Hello again! I have been making a final effort to get this out there, so read carefully:

This is the release of Redrift: Redux. This is a mod for Adrift,  and I've been working on it on and off for 3 years. It aims to take Adrift, and improve its content, visual style, general robustness, and functionality while still maintaining the original appeal, and especially physics, of Adrift. However, it does not build off of Classic Redrift, so Classic and Redux contain fully separate content and design decisions to one another.

To this end, all the UI has been re-designed, many scripts have been massively reworked, and there is a fair bit of new content in the works.

Redrift: Redux will be available either through the browser, or via a download link. Classic Redrift will still be available for download for Windows.

Completely revamped the following:

UI Redesign is inspired by Rugbug Redfern's Remastering [Adrift] video

• Improved Inventory UI.

Quality of Life

• Improved building previews.

Backend

• Changed underlying systems for Items almost completely.
• Changed underlying systems for saving almost completely.

That is all for now. More content (items, locations, creatures (?)) are planned, but not guaranteed. For now, I hope this provides a great experience for old or new Adrift fans!
