Added an option in the options menu to change the font which should be easier for some people to read. Do not worry if the "Get Ready" message is still in the normal font as the gameplay has been tested to show the correct font straight after.

Hey all,

It’s been a while since you’ve heard from us! We’re popping in from the far reaches of The Realm with some exciting news!

Rollers of the Realm is now 50% off as part of the Indie Megabooth Steam sale, running until May 12th!

Now playing on our store homepage: a remastered trailer for Rollers of the Realm. We've included a wider range of exciting moments from the game to better show off our "Very Positive" rating! Thanks to everyone who gave us a positive review!

All of us at Phantom Compass hope you are staying safe and well during these crazy times. We know being stuck at home is starting to get a little old... The IMB sale is a great opportunity to pick up Rollers, or some other awesome indie games at a discounted price to occupy some of your time stuck indoors! :)

Well, that’s all from us! Thanks for your support. We’re signing off now!

Weekly Maintenance has concluded and players may log back in.

Some great feedback has prompted us to introduce controller support to Paradox Vector.

0.9.7.2 is now in the testing branch, and it is a first attempt at getting a controller to work in-game.

To activate the testing branch, go to "Paradox Vector > Properties > Betas" and select "testing" from the drop down menu.

Then, when you run the game, go to "Options > Preferences" and click the button next to "Use Controller."

Right now, it only works in the actual game itself, the controller will not effect menus. Also, the buttons are currently fixed. The "Configure Controller" button does not work yet. We will be working on this, but we thought we would put this out there to see how it works for other players.

Let us know what you think so far!

Updates:
This is a build update. A development report of Steam Early Access year #2 will be published on 9th May 2020


IMG1: Updated environment visual. The previous version can be seen in U#54


IMG2: [top left ]New factory test-wing. [bottom left] Improved command center; now more spacious. [top right] Top view. [bottom right] perspective view

IMG3: Detached Control / UI Movement
In UI mode; the camera will now switch to an overhead view. with traditional control WASD; QE (Rotate) and Mouse Wheel to control zoom. The implementation is still rough

A new phase [TEST] has been partially integrated into the core game loop.
It is not yet activated in-game as there are still several things that need finishing.
This is a compromise as to no longer delay a build update

IMG4: Core Game Loop

Each platform phase will also now has it's own dedicated camera view.

IMG5: (Optional) Platform Upgrade -> Mecha Config -> Test -> Production -> Market. RMB+Open in a new tab for a larger view.
