Spent half a day on my game today. Took some time off for the weekend. Managed to fix a font related crash and shader compilation issue in the morning. I also added some tutorial screens to the new game and rearranged the UI.
Gameplay wise, you actually die now if your temperature gets too high, I …

Following on from my previous post I've gone ahead with the looting salvage from ruined ships idea, using the shadows of asteroids as cover from the suns heat and radiation.
