I just finished the first mission and noticed that I can't use thrusters in glide mode. Is this a design choice or something to be fixed later? It seems like your mod is available on Knossos even though I saw a post saying your've taken it off there. Did you put it back or did someone else? I don't see a download link in the OP. Lastly, what is the +18 patch? Is it blood or nudity?

[Strygon]

It's not a bug strictly speaking but if enough people ask about it I'll allow thruster use. I did reupload it very recently back onto Knossos but neglected to mention this in the development log.


As for the 18+ Patch, the idea was nudity, right now it just contains nothing, because that's a surprising amount of work to be done. It will contain more in the future though.

[Master_of_the_blade]

I personally would love to get thruster access in glide mode.

[Strygon]

Development is going private for the time being. I will not be posting updates anymore for the forseeable future. Thank you for your understanding.

If it eases the burden I understand and support your decision.  We've all got only limited time

Additional note:

Consider this a request rather than a demand (I  have no way of enforcing it anyhow, nor do I have any intention of doing so) but I would appreciate it if the current release of the mod would not:

-Have playthroughs recorded
-Be streamed

As it currently is, with the state of development, Episode 1 is both severely out of date and completely averse to the experience I was intending to display. Additionally, with numerous assets being in dire need of overhauls, it would be worth not to consider Episode 1 as the first of four official releases anymore, but rather a very, very crude and early pre-Alpha.

Therefore I kindly request that it is only discussed as such and that anyone refrain from seriously playing through it as a full release.

Thank you for your consideration.

Development Update:

Development has completely ceased until further notice. Thank you for following the development of First Contact War.

[Mobius]

I'm sorry to hear that. I sincerely hope you'll be able to resume progress on the project.

[Goober5000]

Seconded.  Take whatever time you need though.

[Nightmare]

That is very unfortunate, but from what I've heard it is more than reasonable to put it on halt. A hobby should be fun after all, no matter how deep you feel devoted to things.

[Strygon]

Further Addendum: It has come to my attention that, for reasons I am unfortunately not certain of, a majority of the mod's currently released missions are unplayable as a result of several game breaking bugs.

First Contact War has henceforth been taken off Knossos until eventual fixes can be made. When this will be done is uncertain. I apologize for the inconvenience.
