To our dearest Astra Garden's crew members:

We know that our game is a little bit frustrating because of the high difficulty and lack of information about the mechanics. To solve this problem, we have some plans for the future. And we are happy to announce that the first step to make the game more enjoyable is here! We have updated the game to its 1.2 version. This new version provide some bug-fixes and some adjustments to the current content. And we included something else we wanted to add during the Level Up Game Jam 2023 but we didn't because we ran out of time. See the details below if you want to know more about this update:

New content

• Emergency lights. When the fuses are down, emergency lights are up!
• More options to the pause menu. You can customize some camera settings (sensitivity & FOV) now.

Adjustments

• Plants grow fruits faster when dehydrated (but the growing speed is still slower than when hydrated)
• Plants get dehydrated more slowly. From 1.35 to 1.25. You have more time to water them!
• Plants stats UI got 10% smaller (small change)
• Decreased water provided from the water plants from 3 to 1.5.
• Decreased energy provided by the energy plants from 2.25 to 1.
• Decreased passive oxygen provided by the oxygen plants from 1.1 to 0.5
• Fruit growing speed from plants decreased from 4 to 3.5
• Default audio volume is now at 80%.
• Small refactors to code (you will not notice this but this will boost the development process)

Bug-fixes

• Going back to the menu after completing the game or dying will no longer make your cursor being locked. You can use the menu again!
• The Oxygen display UI is no longer visible during the cutscene
• Entering the cutscene is now something more discreet. Camera doesn't move outside the map now.
• Oxygen continue decreasing during and after the blackout.
