Patch Notes v1.5.9PROTI've added a PROT arcade machine.What is PROT?Ctrl Alt Ego would not exist without the considerable game-dev talents of former co-dev Chris.PROT is Chris's new game:PROT is an original robot sandbox game, which defies description really because there's nothing else like it. The closest I can come up with is "chill sandbox logistics problem solver". It's essentially the same t

Dec 17, 2025 Patch Notes v1.5.7
Patch Notes v1.5.7Valve reviewed the game on Steam Deck and (correctly) judged it to have fallen short of fully verified status. There were only a few small issues in their report... so I did this patch to fix them up in the hope I'd be able to get the fully verified badge. But then they came back to me with more issues... so rather than get stuck in an endless loop, I decided to accept the PLAYAB

May 18, 2025 Patch Notes v1.4.18
Patch Notes v1.4.18 bugfix: it was possible to get the VaQ program in a kind of stuck-state while unequipped, so that it was forever processing un-sucked-up things bugfix: on load save, ego fragments were scaling wrongly. Hilariously too big in fact. Think I broke this fairly recently so hopefully only one person noticed. DORs: Any ego door that you can ctrl and open, you can now also close. There

May 4, 2025 Patch Notes v1.4.17
Patch Notes v1.4.17 Physics change: Prior to this patch, the physics performance was adapting to the framerate. I've come to understand this is really not a good idea - physics needs to work at a constant/fixed rate for the simulation to give consistent results. So this update sacks the whole adaptive physics 'feature'. Improved physics collider for the cylindrical vent/pipe windowed sections - af

Patch Notes v1.4.9 I hate Fonts For the benefit of you few kindly souls who read my patch notes, I'm going to break with tradition and explain why this patch exists before I go on to explain what purpose it serves. Back in 2015 when work on the game began, it seemed a cool and fun idea to create the entire user-interface using pure fixed-width text characters - as if the user-interface were a pre-

Patch Notes v1.4.7 Corrected poor materials usage, mostly in the UI - less inefficient now. Can't believe I only just noticed. Made it so the elevator near Rocket Launchsite can be ctrl'd from the lower level while it's at the upper level if you've ctrl'd it previously (after a player wondered why they couldn't) Fixed a missing collider near Rocket Launchsite Fixed a stray unlocalized string that
