Fiddling around with Blender after the Early Access was done today :)
That drone makes the interdiction dialogue a bit more believable at the Junkyard. Didn't make it into EA1 though...

Hi, this is the release notes post for V0.6.
Main New Features
Hi,
while doing the playthrough I noticed that Khelara, though being fine in the more dimly lit cutscenes, came across as way too pale in the side images, especially in dialogue with Nimhe and T'Ri...

Hi,
testing BETA3 is going along nicely. I took my time (80% through) and introduced smaller changes along the way.
Hi,
after some mission system code hiccups in the first version the current beta 3 is running nicely. I am in the middle of a full play through to catch all issues and introduced a bunch of QoL items along the way that hopefully improve the experience.
Hi,
today the BETA started almost on time. If no major issues come up, VIP Early Access will be on 18.05.
During the next four days I refine some dialogue and slot in one more render (which is a placeholder in the beta now). Release plan looks good.

Hi,
this is really the last render for V0.6. I found a separate Pirate base exit screen would be nice.
Also today I did as a last fix the multiverse pod storage, which cause issues for some MAC users because I lazily just saved the data in the game binary folder (bad practice on all O...

Hi,

With that, the code is essentially complete. Tomorrow I'll do some minor renders (clickable poster(s)...) and dialogue and then on 13th I'll do a playthrough.

Hi,
today I finished the second to last new quest featuring around Nimhe (a quite heavy one, code and story wise).
Won't tell too much for spoilers but in the course I noticed that I "misplaced" one asset I needed, namely the Flyboy Magazine. So I made a new one. From the second pictu...

Hi,
today I did the renders for one new quest. I don't want to post any spoilers, so I can just say it involves an abandoned research station where you are able to gain a unique bot shell from a military experiment gone wrong... (only the box as teaser in banner above)

Hi,
here is a variation of the Space Patrol Render.
A bit far into hard-body territory, but we are talking about Space Marines after all:)
Somehow reminds me of Cammy.
