Key Feature: Day/Night Cycle Overhaul
The long-awaited day/night cycle has been fully integrated into NEO: The Game, bringing a dynamic and immersive experience to your planets. The new system now includes:
- A virtual sun that orbits around the sector to simulate a real day and night transition on each planet.
- Improved lighting effects that enhance the atmosphere, with a directional light system that dynamically changes based on the time of day.
- Planetary damage mechanics based on proximity to the sun, adding strategic depth as players manage resources and environment.
- Visual improvements that tie in with the sun’s movement and the shifting sky.
New Features & Enhancements:
- Building System Rework:
- A complete rework of the building system now provides a cleaner placement logic and smoother interaction, fixing previous issues related to the building rotation and alignment with roads.
- Building foundations have been updated to allow a smoother transition between different eras (Medieval, Modern, and Futuristic), with improved material handling and the introduction of nanite-based foundations.
- Advanced Research & Resources:
- A significant overhaul in the research system: New dependencies have been added, and resources like Water are now correctly linked to their corresponding technologies.
- The resource discovery mechanism has been updated to enhance the player experience during exploration and progression.
- Units & AI Improvements:
- Units now spawn more reliably via the Unit Maker, with bugs related to AI spawning on planets being fixed.
- Major improvements were made to the behavior of AI, ensuring a more realistic and engaging experience.
- Stargate & Space Travel Enhancements:
- Fixed various issues with the Stargate feature, including bugs that prevented it from opening or listing correctly.
- Space travel commands have been refined, preventing ships from moving out of bounds or in the wrong direction, ensuring more intuitive control over fleet movements.
Bug Fixes & Optimizations:
- Day/Night Cycle Fixes:
- Issues related to the day/night logic were addressed, ensuring smoother transitions and better synchronization between visual effects and game mechanics.
- UI & Interaction:
- Fixed various UI bugs, including the issue of the cursor being locked while in certain menus, and a bug that prevented the correct display of resources in some scenarios.
- Planetary & Visual Fixes:
- A visual glitch on MacOS has been resolved by temporarily disabling Computed Shaders, improving performance and stability on affected systems.
- Fixed errors with the planet’s visual display, including some glitches in rendering and the planetary atmosphere bug.
- Ship & Sector Improvements:
- The ship movement system has been fine-tuned to ensure smoother transitions, especially when orders are given to ships already within sector boundaries.
- Enhanced the sector map waypoint system, fixing issues where ships or commands pointed in the wrong direction.
- Miscellaneous Fixes:
- Fixed several smaller bugs such as spaceship scanner not functioning, animal/villager/monster limitbeing incorrectly counted, and issues with building costs and road attachments.
Global Changelog:
- Fixed unlocking resource by name.
- Fixed medieval research progress and added mesh colliders for field harvest.
- Corrected ship orders, now preventing movement out of sector bounds.
- Networking improvements for smoother online play.
- Enhanced interest management to better handle distant entities.
