Dear pilots,

we just uploaded to the Orbis Mainframe the latest update v0.3.3.

Quick Chat!

You can now send quick chat messages to other pilots in multiplayer matches.
It still needs some polishing, but you can now communicate with your friends and foes.
We also plan to add free text chat in the future.

Game Log!

Some times, in the fury of the battle, you might miss out that something happened, to avoid this, we equipped your on-board computer with an event log that will be displayed in the the top right corner. Try it out!

Remappable controls!

We heard you out, and we decided to spend some time to allow you to remap your controls.


We want you to orbit around in full comfort: you can now configure all the ship controls both for keyboard and joypad.


You can create multiple bindings and select the desired one for each player.
This way, you can configure your binding at your friend's place without messing up his own.

Bugfix and more

While we were at it, we fixed few bugs in the UI.
Additionally, you can now use the cancel button (XBox B, Keyboard Backspace or Esc) to focus the close button in UI sub-menus, when already selected, pressing cancel again will close the sub-menu.

What's next?

Since we didn't have time to do it this week, in the coming days we will focus on single player level design, trying to get a better learning curve.

We plan to add a tip/goal section in the single player UI, possibly add different single player modes. We also have a tutorial planned, but we want to do a short release cycle next week, to give you some more levels as soon as possible.

Stay tuned for more,
See you in orbit!
