Developer posts and news about this game.
Knocking a few more things off my request list with this update before I dive back into the Sector 4 - Phase 2 content I have planned. Adaptive Shield This is something I saw in a game trailer and thought would be cool. Shields now have a new legendary variant. Instead of forming
In the push to finish multiplayer, I've been putting off some quality-of-life requests that needed more work on the user interface. Now that I've had a little time, I think it's about time a loot-heavy shooter like ours had some proper loot sorting tools and a way to test weapons
Today we're joining forces with three other space games for the Four Galaxies Steam Celebration ! Star Vortex, Reality Break, Star Valor and Astronomics all have big updates landing around the same time, so we've put together a little Steam event to celebrate. All four games are
I've never put as much testing and work into a single update as I have this one. The last couple of weeks really did feel like the quiet before the storm, but the storm is finally here. Star Vortex now has full online multiplayer support . A huge thank you to everyone who helped
Testing of the new multiplayer mode continues behind the scenes. While that's going on, I've been checking off a load more QoL requests that were on my list. A lot of these came from the Steam Community, but I read everything, wherever you may post it... Assembler Hangar Bay The
The graphics are finally getting to where I want them. For the first time I didn't need to create custom artwork for a news post... the header image is just a screenshot taken in-game with the new dynamic lighting effects. More on that below! New Difficulty Slider: Enemies Making
This began as a hotfix, but then I started messing around with some new weapon ideas. So alongside the bug fixes, there are now a load of quality-of-life improvements and some new toys to play with. Ice Fabricator The Ice Fabricator is a new utility weapon that sprays walls of ic
Ok, so we don’t have actual zombies. Not like the amazing Space Pirates and Zombies . If you haven’t played it, you absolutely should... just don’t ask about the sequel. Anyway, I’m adding a few fun new weapons to keep you entertained while most of the work continues behind the s
Not many visible changes in this update, but there's a huge amount of work happening behind the scenes. As a result, don't be too surprised if a few strange bugs pop up in single-player... And yes, I just called it single-player , because all of those behind-the-scenes changes ar
The Summer Sale is in full swing, and with it has come a wave of feedback from players discovering the game for the first time. This update is almost entirely driven by suggestions from the Steam Community. Conduits Conduits can now drop from enemies. These are auto-special slot
This... is a big update. The main feature is Close Combat, a completely new playstyle built around giant space swords, energy torches and aura weapons that reward diving in to groups of enemies. To support it, there's a brand new Gladiator secondary class, 13 new close-combat wea
Just wanted to give a quick update on progress. The next major update is the Close Combat Update , introducing an entirely new playstyle built around getting up close and personal with enemies. The update adds a variety of new close-range weapon types, including massive space swo
Another pretty large update for the class system this time. I've posted this as a regular update though, as I don't want to become one of those games that thinks everything is a major update. The Science Vessel has joined the fleet, and the grapple guns have finally received thei
I don't usually post news for hotfixes but yesterday's update broke a few player builds. So, after some reflection and discussion, I've made a couple of changes listed below. Gravity Well Black Holes can be fun, but they ended up being more frustrating than enjoyable as a reactio
I've decided to split this next update into two parts, this being the first. Simply because Early Access games can lose trust quickly if they don't get regular updates, so I didn't want to delay this when the second part is likely to take a bit longer. The purpose of this update
Finally got this thing working so thought I'd throw it out in a quick update. The game now has a built-in Glossary that lets you look up factions, ships, items, and legendary weapons. Glossary In both the main menu and pause menu you'll now find a link to the Glossary. Inside, yo
Sector 4 is finally here. Well, the first phase of it. I wanted to get as much content into the final part of the storyline as possible, so it has been split into three phases focused on charging the Singularity Key. This phase brings new ships, weapons, enemies, achievements (on
This update was supposed to be a hotfix, but I ended up adding so much to it that it’s basically become a set of balance overhauls based on some recent feedback. The abridged version is that you’re no longer allowed to die in less than 320ms, and when you reach the end of the con
Ok, as mentioned in the last post... I kind of lost track of my plans over the last few weeks. It started when I was trying to figure out how I was ever going to follow through on adding mod support. Once I actually started though, I couldn’t stop... so here it is, much earlier t
Ok, so I know I said the next update would be Sector 4... One of the perks of being a solo dev is complete control over my priorities. One of the downsides is that I have complete control over my priorities... Good news though, I hope! Instead of more content, I ended up doing a
