Hello, Operator!

It has been a long journey. DESYNCED first launched into Early Access in [b]August 2023[/b], and since then the game has grown tremendously thanks to your feedback. Over the past few years we have been constantly improving systems, adding new features, expanding the world, and refining the experience together with the community.

???? [b]Today we are very happy to finally release Desynced 1.0![/b]

This is a major milestone for the team. It marks the point where the game has reached a level of gameplay and content we feel confident sharing with a wider audience.

At the same time, [b]1.0 is not the end of development[/b]. We are continuing to work on new missions, additional world content, UX and QoL improvements, and further refinements to core systems such as behaviors. Many of these ideas are already in planning. We will also share a [b]new roadmap after 1.0[/b], so stay tuned.

????[b]Please support us by [url="https://store.steampowered.com/app/1450900/Desynced/"]leaving a Review[/url][/b]????

⚠️ [b]Desynced has changed a lot since its EA launch [/b]⚠️

If the last time you played was two years ago, [b]do not expect the exact same game[/b]. Many systems have evolved, new mechanics were added, balance has changed, and the overall experience has been refined across multiple major updates.

Starting a [b]fresh save[/b] and rediscovering the game from the beginning is the best way to experience everything that has been added.

???? Below you will find the complete list of everything included in this update ????

???? Desynced 1.0 Patch Notes

✨ [b]Steam Achievements and Steam Trading Cards[/b]

We’ve added full Steam Achievements support plus Steam Trading Cards, so you can earn badges, emoticons, and wallpapers while showing off your progress.

[img src="https://clan.akamai.steamstatic.com/images/43336663/19ad4a39c78932f0df37e0e01fd3c9e39c5498f2.png"][/img][img src="https://clan.akamai.steamstatic.com/images/43336663/19ad4a39c78932f0df37e0e01fd3c9e39c5498f2.png"][/img][img src="https://clan.akamai.steamstatic.com/images/43336663/19ad4a39c78932f0df37e0e01fd3c9e39c5498f2.png"][/img]

*[i]Steam Achievements are already available. Trading Cards, badges, emoticons, and profile backgrounds are currently [b]pending approval from Steam,[/b] so they may appear with a small delay but should become available soon™.[/i]

✨ [b]New Game Plus Feature[/b]

After finishing the story, you unlock the ability to start a fresh run from a different perspective, changing how you approach the world from the very start.

✨ [b]Replay Improvements[/b]

The game now remembers the state of the game when it or an active mod was last updated. This "snapshot" state will be used as the starting point for playing back a replay to prevent the replay playback from going out of sync. There is now a menu button while saving which allows for replay data and snapshot data to be removed from the save. It also allows replay recording to be re-started at any point.

✨ [b]Language Support Update[/b]

For various reasons we had to remove [b]official support for Polish, Czech and Portuguese[/b] for the 1.0 release. However, we were not happy with removing them completely, so these languages are still available [b]unofficially in-game[/b].

Much of the text remains [b]human translated[/b], and the languages can still be selected in the game. They are simply no longer listed as officially supported on the Steam store page.

[b]Performance Improvements[/b]

• Improve performance of check for finishing a construction site blocking off access to other construction sites

• Performance improvement to order assignment process most noticeably in large bases by performing more parts of it asynchronously via multiple threads

• Disallow array style initializers for noise params (elevation_params, etc.) as done in some package:setup_scenario functions because it breaks code that accesses fields by name (frequency, scale, etc.)

• Add support for specifying a color attribute in rich text tags

[b]Thank you for being part of this journey![/b]

Whether you're starting your very first colony or returning to rebuild everything from scratch, 1.0 is a great moment to dive back into Desynced!

Good luck out there, operator ????

Enjoy the game!
