Hello, brave renovators ready to make haunted places livable houses!

Ghastly presences aside, your job as a renovator is well... to renovate. When ghosts are taken care of, there is much more down-to-earth stuff to do. Fixing things is your main concern, and you must fix them well!

But how does the fixing process look? Below you will find two examples of common renovating tasks, which allow you to get an idea of how fixing stuff will look in-game.


You can shop for new furniture if you want to bring some changes around, but fixing old ones is an affordable option - and it keeps the atmosphere of the location as it was before the paranormal took over!



You will also have to repair some of the surfaces, for instance the damaged floors. You can expect a lot of such fixes to be done, as the state of flooring may be awful. After all, those houses stood empty sometimes for decades. No one walked these halls except ghosts and such intangible apparitions are not bothered by the floors being unwalkable to mortals!



Please remember that the presented animations may be subject to change, as we are hard at work to make fixing everything around fun and good-looking!

What's New:

- 🎭 Balancer
- Base Health: 1800
- Base Bomb Damage: 600
- Base Melee Damage: 30
- 🎯 Damager
- Base Health: 1530
- Base Bomb Damage: 750
- Base Melee Damage: 36
- 👑 Tank
- Base Health: 2070
- Base Bomb Damage: 450
- Base Melee Damage: 39

Base Stats Scaling:
- Common: 100%, Rare: 110%, Epic: 120%, Legendary: 130%, Mythic: 145%, Hyper: 185%

You can read the full patch notes and balance changes here.

Good morning folks, as many of you will have noticed (and as the mods made sure to post about) there was an issue with the update that went live on Thursday evening (version 1.2.15) that caused some players to lose any progress they had made while playing on that version.
We reverted the live game version back to 1.2.11, however if you played and saved in version 1.2.15 you will receive a warning when trying to continue from that save that the save data is too new (screenshot attached below). It asks if you are sure you want to load it- We recommend that you do not load that save, but instead load one from 1.2.11 or earlier or waiting until we fix the problem in 1.2.15.



ID: Image shows a pop-up window that reads "Save Data Too New. You're trying to load save data from a newer version of the game (1.2.15). Some feature may not work as expected and progress may be lost. Are you sure you want to load it?" with options to either Load or Cancel.

• The crew level-up notification during the return trip to the station will trigger earlier in the cutscene, so it won't be cut short by changing the stage to Enceladus station.
  
• When changing from a ship with a consumable (nanodrones, kinetic ammunition) installed back to one without it, the number of consumables displayed on the launch dive screen would not update to zero, showing phantom cargo.
  
• Habitats that change locations will now tell you this only once, even if you un-dock and re-dock again during the same encounter. Previously, re-docking could invalidate the coordinates of another habitat if it happened to be less than 50 km away from you.
  
• Particle effects that are currently not visible will not play now, improving performance. This also prevents some particle effects from playing partway through and out-of-sequence if you move your camera rapidly.
  
• Fixed stone jet particle effects that will again be ejected from asteroids hit with high-powered kinetic impacts.
  
• Audio effects for adrenaline surge and the UI beeps will now respect the "SFX volume" slider setting.
  
• Setting shadow levels to low, but not zero, setting previously could flood the game logs with warnings. Now, a proper minimum value will be enforced for all the lights.
  
• The HAL9000 HUD OMS display could overflow the physical monitor it was on when you installed thrusters with long names on certain ships. Now, it will cut off too-long thruster labels instead.
  
• Kistune will not advertise that it uses a K37 reactor anymore.
  
• Fixed a graphical glitch that caused a powered-down Kitsune to be displayed with a green square all over it on OSX M1 systems. This mostly affected the Fleet and Dealer views.
  
• Updated translations.

What's New in 1.0.2
- updated framework to latest Ren'Py version
- fixed an issue that was showing sexy / nude option in gallery for the endings that had no such variant (the only one who has it is the harem ending)
