  v1.3 Released with in-run fast-access menu

  Today's release is thanks to Zaxtor99 as he proposed the functionality. For an on-going run through the levels there is now the ability to press ESC and get a fast-access menu containing the following options: - Restart Run -- Pressing this brings the player back to Level 1 for a quick start-over - Restart Level -- will reload the run at the current level, with the Houses, Factories and Points had when initially reaching it - Exit to Main Menu -- Quick give-up and back to the main menu - Quit Game To Desktop -- closes the game

  Bug-fix release v1.2.1

  The service-pack fixes 2 crash-bugs: - If the machine is unable to properly load and play the intro-video for 'Digital Software' this is now handled and the loading of the main menu done anyway - Users with non-latin Characters in their name ending up in top-10 of the Highscore list no longer a crash due to lacking the character in the font-set -- the special characters is now replaced with '#' on a per-character basis Thank you very much to Zaxtor99 for reporting the intro-video loading issue.

  v1.2 Released with Ingame Music and new immersive Visual Effects

  Today we have released v1.2 of Meteorite Defense Command. New in this content update release: NEW: Ingame-music during the levels NEW: Meteorite impact and Missile explosion effect NEW: Main Menu Meteorites now pixelated and push towards the visual background Ingame-music during the levels One of the most requested small additions we received was music - while we had envisioned the silence of space, the addition of mood that the music can give made it clear that we should add the tracks we used for the trailer to the levels too. Meteorite impact and Missile explosion effect When a Meteorite impacts with the ground, a Missile explodes or when a Meteorite breaks up from gun-fire, various levels of 'visual shock' is added to the game-board (but not the UI) to illustrate a shock-wave hitting the operators visual instruments. When Game Over is reached this effect goes into overdrive to illustrate a total breakdown of the same components for the operator. Main Menu Meteorites now pixelated and push towards the visual background As a both a visual tribute to the old games that inspired us, and as a way to push the Meteorites raining down in the Main Menu screen more into the background, there is now a pixelation effect applied to the full view of them. The main UI text still remains crisp.

  v1.1 Brings a new Game Mode and some minor fixes

  Today we have released v1.1 of Meteorite Defense Command. New in this content update release: NEW: 'Infinity Mode' - Play Until Die, No Breaks NEW: Main Menu Meteorites FIX: Meteorite Distribution bug 'Infinity Mode' First of several new alternative Modes, allowing you to experience the game in a different way. Infinity Mode doesn't follow any hand-tailored levels, but is an infinite level with randomly distributed and spawned stones, where a time-based climb of level determine the speed and frequency of the drops. What level can you reach? Main Menu Meteorites The main menu now has meteorites flying in the background. They are of various sizes, some even smaller than during normal game-play, and will randomly break up for a nice visual experience while you decide to start a new game round. Meteorite Distribution bug The distribution-model for the hand-tailored mission unfortunately showed a bias of spawning the listed meteorites in the first 2/3rd parts of the screen, to the left. This has now been corrected and they can appear all the way from slightly outside left side to slightly outside of right side of the screen. Update 7th of Aug, 2018 We have also added the support for RichPresence - showing your current progress as your play, in the friends-list in Steam - just as DOTA 2 and some other games have!
