Hey there, I posted on your Steam forum thread; thanks for the report. If you haven't checked the Steam post, the short of it is this: We had a similar report about 4 years ago in a Discord conversation. The specifics of the incident weren't entirely sorted, but the user was able to resolve the issue by turning off his overclocking. Might be worth a try?

The console versions are also being migrated to UE5 so we can continue supporting them, too.

You're asking for added features to change how the game is meant to be experienced, and it simply was not in the vision for the game.

For example, let's look at Pac Man. When beating Pac Man, should the devs provide the player the ability to despawn ghosts, or make 100 ghosts, or make Pac Man invincible, or make all the dots into power pellets, or have fruit appear every second, or be provided a map editor to make their own maze? Because the game doesn't have these things, does that somehow mean the devs are looking over the player's shoulders telling them they're playing wrong or tying their hands?

Cheat codes can inadvertently burnout players by experiencing all the content really fast in a matter that wasn't intended. Even as end-game unlockable content, this can remove any need to replay a game, and replayability is a foundational pillar of EVERSPACE. Sometimes having a sandbox mode or unlockable can be a good thing, but not always. Skyrim obviously doe...

Because the overarching intent is to futureproof to continue supporting, this means for continued support. The difference in engine shouldn't change much (if anything) since we aren't changing assets at all. After all has been migrated, it should be the exact same game, just with a sexier engine under the hood of it with mechanics standing by.

We use Blueprints quite a lot, so the process has currently been mild pertaining to the codebase. Hopefully that doesn't change, because there's a lot of work to do!

Edit: Next stream is this Friday, January 5th.

For EVERSPACE 1, you can reset the game through the menus.

Options > Game > Reset Game

This will completely wipe your save, thus starting you from the very beginning with the tutorial.
