Hey all!
It didn’t take long, our first Kickstarter stretch goal was reached! Thank you all for making it happen, Economy and Trade will be implemented! It’s time to reveal the third goal, which is an exciting one.
Weapons and Combat
Although Stardeus already has a few very light combat mechanics - turrets shooting down meteors, and fluid cannons loaded with water or biowaste bullets fighting fires and crawler infestations, this goal will bring it to the next level. You can expect hand-to-hand combat, gunfights, melee combat with boarding parties, raids, pirates, and hostile alien creatures.
This will also Enhance the faction and diplomacy mechanics, by making factions fight each other. What could be more fun than being raided by two different pirate factions at the same time and then watching them fight each other? Getting tactical combat right is going to be a huge challenge, but I believe that with help of all your feedback we will manage to come up with satisfying results.
One last thing, you will be able to weaponize your cleaning bots by rigging them with explosives and detonating them remotely while the bot casually cleans the dirty floors right next to the unsuspecting raiders that just boarded your ship. This is going to be epic!
See you in the next update!
