Hello again explorers! 👋
Wow! It’s been a while since the last update, and although I said I wouldn’t update until launch day, I couldn’t help but hear your comments in the community, videos, etc…
The jump to version 0.7 comes following a major refactoring to handle controllers – yes, controllers in an idle/clicker game. From now on, you’ll be able to play using your controller; for the time being, only Xbox controllers and similar devices should work, but I’ll be adding more compatibility options later on.
Translations into many more languages (I’ll be preparing more translations for the final release).
New statistics have been added to track your performance in earning crystals; certain stats still need refining ahead of the final release. Lunar drops now retain their status between games – a known bug that should now be fixed.
