That is only a fast write-up, as a result of it is outdoors workplace hours, however… Mobius Digital, creators of wondrous digital orrery and gravitational stageplay Outer Wilds, are making a brand new sport.
The “announcement” takes the type of a throwaway line in an in any other case unremarkable Outer Wilds replace changelog. Right here it’s:
This minor patch is now out on Steam solely, however will likely be delivered to all different platforms besides Nintendo Change in late Might. In case you’re not on Steam, don’t fear, you’re not lacking out! It is a minor patch primarily for including a pair people to the credit and fixing two PC-only bugs: clicking out of the sport disabling sure inputs (resembling the important thing for the ship’s lock on), which affected streamers specifically, and diagonal motion being quicker than regular with mouse and keyboard.
Why stagger the releases like this? It’s to extend the prospect that, if any dangerous bugs on Steam slipped by means of testing, they’ll get caught and stuck earlier than the discharge of the opposite platforms. That is no shade to our QA testers, we’re simply attempting to be additional threat averse and conservative with the sources we put towards Outer Wilds since our new sport is our precedence!
After the same old bullet-point round-up of additives and fixes, the changelog publish provides that “there are not any extra main updates deliberate for Outer Wilds or Echoes of the Eye as a result of we’re onerous at work on our subsequent sport.”
So then. Nicely now. What may they be as much as? One other house sport? Additional makes an attempt at simulating quantum mechanics and different components of “post-classical” physics? I’m all agog. Due to reader Faxmachinen for recognizing it and passing it on.
