So, quite a lot has happened. I ended up with a computer rebuild that borked things, then in a move, and now there's a Unity issue to talk about. So, let's talk about all of it. Where's Arynnia? Long story short, my ability to release new…
ArynniaPlease excuse the cover images - the 0.11 Milestone Program is still a thing, nothing's changing with that, though I might be looking to add another member or two. Stay tuned. So, it's been a hot minute since some news has come out on Idle…
ArynniaI've noticed that, as the releases for ISN have grown, so have the early bugs. I don't always catch every single bug that crops up in the code, so I've decided it's time to open up a testing program for Idle Space Navy releases. The…
ArynniaJuly 6, 2024 (at least in the time zone I'm writing this post). Today is the 588th day since I've set off on the journey that has been Idle Space Navy. There was the disorganized fun of the pre-Steam period, the reality check of the Steam…
ArynniaTurns out one of the fixes for visual weirdness caused Manage Items to stop working correctly. That's now fixed.
Patch notesOne more round of bugfixes. Pretty soon, there will be a studio update on plans for ISN 0.11 on the Phoenix Aura website, so stay tuned. For now, here's what's changed in Idle Space Navy 0.10.7: New Feature Added a small catch-up CC bonus…
Patch notesAnother day, another batch of bugs zapped - but this one is a new version because of a small catch-up bonus on Artifact collection as well! On a related note, all players from pre-0.10.6 are receiving 2500 Calibration Chips as a bonus.…
Patch notesAfter some more bug reports (thanks so much, community - you're awesome) I have another bugfix release for Idle Space Navy! Here's what's patched: Fixed an issue preventing Artifact collection. Fixed some bugs in the Deployment Center.…
Patch notesDue to an exploit in 0.10.3, I have released 0.10.4 to patch things up. I also hopefully fixed a bug in the Deployment Center. Have fun!
Patch notesThere was a minor hiccup in automates for saves made in 0.09.x - this has now been corrected and those saves should load.
Patch notesThe community found another save hiccup. All your old saves are good, but everything should now work in 0.10.3. A few visual bugs were zapped as well.
Patch notesBug Fixes Fixed a bug where ships could not be placed after Calibration or Collection. Fixed MORE bugs in Automates. Hopefully fixed a bug not allowing multiple deployments per game session. Fixed a bug with the Lab UI not updating…
Patch notesThanks to the wonderful communities on Steam and Discord, we have another batch of bug fixes and a couple new features! Here's what's new in version 0.10.2 of Idle Space Navy: New Features Added an option to disable the Offline Progress…
Patch notesThanks to the wonderful viewers of the 0.10.0 Launch Party, we quickly chased down some bugs. Here's what got fixed! Fixed Lab warning always being on at start. Fixed oops in Daily Reward display. Fixed bug in Foundry not allowing Scrap…
Patch notesIdle Space Navy 0.10.0 is live, and comes out with a whole host of improvements! For more details, check out Devnote XXXVII on Phoenix Aura (with screenshots) or on Steam! A full changelog will be posted tomorrow morning.
ArynniaTo view this Devnote with screenshots, check it out on the Phoenix Aura website. Good news: I'm not dead! The long story short is that I'd been fighting a persistent stomach ailment ever since the release of Idle Space Navy 0.09.5, and that…
ArynniaGreetings, Commanders! There's been precious little news since Devnote XXXV kicking off 0.10's development, and there's been a major reason for this: My vertigo from 2021-22 has recurred, and at the same time as I'm suffering from an as yet…
ArynniaSo, it’s been a bit longer of a release cycle than I planned - a moderate illness followed by the loss of my sister derailed my energy - but now that I’ve recovered, I’m pleased to announce that the development of the 0.10 sequence has…
ArynniaI'd made a bit of a hiccup fixing some stuff in 0.09.4 - here's a fix for that hiccup and a few others, as well as an engine upgrade! We've gone from Unity 2021.3 LTS (which is in its final months of support) to Unity 2022.3 LTS (which will…
Patch notesWe've made a few more bug fixes and performance/QoL improvements to ISN - here's what's new! SYSTEM UPDATES Modules are now limited to a maximum of 240 for performance reasons. Any modules over 240 have been destroyed and converted into…
Patch notesThe zapping of early bugs continues! Here's what's newly fixed in 0.09.3: Fixed a bug in math for numbers over e308. Fixed a bug with ships that are too large being placed over the edge of the map. Fixed minor UI bugs in certain Artifact…
Patch notesReception of ISN 0.09 has been good - we've found some more Day One bugs, though. This update zaps what's been found. Here's what's been fixed: Fixed a bug in save time checking. Fixed a conflict between Lab item preservation and the new…
Patch notesA few UI bugs were found that needed a quick fix. Idle Space Navy 0.09.1 fixes the following: Fixed a UI bug preventing Calibration. Fixed a UI bug in the Codex. Fixed a UI bug with Artifact upgrades. Fixed a UI bug with Shipyard upgrade…
Patch notesThe amount of feedback on Idle Space Navy since the Steam release in 0.07.4 has been astounding. Much of it has been about the user interface and the game's learning curve. Now, however, Idle Space Navy 0.09.0 gives us a redesigned, more…
ArynniaIt’s been a bit since my last Devnote, and, well, first my birthday intervened, then a minor but persistent illness, then the holidays. There were also work projects for the end of the year, and shut up Arynnia, we want to hear how the game…
ArynniaWell, it has been a hot minute, hasn't it? My last devnote was on 29 October, and my last mini-updates were in early and mid-November. The main reason for this is first that I was moving, but I also had a sinus issue turn into an upper…
ArynniaSome math that was supposed to be floating point in the new Calibration option wasn't. It now is.
Patch notesAfter some discussions and planning, Idle Space Navy 0.08.4 is hitting the Internet with a fix to temporarily correct with an unnoticed balance issue in the Shipyard. Calibration is now allowed at any point beyond Player Level 50, but will…
Patch notesThe 0.08 sequence has finally hit – and has it been intense! The first version in the sequence, 0.08.0, went through 7 or 8 patches before even two hours had gone by. After that rough start, three more bugfix releases have come to give us…
ArynniaFound a few more stray bugs in ISN 0.08.2, so here we have 0.08.3 (build 2023.10.29.0820) to help us out. Here's the scoop. Fixed new bug in Lab time bonus. Fixed visual bug in Calibrator toggles. Fixed visual bug with Artifact resets not…
Patch notesMost of the bugs in 0.08 have been worked out with the 0.08.1 release, but Idle Space Navy 0.08.2 (build 2023.10.28.0907) is going live to address a few stragglers. Here's what's what. Fixed Artifact buttons not working. Fixed Asteroid Mine…
Patch notesHoly crow, people have liked the updates to the game in 0.08.0 - but there are still some bug fixes in this sequence of ISN's development. Here's what's what. NEW FEATURES Item deployments can be preserved in Lab resets. Laser weapons are…
Patch notesAt long last - and after a few hiccups - it's finally here! ISN 0.08.0 brings us a whole host of new features - including: Piles of bug fixes. From the tutorial to ship placement to automates to the Lab - we've squashed every bug found in…
Arynnia{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44624780/94a1957d39a552fcd51c605f89ec770d3825245d.png NOTE: All saves will be reset in ISN 0.08.0 per prior information on the Discord and devnotes on the Phoenix Aura website. So, work on Idle Space Navy 0.08.0 is…
ArynniaThis is the first ISN Devnote posted to Steam, but it is the 30th in the sequence of devnotes. So, the Steam launch of Idle Space Navy 0.07.4 has been a much larger success than I expected. Over 3,000 people have added the game to their…
