Greetings, Kings and Queens! This update is on the smaller side, but we'd still very much appreciate your feedback.

First, we need to make an announcement. From version 0.9.8 feedback and during our internal testing, we've found a serious issue tied to Leaderboards and mission restart, which always results in a crash. Unfortunately, this bug turned out to be much more intricate and hard to fix. While we're working on solving this problem, we've made a tough decision to temporarily disable the Leaderboards in order to ward off the players from encountering the crash. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience, but rest assured we're looking to fix this bug ASAP.

• Dune Reaver units can be moved to any road for free
  
• Improved taunt for Lunar Bravado dictate
  
• Special rune and dictate for countering the stealth orx

• Placement UI improvements when playing a card

• GigaORX and player units rewrite for improved game stability
  
• General under-the-hood improvements to the game code

• First iteration fix for inability to place Small House if too many units are present.

This patch is on the smaller side, but we're actively working on solving issues reported by our dear players, here are some of them.

• The game crashing after visiting Leaderboards and then trying to restart mission/abandon campaign.
  
• The Forge giving weapons based on road length. This one is actually working as intended — The Forge provides 0.2 (rounded off to at least 1) Tier 1 weapons per road tile. So it's 1 weapon card for approximately 5-6 road tiles.
  
• Various issues with gold piles and coins overlapping units and UI elements.
  
• Bugs tied to the Final Boss behaviour.
  
• Cards jittering in hand when bringing the cursor to the bottom edge of the screen.
  
• Neutral buildings spawning in inaccessible areas of the map.
  
• Upgrade Vault appearing as locked upon quest completion. You can still use the vault by opening it's info window and clicking "Upgrade shrine" button.
  
• Being presented with a copies of an artefact you already own at artefact selection screen.
  
• Mystic Crypt having an incorrect description. This card does not change the card's sefiroth to Sacred.
  
• Only a certain category of spells triggering Sphinx proc.
  
• The rotate button appearing for some Dune Reavers buildings after an upgrade.
  
• Bosses not appearing if the wave gets killed off before getting close enough to the town.
  
• Various localization errors in different languages.

We listen to all feedback and are dedicated to making ORX the best it could be. So share your ideas, suggestions and bug reports on our official channels!



We're also working on bringing a good chunk of content with the next update, which is just around the corner — stay tuned for the Experimental Branch version and content overview!

Thank you for your support of ORX and for being loyal to the Kingdom! Until next time!

Hey, Galaxy Explorers!🚀🌌

We trust this message finds you in high cosmic spirits. In the past month, we've been diligently working on crafting various characters and animals to enrich your gameplay experience. Let's delve into the diverse universe awaiting you and your crew!

CHARACTERS👩‍🦰

Our goal was to develop a minimalist yet expressive art style, enabling a vast range of customization options to strengthen the bond between you and your crew members. Our extensive character customization system offers endless possibilities for personalizing your crew, including head and ear shapes, eyes and eyebrows, facial and hairstyles, scars, tattoos, and biomodifications! We're also adding variety in terms of height, eye and ear placement, and head size for that extra touch of individuality. We've strived to create an art style that is unique, simple, visually pleasing, and modder-friendly. We plan to release art/modding tutorials later, making it a breeze to create your own character mods in Nebula! This initial art pass features only a few assets, but it already showcases the potential for crafting diverse and expressive characters, both in terms of their visual characteristics and in-game traits and personalities.



As crew members face challenges and sustain injuries, their appearances will evolve to reflect their experiences, adding depth and realism to your adventures. Take Jammer, for example: After engaging in a fierce battle, he suffers significant wounds, losing an eye and an ear while accumulating numerous scars on his body and face. As time passes, Jammer heals, and with the aid of advanced biomodifications, he receives "prosthetic" replacements to compensate for his impaired hearing and vision, showcasing his resilience and adaptability in the face of adversity (at least his hair stayed intact).



As for body design and clothing, you can expect a range of stylish outfits for your colonists to wear, providing an excellent opportunity to show off your style during intergalactic voyages and diplomatic meetings! Additionally, we've recognized the value of adding hands to your pawns for a more immersive experience. With the addition of hands, we can display a broader spectrum of expressive behaviors. Whether your pawns are sweeping floors, carrying resources, or engaging in furious fistfights, their hands will enhance these character actions in a lively and dynamic way. Body designs and hands are still being heavily worked on, so we'll keep you informed on our progress in the coming updates. In the meantime, take a look at some of our first art pass on clothing designs!



ANIMALS🐮

Interstellar animals in Nebula have adapted to thrive in various environments, exhibiting intricate behaviors and relationships within their ecosystems and with your colonists. Some animals serve as valuable food sources, while others provide resources or can be tamed as pet companions. However, be cautious of species that may threaten your colony with direct aggression, venomous attacks, or by spreading disease, as well as those that may damage your infrastructure or consume valuable resources.

For example, the Solaris Tortoise is native to arid deserts. Their durable, heat-resistant shells are invaluable for crafting heat shields and protective gear for colonists. Also, their eggs and meat provide great trading opportunities or a nutritious meal for times of hunger!



UTILITY SYSTEMS🔧

In Nebula, managing your colony's utility systems is crucial for success. As you traverse the galaxy, you'll need to maintain a keen focus on various aspects, such as power generation, plumbing, oxygen supplies, and heating. Ensuring that your crew has access to clean water, breathable air, and stable living conditions without freezing to death in space is essential to keeping them healthy, efficient, and motivated. Carefully planning and upgrading your utility systems will help you adapt to new challenges and make the most of the opportunities you encounter in the vastness of space! You will be responsible for constructing and managing your pipe and wire networks, making sure each part of your Starship has access to the required utilities!

Stay tuned for upcoming updates with more in-depth information on utility systems. We're excited to share how these aspects will impact your gameplay and decisions as you explore and conquer the galaxy!

As always, we appreciate your support and enthusiasm, and we can't wait to hear your thoughts on the characters, animals, and utility systems we're developing! Your feedback is invaluable in helping us create an immersive, dynamic, and captivating experience for all of you!

Welcome to the 13th Early Access update of Monsters Loot Swag!

There are a whole range of tweaks and bugfixes in this update, most of them dealing with how audio works, after the big openAL change in the last update - which can be seen here!

Whilst fixing some artifact issues on the portraits of the Level 7 Boss, Zorra, also made a small change and gave her a smile. You never saw Zorro sulk, so why should she?


Before ... and after!

On to the changelog!

1. Updated to version 1.7.6.2.
   
2. Fix: Swag parcel audio track and audio emitter were using the same local variable on creation.
   
3. Fix: Single Audio Description of reference distance was higher than maximum distance.
   
4. Change: All Audio Reference Distance are now half of maximum distance to give better transitions when moving quickly left to right.
   
5. Change: Swag parcel audio emitters no longer delete after use, as I was still concerned that the Out Of Range Array warning might once again rear it's ugly head.
   
6. Fix: Removed artifacts on level 7 loading screens.
   
7. Change: Portraits of Zorra the Level 7 Boss now feature her with a smile.
   
8. Fix: Removed debug console spam for buying swag.

That's it for March 2023, which has predominantly been a month of audio fixes.
