(Obsolete, will be deleted soon) [GAME LAUNCH] What's new in the v1.1.0 of Asteroid: Changelog

v1.1.0 (2022)

OFFICIAL LAUNCH OF THE GAME: from this patch the game will be fully released from the Early Access phase, and will be available for everyone. Planets and many other features and mechanics will be added gradually over the course of the year with free updates and DLCs.

Season 1: "The Burning Planet: Vuur" kicks off in 2022!

- Asteroid is now available for Windows, MacOS and Linux (64-bit) devices!*

New features added

- Planet Vuur is finally fully explorable. This is the first planet ever completed.

Test yourself in the battle against the boss of the glowing planet and free Vuur from hostilities with the first story arc in history!

- Added support for the following language: English. PLEASE NOTE: Asteroid is a game developed entirely in Italian. The English version may be released shortly after the Italian version for each update.

- Added main menu. From this menu you will be able to see the game credits and manage settings, such as the control system (mouse and keyboard, controller or touch screen), language and other options such as mono or stereo audio.

You will also be able to delete your save data to start a new game.  PLEASE NOTE: This will result in the deletion of your save data on the device, but you will still be able to continue using the same data using an Alestore KeySave code, so be sure to create one before deleting the save data.

- Added support for controllers. Now you can play Asteroid using your favorite PS4, XBOX or NINTENDO SWITCH controller!

- Added support for the touch screen. You can now play Asteroid using your Android or Windows device by enabling the touch screen from the options in the main menu. PLEASE NOTE: This is still an experimental feature. The commands are not final and will certainly be modified in the future.

- Added an initial tutorial which will be shown at the start of the game.

- Daily log-in bonus added! Log into the game at least once a day to get completely free rewards like materials, Flact, spaceship skins, and more! Rewards will be adjusted in the future based on seasonal events.

- Added inventory in the menu accessible by pressing the space bar.

In it it will be possible to keep materials and useful resources found during the course of one's adventure.

In a future update, these items will be used to build more powerful weapons or to upgrade your ship.

It will also be possible to exchange Flact (one of the game currencies) for materials thanks to the numerous NPCs that will roam the planets. Beware though, some sellers only appear at a certain time, so hurry up and don't miss any opportunities!

- Added the free Alestore Cloud KeySave service.

This service will allow you to use the same save data on one device and play it back on another.

The service has been specially designed to transfer save data between game updates, in order to always keep the progress made.

- Added the "Extended Menu" section in the menu accessible by pressing the spacebar.

This has been placed where the button to close the menu used to be, which has now been moved to the top right.

In this section, new buttons will appear such as the "Help" button, where you can see the game controls, the "News" button, which has been replaced by the "Shop" button in the regular menu, the "Pass Battle" button and other features that will be added in future game updates.

- Added "Heavenly Code" function. This feature will allow players to enter promotional codes to receive in-game rewards such as materials and more. Visit the official website often and check the Asteroid related itch.io page regularly, as some news articles may contain secret codes!

Performance improvements

- Landscape mode: ON! The game resolution goes from 4:3 to 16:9, so you can now play in full screen** on your devices!

- The 60 FPS optimized engine change has been made effective. The game is now much smoother. In the event that your device does not support the new engine, in the future it will be possible to change the frame rate from the game settings, so that it can support more obsolete devices. Alternatively, we advise you to wait before downloading the new versions of the game, since all future patches will take advantage of the new game engine at 60 fps.

- Minor bugs fixed.

* In the future, Asteroid will also be available for iOS devices and Steam. We are also working on an Android version on the Google Play Store.

** 4:3 resolution is no longer supported. We will let you know in the future if it will be supported again.
