Dare to travel the absurd and dangerous Orion Trail, where only the luckiest, bravest, and most stubborn captains will make it all the way to the end. Become famously incredible or incredibly dead in this single player choose-your-own-space-adventure!
Well, hello there space fans. Dave here with an update for y’all.
First off, we’ve (finally) added Steam Trading Cards! You can now collect all six cards, featuring Warp Weasels and the famed captain Ego Blondsmann. Also Tad.
Collect them all, and you’ll earn backgrounds that feature gorgeous Away Mission art, and some nifty little emoticons to use your chatting heart’s desire.
Next up, we’ve reduced the base price of Orion Trail to $7.99! Sweet space savings!
Finally, we’ve also updated the game to Unity 5.4 to make it easier to support the game in the future. In addition to the engine upgrade, we’ve staged a new update that fixes a lot of bugs and grammar bads.
This update also adds a pretty neat (and long time coming) feature: mid-mission saving! Halfway through the Long Haul and need to take a break? Quit and save! Warp Weasels warped into your fridge? Save and quit! Unexpected software update restart your machine? Your game is probably saved! The future has truly arrived.
We still need to spend some more time QAing both the content fixes and the mid-mission saving (which has a host of weird edge cases), but we’re confident enough that we wanted to release a public beta of it. To opt in to the beta, do the following:
[olist]
[*]Find Orion Trail in your Steam Library.
[*]Right click and select “Properties.”
[*]Navigate to the “BETAS” tab.
[*]Enter the following password: [b]oriontrailblazer[/b]
[*]Click “Check Code.”
[*]You now have access to the Beta Branch! You might need to restart Steam to make sure the game updates.

Keep on space trippin’, folks.
