Hello Residents, It's your mission director checking in with an update about the mission launch.
The preparation for the journey is moving along well, with a lot of loose ends cleared up and a lot of major improvements landing to make our experience better.
(Note some details/visuals are not final, and the gifs lose a lot of quality!)
Camera
Earlier versions of the camera were a little awkward, relying on keyboard keys and flaky screen edges (especially annoying when viewing from multiple desktops). The camera has been upgraded to drag based, so you can play with just a mouse if inclined (the keys remain).

Paths
You'll also probably notice the paths are now cohesively connected. Our previous path representation (if you recall) left a lot lacking, and didn't quite convey what makes them relevant to the mission. The placeholder paths from before were stones and didn't connect at all (WARNING: old image!):
The new paths are a lot better, and you get a lot more feedback about how they work and their connectivity and whether they're in use by a resident:

Outlines
When inspecting multi-space buildings on the mission, they didn't properly highlight all affected spaces which was unclear to Residents.
Now they do, and Residents appreciate it.
