March 22nd, 2017 – Notes for Cinth (or modders!) on how to use the new functionality in our custom LOD system that allows for you to compensate for bad anchor points in models (meshes). You can always update the mesh itself, or now you can do this too.
March 21st, 2017 – Detailed notes for Cinth (or modders!) on using the custom IBL shaders that we’re now transitioning the ships in the game to using. The visual look evolves!
I have basically no time left today, so I’ll just point you to this blog post from today about IBL in the game, and then these release notes. Just in case this blows up for whatever reason, there’s a new alpha0112 beta branch in Steam that lets you roll back if you need to. Also: fantastic…

This video is directed at external modders, for whom we’ve now set up a unity project that comes with the game and which makes it easy for you to add your own ships, models, sounds, visual effects, and more. This does NOT cover code additions or changes, and data changes like balance statistics, etc. Those…
0.106 was just a minor bugfix version on Monday. This one is more midsize.
