    Hello and welcome to StarMade,
    the following sets of updates will bring lots of tweaks to the user interface of StarMade, to make it more accessible for new Users.
    Here are the first Set of changes:


    • Uncluttered Client Startup Window, to exclude advanced options and tools (they can be now accessed via the menu on top)

    • Free mode is now called "Sandbox"

    • Slightly changed menu order

    • Action bar no longer displayed in spawning mode

    • Smaller Help indication

    • Removed second "Exit" button (which wasn't functional anyway)

    • Suicide button now only appears if player has already spawned

    • Resume button renamed

    • Pressing Cancel or "x" in the options menu now brings you back to the main menu (instead of resuming the game)

    • Improved readability of options text.

    • Key binding options are now categorized by context.

    • Key bindings now have a better way to detect conflicts of related contexts

    • Smaller "OK" and "CANCEL" button for options

    • Refined [SHOP] icon to be more informational

    • Added easier tutorial controls in the main menu

    • Tutorial will now pause if the player enters the main menu (escape)

    • Tutorial will now pause & reset if player dies during its execution


    There is still a lot to do. Thanks to Proteus for the suggestions!
    Thanks for playing StarMade,
