Today, I released version 1.3.0 of Space Mission: Survival.

The menu system has been completely rewritten. I did this for the visual enhancement, and in preparation for features that will require additional menus (controller mapping, for example).

For those who want info on the technical reasons…

The original main menu and sub-menus were all one giant layout. This made adding or changing items a very tedious task.

The new menu system is more modular. Each menu “page” is a separate entity. This allows flexibility when adding new pages and adding/changing existing menu items. The menu now supports multiple layers via a breadcrumb feature.

I am thinking of starting a series of YouTube videos explaining how this game was developed, the development of new features, and how-to videos on items I have encountered. If anyone is interested, or if you are interested in specific topics, please let me know. Depending on interest, I will pick up the pace.
