Game Progress Update: Intro and Tutorial testing!

We have gotten a few test players' feedback on the starting area and first puzzle, and have learned we need to introduce the mechanics a bit better at the beginning. While addressing this, we're kicking off towards writing the first of three acts that you'll go through while traversing this sad and struggling kingdom!

Overall, game dev is a very new venture for us in a medium we're not accustomed to, so while it's going slower than we hoped we feel we're adapting well all things considered.

UPDATE v0.0.9
Hey everyone, just a quick note to let you know that we've fixed all the problems with the Workshop; therefore, you can now post, browse, and download levels.

We are going to leave the demo online even after the Steam Next Fest so that everyone who downloaded it can have a shot at creating the best levels they can, even for the weeks to come.

2 new raids / campaign sections added:

Starship Datadrive - 4000+ Combat Power - Rewards 6 Weapon Components on first completion.

Second raid added:

Simulation Shenanigans - 5000+ Combat Power - Rewards 6 Support Components on first completion.

I won't spoil these. Have music enabled when starting Simulation Shenanigans for optimal fun.

Missions screen optimized to only spawn when viewed instead of being always spwned in and inactive.

Engine updated to apply a critical security fix.

Added input validation to the crafting system so that it more accurately reflects what will be crafted before hitting craft.

Thanks for your bug reports! :D

Save-breaking update.

Should now prompt you to delete old saves.

I changed the data structures quite a bit for the old quest and dialogue history systems. I can't promise I won't break saves a year from now, but for next few months at least, I'll try to make version porting scripts for old saves now that I've done some work to prepare the most troublesome systems for eventual updating. Here's a list of added features. (I'll add more to this list in a day or so when I have time to comb through all my unreleased updates chagelogs.) :

Added more content to the Greenhouse.
The Zee fight has been redesigned.

• Endless loading screen & white main menu screen fixed

• First person camera spectating bug fixed

• X-Air renamed in multiplayer menu
