Ahoy captains! We are back with a new playtest build full of additions and fixes to the game. These are:
[b]New stuff:[/b]
Reactive vibes! The text describing what happens aboard the ship are now much more tailored to the crew and can also affect the game. This makes the crew come much more alive.
New shop UI that makes it easy to buy more more than one item at a time and just looks a lot better
Updated main menu UI
When visiting a port you can now decide if it should be the return target for the Lode Anchor
Tutorial has been streamlined so you first learn about assigning duties after reaching the first harbour
Renderscale setting in options menu to help with performance on lower end graphics cards and at high resolutions. Could be beneficial for playing on a Steamdeck as well to help out with battery life
The traits you create your captain with has been rewritten to fit better with the world building
Ambition trait. When creating your captain you also have to decide why they are seeking The Great Rift
Various visual improvements
You now start with fever provisions
More balancing
Better way of selecting resolutions in options menu (thanks for reporting it @LuxiePotato)
