So, Environmental Station Alpha was just updated! The update doesn't add much, mostly fixing some tiny, tiny bugs. However, there's some underlying stuff that has changed and that'll help future patches a lot. That is, I've replaced certain code that wasn't working anymore and that prevented the game from being updated. It took a long time, but now that's taken care of! There probably isn't all that much patching to happen with ESA anymore, but nevertheless I prefer having the option to do so.

- Fullscreen toggle on Start now on Main branch
- Colored chests - red has 100% chance for ingredients & blue has 100% chance of equipment
- Some tutorial and text fixes/additional info
- Cheaper pricing changes on ingredients in restaurant
- Collector achievement if you have at least 60 unique items at one time after obtaining a new one
- New "Ingredients" tab for inventory
- Preliminary "Sort by Price" option
- Autostock now always stocks highest priced items
- Other minor tweaks and fixes


Note that playing on Beta branch accesses new features but is potentially less stable than main

Early access changes can be tried on the Beta (x86_64) branch and will be moved to Main branch after sufficient testing is completed. Thanks!

The latest build (0.1.1) starts you off at the help introduction screen if no immediate move is made to open or cycle the menu. The default menu has also been set to the browser now, so you can quickly jump right into finding new tunescapes to explore!

And the first trouble with it.
Just note, you need OpenAl (tested on Ubuntu 16.04 x64) and, in general, everything is fine visually if you do not take into account the white thin strips on the edges of the screen in the menu (they gone away while playing). The bigger sore was just OpenAl. Well, maybe you understand "libopenal1" instead of "libopenal", I did not begin to delve into how to replace the reference. Because of this thing, there's no sound in the game(game trying to catch up a "libopenal.so". I hope you will be all right with this (in any case, the demo version is attached).

That's right, that heavy-drinking scourge of ancient China, Chōryō Bun'en (Zhang Liao to you Chinese history buffs) or Shia, to her friends, has arrived!

Fighting game fans, get ready to rock the Three Kingdoms as Koihime Enbu RyoRaiRai is now on available on Steam!
