Hello Pilots & Commanders,
Once again, we are honoured to be joining our fellow developers in the Czech & Slovak Games Week here on Steam.
What and why are we celebrating?
The Day of the Struggle for Freedom and Democracy is primarily linked to the year 89 and the so-called Velvet Revolution, which marked the peaceful transfer of power and the advent of democracy. It represents the beginning of free entrepreneurship in our countries, including the gaming industry, which gradually developed during the 1990s to its present form.
We will be streaming footage from the game for the entirety of the event starting today at 7PM (CET) - feel free to join and ask any questions about the development.
Major Update Progress
As mentioned in the previous Work-In-Progress News, we are currently working on a major update for the game, which will introduce new and reworked sector mechanics, plenty of new locations, ships and weapons - as well as the option to directly control large ships (finally!).
Our initial plan was to release this update in time for this event, but we have since decided to do a lot more than was planned at first, considering that we are revisiting core and essential systems that will make the game experience much more coherent and consistent - a decision we have based both on reviews and community feedback as well. Thus we kindly ask you to bear with us! O:-)
More info regarding the update will be ready for you in the next Work-In-Progress News, which will be posted after the conclusion of the event.
Many thanks for all the support and feedback we have received so far.
Daniel & Adam
