I like the new update, though it's still not enough to make me play adventure mode.
Now there are two of them.   There are two ______.

This is not Steve's longest absence from the boards at all, it is neither unusual or worrying.
He does not make this game as a job or to please us, it is something he does for his own personal amusement that be happens to want to share and all the rest of us will just have to live with that.
As for bugs, yeah they exist, but none of them make the game unplayable and I kind of doubt we will see any bugfix updates for a while since he is distracted with NA and presumably real life.

I'm still alive :)

Since Xmas I have had very little free time, mainly due to work. I hope it will improve soon but I am not getting any work done at all on Newtonian at the moment. When I do get some time I will go through the Bugs thread for v5.6 and try to clear any significant issues.

Steve

awesome great to hear youre alive, sad to hear about real life time issues work is important though.  Now to go and invade this naught party alien race on my border regions.  Pesky little buggers are on one of those really hard to get to planets in a nebula system with 1000m sec speed limit and a binary system where their planet is waaaaaay out on the other star waaaay over there.  8 months to get to invasion spot yay
