Projects (research):
Projects tree overhaul! Removing things that did not make sense, adding new things, changes and additions to the story, moving things around. Too much to mention everything, but one cool thing is: In order to let the player choose their own playstyle as much as possible, the majority of Alien Smoke Grenades in storage facilities and all Alien Smoke Grenades in Explorer UFOs has been replaced with a
new item called Alien Gas Mix, that can be used to manufacture Alien Smoke Grenades, Elerium Balls, and more. All alien engineers also carry one Alien Gas Mix for increased supply.
Improvements: A whole lot of misc.
Made mapblocks for several facilities in Base Defense a lot less ugly.
Laser weapons overhaul: better sprites for Laser Rifle and Guided Laser rifle, and changed stats.
Improved Aerial graphics.
New stuff: New background image when using the Alien Scanner.
Replaced most landing crafts with brand new ones, that are not just similar versions of the same craft but each with its own features and personality.
Added back vanilla pistol and Heavy Cannon. Added possibility to disable self destruction mechanism on blaster bombs.
Added possibility to build Operation Center (aka Laboratory) mid game.
-------------
Version 0.2.20 is out! And as I finally have played trough the whole mod and had a LOT of progress in completing and balancing things, it is no longer super unfinished and I no longer advice against playing it!
Early and mid game should be very polished and complete. Only the end game needs some more polishing, but its hopefully pretty balanced as well.
The development of the mod has been crazy fast in the last few weeks, but will now slow down significantly as I have reached my goal to make playing the mod a good experience and complete enough to be definitively playable.
I hope others will have as much fun playing it as I had making it, and I appreciate ANY feedback!
Latest version is attached to the previous post!
