It's been a while since my last post. The break helped me realize how much commitment and time this game requires. Today the reality is that I am not able to give UU as much as I would like. I have a plan to change this because I really love working on this game, but implementing that plan requires patience and consistency in action.

This doesn't mean that this break will last longer - I don't want this break anymore. I want us to play, because that's what this game is for.

Changes

Version 1.2.0, 1.2.1 & 1.2.2

- a new Network Transport has been introduced (probably the most effective one in Unity). Honestly, I can't wait to see how it works on a wider scale. My tests were successful, but still very limited, so I ask everyone to report immediately if something is wrong (best way on discord).

- added a marker ensuring visibility of all squad members in star system regardless of their distance. I think this will be especially useful when there are a lot of light class ships in the squad. Now you don't have to click on each member individually to determine their position - you see markers and know which way to go.

- added a limit on the number of players from given faction in each star system. This has no impact on gameplay at the moment, but will be very useful over time. It's known that large battles can cause lags. This thing will be a safety valve in case any of star systems become overloaded.

- new bar with game-related links has been added to the login page.

- removed Target Lock toggle - I decided that in its current form it is useless. I need to find more practical use for it.

- fixed bug "black screen of death" during ftl jumps (version 1.2.2).

Support the project

I created a Ko-Fi account for UU. There are many needs. First of all, a good, efficient server and providing professional technical support. There are also many other things this game may need in the future - useful assets, marketing, steam... It will be some additional motivation for me. So if you would like to support - UU thanks and bows politely. I have prepared a little surprise for you :)

Download & Install

First you need to uninstall and remove the old version - it will no longer work. The new version is already available on the main page. As before, there are two installers - EXE and ZIP, so choose what suits you better. Updates will come automatically.

If there is a quarantine again – I think it will be removed faster than last time.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask them here or on Discord.

Until next time
