Apparently, I'm meant to post news when Star Vortex goes on sale. So here's your official notice: the game is now 10% off for the weekend.
The demo is fully up to date. If you're still on the fence, check it out. Your saves will transfer to the full game without any issues.
Next Update (v0.5.90)
I've decided that the next update probably doesn't count as a major update. It is however, quite game changing, especially at higher levels.
After this update, ships will no longer be limited to four slots of the same type. I'm finishing up the last UI fixes and performance tweaks now. Some of the chaos this update is already causing in testing can be seen below.
Hopefully it should be finished in the next week then I'll be on to the new upgrade tree, which is starting to take shape, and will remove the need to unlock weapon types.
