Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Enjoy 20% off Crypterion! Astra is hungry for what's cooking, but the next update needs a little more time in the oven. *SPOILER WARNING

The next update is similar to the "Crew Encounter" system, but with a different approach to bring stories moments where the focus is on you. It's called "Opportunities". You can randomly happen upon them and just as easily miss them. But since I'm nice, I give you clues to their location and how to make them successful in the time room.

If you come to a party uninvited without a bag of chips or soda, you might not just get in.

I'm making these updates as fun as I can. I hope you will enjoy them. What if you happen upon the "Rimshot aptitude test?" You better be ready!

This update is super tricky to test, because the player could just run into them at any time with all the other game mechanics in play!

A new set of NPC avatars will also be joining to liven up these story events.

As I continue to update and improve the game, hopefully I've earned your wishlist, then go check out the previous update which takes a look at what "achievements" you can get.: https://steamoss.com/steamstore/news/app/1048860/view/4165346503354104008



For those playing the full game from the demo. Navigate to the save location of the demo. It would be: c:/users/[your user name]/AppData/Local/Crypterion_Demo (also shown in the image)

Copy the save game file there, and place it inside the Crypterion folder. Basically, the same "local" location. If you don't see that folder, starting a game in the full version and traveling to your first planet should create it with it's own saved game.

I've teamed up with indie.io, formally Freedom Games, to support my game through it's final stretch. They are a passionate group of individuals that want to help me succeed. I've also wanted to bring this experience to more players and I felt Indie.io could do that.

Now I can focus on making the last updates before release, bigger and better!
