New Demo Version - v0.8.0.4 - Plex Power-Ups!

Update #13 · Oct 28, 2012 · comment

Hello again, Sages!  

We've got this week's patch ready for you.

Demo version 0.8.0.4 Patch notes (10-28-2012):

  • Plex Power Ups - Now every power-up has a chance to be a Plex bonus. These bonuses are color-coded according to how much Plex they will yield.
  • Numerous UI enhancements.
  • Added first-time help messages to the Hangar and Shop.

As always, you can download it here!

And now, an excerpt from A Runner's Guide to the Universe:

Plex: A matrix of potential matter kept in a subrostral state beneath the effects of gravity. A Sage can generate Plex from the nothing, but it is far more easily harvested from existing matter. The most common sources of Plex are the Stellar Foundries that dot countless stars across the universe. Since its advent, Plex has been adopted as a universal currency, measured in PKGs (potential kilograms). It acts as a form of fuel that Sages and threaded machines can use to generate nearly any kind of item or material imaginable.

Hope you're having a fun Halloween holiday! Until next time, Sages!
