Achievements have been added to New Stars, which includes 32 Steam achievements for exploration, colony, victory/defeat, diplomacy, and more.
Achievements add more objectives and ways to play New Stars. Some are easy - colonizing 3 different worlds, and some of them are difficult - completing the game on max difficulty. I have also added hidden achievements, which I will not spoil here.
Achievements also have their own unique artwork, and more will be added over time.
I have also been working on other features, such as procedurally generated skyboxes.
You may also notice more realistic planets, and star graphics.
Some of the planets have procedural generated properties as well, as gas giants, terrestrial worlds etc. can appear in different colours, with other differences. In New Stars, all star systems look different from each other.
The 4th of April 2023, which is next week, marks the first year anniversary of New Stars development. This will be the biggest milestone since development started, so stay tuned for more updates.
