Hello everyone !
We are very pleased to announce that Lords of the Black Sun (previously known as Star Lords) has now entered BETA stage !
What this means for you as a player, is that development of the game has now reached a more advanced, (almost) feature complete, more polished stage. Over the past months we have worked hard to improve what the community felt was lacking when we first entered in Early Access ‘Alpha’ state back in December 2013, although never straying too far from the direction we set out on.
We worked very hard since the start of this project and for that we are proud, as well as very grateful to the community for the fantastic feedback we got. However there is still some way to go, and we hope to continue enjoying your support and patience, so that we can make certain that Lords of the Black Sun becomes the great space strategy game everyone wants it to be !
Here's a changelog of what you can expect from this new build:
- Improved AI: Now the AI fully uses the ship design component and its latest additions, designing more powerful ships and better managing its military forces making it a significantly tougher opponent.
- Major bug fixes and fixed some crashes and stability issues. Bug and crash fixes include the corrupted save files bug and the Trade Routes menu crash.
- Multiplayer is now being tested internally. While it's not available in this first beta release, it will be included as soon as we are confident enough with what we have, namely in the coming builds.
- Added revamped Light and Medium Draakian ships models
Cheers and hope everyone enjoys this new update !
PS: We are raising the price now that we have reached Beta version, but it is still cheaper than the final launch price will be, so don’t wait too long !
