Gratuitous Space Battles - Patch 1.28
Patch 1.28 für Gratuitous Space Battles steht zur Verfügung: Das Update behebt ein Absturz-Problem, fügt ein Messaging-System hinzu und erlaubt "Custom Challenges". So könnt ihr Karten mit eigenen Hintergründen, Budgets, Anomalien, Limits, etc. quasi selbst erstellen.
CUSTOM CHALLENGES
This is a big deal. If you go to the challenges screen, there is a new "custom challenge" map, which opens up a whole new screen showing stuff to fiddle with to basically create your own map, from existing backdrops, plus settings for pilot limits, budget, and the supply limits or spatial anomalies present. You want a battle with a 10,00CR budget, 4 pilots, no shields and no missile modules? You got it kiddo!
MESSAGING
The game now maintains an on-line "inbox" for everyone, and auto-sends you a message when your challenges are beaten or played, or when someone sends you a challenge. It also gives you the option of sending post-challenge feedback to the issuer. This means less wondering how the hell they beat you invincible fleet, and more reading the gloating from your nemesis, which is of course, all in the spirit of GSB.
1.28 took a lot of under-the-hood fiddling, but I think these two things were missing from the game, and needed putting in. I wasn't sure the challenge stuff would be as popular as I wanted it to be, but it has proved to be very popular, so it's been l33t to go back and add this stuff to an existing game. The game will auto-update if you have registered it on-line, but I'll be getting updated patches to the distributors like steam and impulse and the others right away.
