isn't it really weird when Steam downloads an update for a game, so you go to view the news, but there's nothing there?

that always drives me a little bit crazy.

(I would never do that to you. I love you too much.)

Mysterious Space 0.9.3 has been released! this is a very "miscellaneous" release, with a variety of unrelated tweaks and changes, and, of course, a few bug fixes!

• the full changelog can be found here: https://mysteriousspace.com/changelog/0-9-x/
• a list of outstanding issues is here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1qYQTPi98z37dyb17OeRebql1gZgvIvQBm5_ji4o4ECI/edit?usp=sharing
• and the Mysterious Space Kickstarter (that's related, right?) is here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/benmakesgames/mysterious-space you may note it's not going so well :P I'm still e-mailing blogs and review sites daily (notes on that are also in that Google spreadhseet); maybe something cool will come out of that. we'll see!

if I had to pick a few of the most-exciting changes for 0.9.3 it would beeee… hm…

• the title screen has a planet on it, and the menu items curve around it. for extra fanciness.
• various tweaks to how lightning works, mechanically. also: lightning now actually looks like lightning, instead of just white lines >_> I also changed the Overcharged Shield blessing to zap things with lightning, because more lightning = more better :P
• Alien Teleporters now have an alternate mode, which allow you to teleport a short distance in the direction of your choice. both modes can now also be used by orbitals in co-op!
• the blessing/curse effects for RNG blasters - "something good happens" and "something bad happens" - have been made available to other parts of the code. there's a new accessory - the Deck of Many Things - which you can use to try your luck at good and bad things, and the Alien Artifact which used to clear bad status effects now makes "something good happen", instead. because just clearing bad status effects was rarely worth holding on to.

thanks for reading, and thanks for playing Mysterious Space! :)
