ANNOUNCEMENT
With great pleasure, I hereby announce that Starlight: Eye of The Storm Full Release version 1.0 will be out within 1-2 weeks subjected to final testing, qualifications etc. We are very close and the tentative date set for release is 29th September 2021.
What's new in Full Release?
- Full Campaign Mode, story mode, 15 missions in total. Available right from start!
- 16:9 gameplay! No more black borders unless you really want a 4:3 challenge!
- Arcade Mode, 10 stages of mayhem!
- Vanquisher Playable Fighter unlockable now!
- New weapons
- Improved game performance and systems as well as auto LOD adjuster to maintain a smooth gameplay.
- New score modifier (which serve more than just hiscores)
- New enemy ships, enemy weapons and different patterns and challenges
- Hidden end game boss!
What should existing players expect?
1) There's NO NEED to pay another sum to upgrade to the full release. You've supported us during early access and therefore will gain full access to the upcoming full release.
2) There'll be new weapons, a brand new campaign mode with 7 missions. Each mission consists roughly 3 small stages and all missions come with story telling. Skippable of course.
3) Saved games! Unlike Arcade Mode where there's only 1 persistent saved game, in Campaign mode, you'll be afforded 50 + 1 quick save!
4) Unlockable Vanquisher playable fighter! This fighter remained locked in Early Access due to the need to complete all side missions in the campaign mode. With the campaign mode, you can now unlock it! Complete the side missions! They do reward well!
5) If you're an Early Access adopter, congratulations! You'd have earned an achievement that will no longer be available to new players who purchased Starlight from Full Release onwards
What are the future plans?
These are unconfirmed plans that may or may not be fulfilled. They're not listed in order of implementation and may be subjected to changes without notice.
- More weapons!
- New Game Modes such as Survival, Boss Rush and even. .. Uber Boss Rush modes!
- Possible New Campaign
- Possible Weapons Editor
- Possible Campaign Editor
- Possible New Achievements
They'll be announced during our fortnightly build if any. We'll do our best to fix any issues - urgent issues get fixed immediately and deployed immediately. Major issues get into the weekly builds and standard severity issues go into Bi-Weekly builds.
Bugs and issues take precedence over new features. As much as we want to provide new content, bug fixes that causes serious interruptions will be done so first.
Conclusion
It's going to be a huge 8 days ahead of us. Lots of testing to be ticked off before we roll it out. There'll be a private testing session as well on Steam though it's not open to the public.
Meanwhile, please feast your eyes on these screenshots!
We sincerely hope to gain your support, feedback and suggestions!! BACK TO WORK FOR US!!!!
