  Pushing a 1.4.4 release today-- I accidentally pushed a couple updates without the fixes in place, so if you saw the game update a couple times already please hang tight, the "real" 1.4.4 should be coming soon. Fixed in this version: Doctors work You can do quests that tell you to visit the Merchant's Guid (choose "Catalog", for some reason... catalogs themselves are disabled) Other things I can't...

  Here's a new tutorial video showing how to fly around planets. Might work as a nice little unscripted gameplay-o-dio-dio if you were curious about the game. I'll be making more of these as time goes on to show different mechanics. Continue reading

  
• Fixed: Vaccines, Dialog Traps, Aspect Ratio

  I've been picking away at this fixing things and then pushing updates; before I launched I made sure I had a "press one button to update the release" thing and it's been really great. It's so easy for me to fix something and then get it up on itch.io reliably, now! The itch.io butler tool is really a key part of this flow. Recent fixes: Some aspect ratio stuff. In general there is a lot of hardcod... Continue reading

  
• CommLink bug fixed

  Just a quick update here! There was a really bad bug where if you had CommLink open and you entered a building, or vice-versa, one or the other would become unusable and you'd have to exit the game.

Aspect ratio is also now mostly... Continue reading

  #opengl

  The fun thing about VtV for me is: No pressure; I'm already happy to have just gotten it out there Kind of a crazy canvas to mess around with There are a lot of things I can do to mess around with VtV but they all sort of depend on updating the render engine. It's written in OpenGL 1.2 direct mode (with rather heavy use of display lists) which looks like this: First thing you should know: this is... Continue reading

  
• Veture teh Vod - Starting to Fixing Things

  Just a quick bump here as to what I'm doing. When I set up VtV to release on itch I made it so I can easily push updates and fixes, and I even intentionally left some really obvious bugs so I could have an easy way to exercise that. Last night I pushed a fix to the aspect ratio, it was locked at 4/3 which means if you aren't on a VGA CRT (what I created the game on originally-- it's really that ol... Continue reading
