As you may have noticed, we significantly speeded up the development process. Today we want to share with you some highlights about upcoming Space Rogue 1.27 update. Although we call it "minor" it contains more changes than you might expect.
First of all, the patch will bring new playable ships. Starting from 1.27 version you will be able to choose a spaceship for your journey through the galaxy. There will be three ships available in total. Each ship is suited for specific playstyle and tactics. Of course, more ships are coming with further updates.
To get a new ship you have to prove you worth it. Have you noticed those space points, which you gain at the end of each game? Now these points tied to a new progression system. Gain points, get levels and unlock new in-game possibilities (including spaceships!). For example, second playable ship opens at the third profile level. You will reach the third level approximately after your second or third playthrough. Playing with higher difficulty settings will reward you with more space points. Thus, you can level up faster by accepting a challenge.
In the 1.27 version, you will get rewards for levels until you reach level 7. Of course, we’ll add new rewards in future updates.
Attention! Points that you already gained will be recalculated.Sorry for inconveniences.
We hope you'd like two new (or rather radically refactored) main missions. If you have played Space Rogue before you'll notice that missions' plots already familiar to you. However, events and enemies are completely new.
Also, we have a good news about savegame files. Space Rogue 1.27 version WILL BE compatible with current version’ savegame files. Sure, we’ll keep this compatibility for future updates. We hear your opinion.
As always, the new version includes a lot of bugfixes and small improvements. We're planning to release it within a week. Stay tuned!
