Small Asteriods
  
• Added SFX to the Firing and explosion of the Artifact spawned by "Auto-Turret"
  
• Updated the Visuals of the MLG Lighting Module to look visually more like a lightning bolt instead of a missile
  
• Asteroids have a 33% chance to spawn Health Orbs instead of items
  
• The Blink Ability now has a visual indication as a starship outline when its ready to be used
  
• Updated the HUD to collapse Artifacts in the inventory if the Artifacts are below a required amount of fill the first line of the Inventory bar
  
• Removed the hidden DEBUG Menu from the HUD to increase Optimisation as it was causing moderate fps issues.
  
• Added new sound effects for Hex Missiles / Blink Ability coming off of cooldown
  
• Updated the "Used" Shrine Particale Effects
  
• Intergalactic Merchant now has dialogue mentioning they spawned a Shrine when they arrived
  
• Updated the Particale effects of the Augment "Orbital Launcher"
  
• Updated the visuals of the Starship Bay in the Satellite

Throughout the rift you will see "Rift Pockets" change and adjust the Rift Environment, flying into these damages your starship and reduces your vision. Each rift will have a different map with varied rift pocket sizes and locations!

Added some new rift anomalies to dynamically change the map with the new Rift Pockets added this patch along with some balance changes on other Rift Anomalies

Cosmic Rays (NEW)
The Cosmic Rift rumbles with the sound of more Rift Pockets

Deep Pockets (NEW)
Killing an Enemy spawns miniature Rift Pocket

The Black Market has undergone some much needed improvements with new visuals and a very cool new money making feature... play to find out!

Dear Managers 🥐

Today, we’re talking about a key ingredient in any brasserie’s life: the passing of time.
And for this Devlog #3, we’re unveiling a complete rework of the time system.

In the current demo, time flows from 10 AM to midnight, but only when you open your brasserie.
A virtual day lasts 30 real minutes, and you can’t close the brasserie once it’s open.
The result? No breaks, no flexible planning… and limited gameplay possibilities.

In the upcoming Early Access, everything changes.

⏳ Time will flow continuously, whether your brasserie is open or not.
🍷 You’ll be free to open and close at will, giving you more control over your day — take a break, explore, or dive into new features... 👀
⏩ You’ll also be able to fast-forward time to jump straight to your preferred hours.

Time of day will have real impact on your brasserie:

Customer traffic will vary throughout the day

Some dishes will only be ordered at specific times

Special events will take place in the evening — or even late at night…




But beware, because Paris never sleeps…
And at night, anything can happen. 🌙



We’ll see you again next week for a look at a brand-new feature.

In the meantime, feel free to try the free multiplayer mode in the demo — up to 4 players in co-op!

And if you haven’t yet, join our Discord to stay updated in real time.

Where the red chest used to be is now a path that leads to this room with blades swinging all over the place, there are two skeleton guards with great swords. i think they're pretty tough.
it doesnt have fx or any tuning yet.

i just want a bit more area to sell the non linear aspect a bit better,
plus people requested more challenging npcs...

we will see what feels good, i think we have a nice level size to preview.

One of Harold Fleck's main clowns was Ruby. He knew many tricks that delighted the audience. Some even suspected that Ruby was a magician, but the clown himself claimed that he only created the illusion of magic.

At the end of each performance, Ruby took off his hat and went out to the audience to ask them to throw a couple of coins. The audience was always grateful and filled the hat to the brim with gold.

After his death, Ruby also joined the cursed troupe. Now, at the end of each cruel performance, he goes out to the few remaining spectators and collects a bloody harvest. If you are lucky enough to survive, then it is better to pay. Otherwise, there is no escape from the cursed circus.
