Hi all,
Below are the changes coming in tomorrows update, which will now bring the game up to version 1.0. As a result, Starlight: Defence Command will be moving out of Early Access and into a full release at the same time.
Most of this update has been about ensuring everything is working as intended and adding the final touches ready for release.
The final assignment is now in. It's the biggest map to date and requires longer than others to complete. From my point of view the size and content is equivalent to 2 normal assignments, so has taken a while to polish off. I hope you all enjoy it.
