🕑 Added 2021-04-20 15:59:29 +0000 UTCHello again everyone!
You can now download the latest version of the game :)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
***DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS***
DOWNLOAD no longer available / please download the latest version!
(!) For Android: Due to a recent software update of the game engine; the mousepointer has disappeared from the game & causes mouse-related crashes around the mini-games. The game is still fully playable, but new players might want to play version 5.5 instead, till the issue is resolved (which is currently out of my hands). The PC and Mac version don't have these issues.

Walkthrough
Are you stuck? Then maybe the walkthrough can help :) Note: the Walthrough will only be updated in the first week after the update came out.
Keep in mind while playing...
Mobile users; slide your finger over the screen to find interaction. Let go, to interact.
Mini game can be played with keyboard arrows!
Save games cannot be re-used (sorry!). But there is a skip option in the game (bottom of the screen) to speed up dialogs ( enable 'skip text' in settings-menu first') .
In a few rare occasions you can still leave a conversation by clicking on the shipmap. If you do, you might have to replay that scene before you can continue.
Press 'H' to hide the HUD.
Press 'S' to make a screenshot!

What else happened since the last update?
Well, this was a busy period for me :)
While working on this update, Space Rescue was also being launched on Steam (on 22-02-2021). It was all quite exciting! But luckily everything turned out for the best, and the game was recieved with a lot of enthousisam. It's currently even rated with a 9/10, which is awesome!
Additionally I also got the chance to promote Space Rescue on 'adventuregamers.com', which is really the place for adventure games. So for this I made 3 custom backgrounds, which were shown randomly on the site. And and for a full week, the site looked like this :

And in return for this great promo, I could make some art for the site :)
And for those who might have missed it, I also did a first interview about Space Rescue, where I tell a bit more about myself & some of my previous projects. (Thank you Mr. X-Bash!)

But probably the best thing was, that I got to work with Rob, who made the new mini-game. The colaboration was really smooth, and hopfully we can do more together in the future. I really love doing code, but sharing the workload allows me to make more art & speed up the production. Which would be great of course :)
And thank you!
Well, that's all the news I have.
But once again I like to thank you for your continuous generosity and support! Because that's really what brings this game to life & and I feel very lucky to have you around.
So... thank you :)
Well, please enjoy the update & till next time!

Hey Andrew! Thanks for sharing this, it's really helpful :) I think this might be the same issue we had with the Mac version; although no one mentioned it before on Linux. So only the mac download was updated, but the fix most likely works for this as well. It's included in the next update, so I hope that solves it for you as well. Thanks for sharing! All the best! Robin PS. I almost missed this message; there is a special bug report channel on discord where you can also post it if you like. Then I will always see it.

It works if I install the python-pygame, python-pygame-sdl2 and python-renpy packages and run "python SRCP_6_0_April_2021.py", although the screen size starts as 256x256. I think the bug might be related to having multiple monitors. log.txt includes: primary display bounds: (0, 0, 1920, 1080) swap interval: 1 frames Windowed mode. Screen sizes: virtual=(1600, 1200) physical=(256, 256) drawable=(256, 256) Vendor: 'X.Org' Renderer: 'Radeon RX 570 Series (POLARIS10, DRM 3.38.0, 5.8.0-60-generic, LLVM 11.0.0)' Version: '4.6 (Compatibility Profile) Mesa 20.2.6' Display Info: None Later in log.txt after I maximise the window: primary display bounds: (0, 0, 1920, 1080) swap interval: 1 frames Windowed mode.

The game crashes on start on Linux: $ ./SRCP_6_0_April_2021.sh JUNKERS MINIGAME STARTED Segmentation fault (core dumped)

He Andre, it seems like you started from an old save game. You need to start a new game to see the new content ( next update I'll add skip buttons!).
ANDRE XAVIER PECCINI
Hi, someone know how to start the valerie storyline i finish all the others but don't trigger anything, in the walkthrough say i have to finish the sophie storyline but i already did
Robin
Thanks Joost! And I've actually been thinking about that for a long time. But it's tricky, because the story isn't linear and the new content isn't always at the end of the game. I did include a skip button in the past, which basically turns all the triggers that hit during 1 story; but that was pretty prone to error. I could try it again though. But if you have a better suggestion, please let me know :)
Joost
Great job again, Robin! Now that the game is becoming bigger and getting more and more puzzles, it's also becoming a bit cum-bersome (see what I did there...) to see the new stuff every update, since we need to replay the stuff before that every time. Maybe you could add a save that has the previous stuff done already, or an option to skip significant bits of the game?
Robin
It will be there before the weekend :) Unfortunately the mac version had a unique but fatal bug, that took away the time I needed to test the mobile version.
Robin
I'm really sorry about that. The game had a bug that was unique to Mac, so I didn't catch that at first . But I just uploaded version 6.1, that should work as plannend :)
Arboris
Great job 👍🏻
Anon
The game doesn't open on Mac
Emeritomartinezjr
Still waiting on the update for Android lol
okay, found the save file, can i apply it to the new game without it breaking?
Can i keep my current save from the last release or do i have to start over?
Robin
Hmmm. Sorry about that! I'll look into it asap. But in order to figure out the problem; are there any Mac players who can play the game?
Robin
Thank you Graviton, I appriciate it :)
Robin
Thank you so much Glauco! :)
Bernhard
Yay, new update. Sadly I am not able to run the macOS version. I get an error message: Termination Signal: Segmentation fault: 11
Lurkfish
I wondered about this too. Will you (Robin) update the Steam version in parallel with the Patreon releases?
Fitzg
This includes the steam version as well?
thx so much, love this game.
Been looking forward to this. Looks great and awesome job with all the progress you've made.
