Hey hey starchasers! How's your Saturday? Full of rain? That's thematically appropriate.
We're returning to our weekly patch schedule now that Gods & Corpses is out of the way. It'll be a bit before our next big update (which is a true doozy) is coming out, so for now you'll have to be content with these tiny crumb-sized updates, in the same way my cat is satisfied with sitting on dirty clothes whenever she gets the chance.


Again, this is a small patch but there's a lot of decent optimizations and fixes that I think you'll appreciate.

• Added a new option to control the size of the targeting reticule.
  
• The navmap will now display the owning region of a star system.

• Games saved on stations will show the current station’s location.
  
• Legendary ships that spawn beam stuff will now properly target nearby hostiles, not just the player.
  
• Ticker relays will now have green triangles on the long range scanner once their relevant questline begins.
  
• Adjusted projectile trajectory code to feel a little more natural.
  
• Huge improvements on performance in crowd-heavy areas on stations, due to many NPCs having their models reduced to single drawcalls.
  
• Adjusted lighting settings on some stations.
  
• Adjusted Darkon Entity’s ambient attacks to be a little bit more thematically consistent and not hit the player incorrectly.
  
• Dialogue cameras for almost all talkable-to characters now are properly oriented and translated.
  
• Optimized performance with the Darkon entity slightly.
  
• Updated several visuals in Reach for the Stars.
  
• Rebalanced some trade routes in Union systems to be less broken.

• Fixed some weird geometry for the news board on the Remaining Eye.
  
• Fixed camera issues with the Loco Star.
  
• Fixed some rifts that spawned outside of nebulas.
  
• Fixed issue where acquired customization items wouldn’t… acquire. These will need to be reacquired but thankfully, that’s allowed.
  
• Fixed some asteroids spawning inside lanelines.
  
• Fixed issue where some duplicate ships could be seen within inventory menus on stations.
  
• Resized many ship icons in the inventory to be more visible.
  
• Fixed issue where some missions would spawn hostile ships as non-hostile.
  
• Fixed issue where many achievements wouldn’t display or were doubling up.
  
• Fixed issue where multiple joined chapters couldn’t be accessed in the information UI.
  
• Fixed issue where mouse mapping wouldn’t work for some inputs.
  
• Fixed flickering lights in Planet Vauldric’s shipdealer.
  
• Fixed issue where ambient crowd settings would disable NPCs that weren’t meant to be disabled.
  
• Solar loot boxes now display the proper distance in the targeting UI.
  
• Looting single objects will now play the tractor beam effect.
  
• Fixed some texture issues in various stations.
  
• Many of the redone bosses now properly cease to exist after their defeats.
  
• Fixed issue where waypoints on stations could cause the map to disappear.
  
• Fixed some mislabeled instructions during the Ordnance Tomb quest.
  
• Fixed some rendering issues in Clearhome.
  
• Fixed a huge amount of typos everywhere.
  
• Fixed issue where the pin wouldn’t work in some star systems.
  
• Fixed item duplication issues when switching between ships.
  

And that's all for this week! See you next week.

I'm proud to announce the launch of Romanticized Dreams of a Post-Apocalyptic Cowpoke! Fight your way through five bandit strongholds across the new frontier. Try and rid The Town of Baron Von Bandit's army of dastardly villians! It'll be a difficult and treacherous journey but there is no need to worry, afterall failure is just a bad dream. Spend tokens in the town to unlock new items and weapons to discover in future runs, or just buy some new clothes from Madame Silk to show off your style while fighting bandits. Each playthrough brings its own unique challenges and opportunities, with a variety of bosses, enemies, weapons and items no two playthroughs will ever be the same!

Additionally I'm excited to present the excellent handcrafted soundtrack for Romanticized Dreams of a Post-Apocalyptic Cowpoke is now available to purchase. So make sure to check that out if you'd like to show your support to the talented King Aurorus Music.

Find out more information about the creator of the amazing sounds of the Post-Apocalyptic West here:

Over the next few weeks here my priority will mainly be forcused on bugfixing and balacing. Afterwards there are plans in place for free additional content, enemies, weapons, and bosses.

I would also like to say as a solo developer everyone who takes a chance on a small indie studio has my deepest gratitude. I'm looking forward to seeing what the future holds for Romanticized Dreams of a Post-Apocalyptic Cowpoke. Goodluck out there Cowpokes!

Sad day it is when the release date of a game has to be pushed back.

I know that some of you were waiting on the release of this title as I do watch to see the number of people wishlisting the game rise. Sadly, we are currently a one-person company so when real life happens to get in the way sometimes the release date happens to get pushed back. I know that right now it just says Q2 for the release date but we/I am hard at work on the game. I'm not going to rush it though, because I still want to deliver a game worth playing. I just hope you can be patient with us a bit longer as we work on this.

Arctic Eggs is now in Chinese thanks to user RamenLava! Also fellow gamedev KowloonsCurse on twitter finished up the Dutch Translation and now I just need to be implement it. Also currently the Polish translation is being worked on by my Polish girlfriend. That is all currently in the works at the moment, so let me know of any others you want next.

Here is a list of small fixes/additions in this latest update:

• Random mode has been added into sandbox. You can set your desired difficulty and just enjoy cooking indefinitely. I enjoy a difficulty of 5 or 6, this can create some very weird combination while still feeling fair.
  
• I spent a good while optimizing the bar area of the game. A few of you reported issues with freezing in this area, I can't replicate this unfortunately so it is a little hard for me to pinpoint the problem, but I did a lot of things to help improve performance so hopefully that fixed the issue.
  
• Added an Invert Y option

My hardware distribution request was approved, so soon the game should be steam deck certified! Thank you for your continued support, I really appreciate it and I will keep working at improving the egg flipping experience!

Cosmantic Cluster's demo has been updated to reflect the full game visually and gameplay wise.

Before
The demo was originally made using an old build of the game as a template and mainly used to bug test and gather feedback from play testers. Lots of gameplay and visuals have since then changed in the full game. The demo featured the first 5 levels of route 1 and a limited 2p vs mode with a handful of characters and stages.

After
-Lots of UI elements have been updated such as text bubbles, super gauge, Ui buttons etc.

-Main menu now reflects the one in the full game. With more options and button layouts available and other quality of life improvements.

-The tip diary and quick tutorials up to purple orbs are available.

-Lots of tweaks to the gameplay that make it more in line to the full game.

-Easy mode and hard mode changes.

-The credits are viewable from the main menu.

If you have been on the fence about getting the full game, give the improved demo I try!
Story progress will not carry over though.

As usual if you encounter any bugs ether in the demo or the full game please let us know! You can reach out to us on Steam or through our Discord!
