Anamnesis 130507 Released

Previous savegames are not compatible.

You can get it at your right under Downloads.

Now this is a release I like. There is still room for improvement but overall I'm satisfied with the new features.

The main focus this time was in justifying the neglected "Correspondence" menu option and introducing a solid ground for the political aspect of the game. You will now be able to shape the colony in more ways through politics and voting and, with patience, even to win the game in a new way by proclaiming yourself emperor/empress.

Right now, this will be extremely hard to accomplish, but of course there are missing pieces in the political puzzle that will see the light in future releases. I mean, what are politics good for without being able to blackmail and assassinate problematic individuals?

As per usual, please let me know any bugs or typos you find inside the game.

I hope you enjoy the release.

Bugfix 1 Released: Cancelling when navigating through the Correspondence menu was causing weird behaviours. If you experienced this problem please re-download the game.
