Thank you <3

It has been a while, much have happened in the operative landscape since we released the game.
Windows 11 is now a thing, Steamdeck exist, Mac requires 64Bit. 50 steam SDK patches has transpired.

This patch includes mostly stability fixes to support the moving target of modern operative systems.
And Steamdeck support! RymdResa now runs on steamdeck.

Steamdeck users can now run the game through default Proton.
Some of the main blocker for this has been our setup with save/load files and game asset loading strangely. It should now just work.

The game now behaves a little better with updated runtime.

We now have 64 universal mac builds, so in theory that should work on all kinds of mac until there is a new architecture again.

The game has been working on Linux for some time now, but launching it through Linux Steam has been flaking over the years. The old workaround to start the ./Rymdresa binary directly from the terminal is the safest way to run without steam. Another hack is to simply run it Big screen mode that will trigger the game to run with Proton

We are focusing on our new next game Lunar Soil
Join our PlayTests and wishlist it.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1370650/Bit__Animation_Editor/
We're live right now, making some art, so come join us! =D



Bit is an art tool with powerful export options, used to compose and design animated pixel art! It concentrates on composition design and simpler mechanical animations like tweening/easing. Moreover, we have a Unity importer available for it.

And here's a link to the manual, where you can learn everything you need to get started. You can for example read about how to create a new project here.



Take care! <3

The Vast Void/RymdResa Universe is filled with strange space writings, floating around, wanting to be read. And now they finally can be translated.

Note that we also have updated the Start Screen document with some more words.
Have a look at some translated Start Screens and the Space Writings

Have a wonderful day! <3

Hey!

The Start Screen and Options have now been added to the translation folder:
https://morgondag.io/blogs/morgondag/translation-options-start-screen

Thank you so much for helping us translate Vast Void! <3
We are especially impressed by the German and Japanese translations! Wow!

//Morgondag

We implemented options for Vast Void.  


This was quite a drag to develop but an important part for the game.

• Sound, Music and Voice Levels
• Screen alternatives
• Gameplay settings
• Game Language
• Rebindable controls

 Let us know if you have any preferences for important options. 

 


We started implementing localization and we are excited to see the community translations in-game! above images are from the Swedish and English version of the start screen. The Japanese switch version is going to amazing. 

 
We are trying or best to finish Vast Void but we love to explore technical solutions, we played around a little-bit with Lunar Soil and some multiplayer concepts. We got a rudimentary little build working with cross-platform multiplayer between android, iOS, Mac, win and switch.

We've released a new translation document: The Missions!

You can reach all the translation documents here



Here's the missions UI in RymdResa! The missions UI in Vast Void will probably look a little different; however, the content will be the same. 

We currently got nine parts available for translation:

Diary Pods - The pilot’s main voiced narrative. 
Exploration Quests - The quests you get when exploring an entity in space (like a planet, galaxy, etc.). These have the most complex translation structure, as each quest can have different outcomes. 
Special Quests - The chapter 1 goal texts. These got a much more manageable structure than the exploration quests.
The Easter Egg Riddles - Our precious Easter Eggs, containing riddles for the player to answer. 
The Burnt Ship Voice Log - One of the side quests containing a voice log. The smallest document of them all. =)
The Year Event Stories - All Year Events in the game where players are presented with a short story and get to choose among different rewards. 
The Researchable Upgrades -  Our researchable upgrades; all of them having a title and a short description). 
Consumable Items - These are all the consumable items which the player can find in space. They all got a title and a short description. 
Missions - All the missions the player can accomplish in the game. 

There're still some parts remaining like for example the Boss Battles, UI, regular Items' description - we're hoping to release them soon!  =)

Thank you for all the amazing help we've gotten so far! <3 

If you help out with the translations, remember to add your alias or name to the translator field so we can thank you in the game credits. And it would also be wonderful if you reached out via mail so we can thank you in person! Our leave your mail to us so we can reach out! =)

Let us know if you run into any problems or want to add a language by commenting directly in the document or joining our dedicated translation thread over at Discord or sending us a mail. 

Furthermore, if you have any translation tips, can recommend a professional translator to help out on top of the community translations or are a professional translator that wants to give us a quotation, let us know.
