v0.2.15 - Lateral Translation Thruster Torque Fix

Change Log

• Fixed phantom torque on lateral translation thrusters.

v0.2.14 - Fixed Invisible Bug

Change Log

• Fixed a null reference exception (that has zero impact to the user) triggered by moving axis response sliders when no axis is assigned to the control.

Post-Update Security Patch

• Rebuilt the game to fix a Unity security exploit.

v0.2.13 - Stranding Detection Bug Fix

Change Log

• Disabling both Command Module RCS blocks now gives a game over screen.

v0.2.12 - Bug Fixes and Demo Update

Changes to Demo

• Adjusted the planets featured in the demo to force the use of the upgrade system.

Change Log

• Removed the old restriction preventing portrait layout from being used in-game.
• Audio and chunk size settings are now properly saved and loaded. You will need to re-adjust these settings for them to take effect.
• Changed the minimum selectable screen resolution to 1024 x 768.

v0.2.11 - Settings and Controls Update

Changes to the Demo

• The changes made to the game warrant an update to the free demo version.
• The demo version now uses the same Progression system as the full version, but with only 3 levels.
• As a result of using the full version's Progression system, you may now play with it's upgrade systems.

Changes

• The base resolution of the UI has been increased from 800 x 600 to 1024 x 768.
• In-game settings have been moved away from Unity's PlayerPrefs and into an INI file.
• The game will convert your PlayerPref settings to the new system, preserving all of your settings.
• The game will now save the resolution that you have selected in addition to the resolution index.
• The game will change the resolution to the one that is (theoretically) the closest to the specified resolution.
• Button and axis controls have been separated.
• The game now better handles differences in how Unity reports analog control positions.
• Assigning a key, button, or axis to a control will erase all duplicate assignments.
• In-game axis assignment instructions have been clarified.

Additions

• The Increase FoV and Decrease FoV controls are now fully-functional, changing the FoV of the skybox camera in 1° increments.
• There is now an axis assignment table below the key/button assignment table.
• The axis assignment table has a button for primary and secondary axis assignments.
• The axis assignment table has a feedback area showing the raw value of the control (increasing values always go from left to right, not to be confused with how the craft will respond to your inputs).
• There is now a camera zoom axis to replace the old zoom behavior. You can now, for example, have the zoom accelerate and decelerate.

Bug Fixes

• The Field of View setting can now be changed through the settings screen.
• The maximum camera zoom is now able to zoom out to show the entire planet on less than half the screen.
• The maximum camera zoom calculation now properly takes into account whether the screen is in portrait mode.
• The player control system now gets initialized with the correct time acceleration value.

v0.2.10 - Cursor Size Fix

Change Log

• The cursor size should now be the same across all platforms that Solar Lander is available on.

v0.2.9 - Progression Save Fixes

Change Log

• Fixed a bug where progression wouldn't save if there was a save file already present.
• Fixed a bug where the save button wasn't greyed-out after landing.
• Save files are no longer auto-deleted upon loading the game.

v0.2.8 - Bug Fix

Change Log

• Patched-in a workaround for the input handler not fetching the planet's radius at the beginning of a level, which caused the new zoom-out feature to not work properly.

v0.2.7 - Update SteamAPI Version plus Bug Fixes

Change Log

• Updated Steamworks.NET version.
• Fixed potential issue initializing the SteamAPI.
• Fixed potential issue of running SteamAPI callbacks twice per frame (only supposed to be once per frame).

v0.2.6 - Fixing Some Mistakes

Change Log

• The maximum zoom level is now based on the planet's diameter instead of the planet's radius.
• Queue boxes will now render on top of everything except for UI elements.

v0.2.5 - Convenience Tweaks

Change Log

• Added a queue box around the command module that appears if sufficiently zoomed-out.
• The camera will now be able to zoom out to see the entire planet.
• Settings can now be adjusted from the escape menu.

v0.2.4 - Cosmetic Tweaks

Change Log

• Added Solar Lander logo to splash sequence
• Added Solar Lander logo to main menu header
• Added exhaust particle texture from pre-0.2 builds
• Added old sprite exhaust texture to game (not usable).

v0.2.3 - Progression Saving/Loading

 Additions

• Progression Mode progress can now be saved starting after you begin the second level.
  • Once a new level has been started, hit escape and click "Save" to save the game.
  • To load a save, start a new Progression Mode game, hit escape and click "Load".

Limitations

• Once you load a saved game, the save file is deleted. You can work around this by simply saving again.
• Once you score points from landing, you will be unable to save until you start the next level.
• Terrain generation data is not saved.
• Progress within a level is not saved.
• If save file corruption is detected, the game will immediately end and the save file will be deleted.

v0.2.2 - Unresponsive Controls Fix

Change Log

• Fixed bug introduced in v0.2.1 that caused axis controls to be unresponsive.
• Using time acceleration now disables axis controls.

v0.2.1 - Upgrade Balance Tweaks

Change Log

• Added game version number to main menu (0.2.x is the Physics Update).
• Undocking will now fire retrograde thrusters for just two seconds instead of indefinitely.
• Adjusted fuel and thrust upgrades to be roughly linear in terms of how much extra fuel and thrust you get with each upgrade. Cost increase is unchanged.
• Adjusted min throttle and ISP upgrades to "max-out" relatively quickly.

v0.2.0 - The Physics Update

Changes

• Superstructures are now treated as a single body, greatly improving the physics (and controllability) of the lander, especially around large planets.
• Axis assignments are now done in-game instead of in a dialog box that comes up before the game starts.
• Staging before landing in Progression now resets the current level instead of skipping to the next level.
• Free Roam now gives you a lot more freedom to play around with.
• Upgrades Screen gives you more information about your ships capabilities vs what is needed to complete the level (and how much each individual upgrade will contribute).
• Terrain generation is now based off of this YouTube video, making it look more natural.
• Fuel indicators have been made to look more like the rest of the HUD.
• The trail renderer has been replaced with a display of what your orbit looks like (disappears when on ejection orbit).
• Terrain colliders are generated in chunks to improve performance (adjustable in settings).
• Made some adjustments to the game over, pause, credits, and help screens.

Additions

• Added the ability to adjust input response in the settings screen.
• Buttons on some controls can be made to gradually go from full-off to full-on.
• Added leaderboards for highest landing score and highest docking score.

Bug Fixes

• (Hopefully) Fixed a bug that would sometimes cause steam stats to not get saved properly.
• Fixed a bug where the engines and RCS thrusters would produce more thrust than they should be capable of.
