Greetings Star Commanders!
Our Thanksgiving break was fantastic and we have been hard at work ever since getting things ready for "Alpha 7: Meet the Midorians."
We are currently wrapping up some features and plan on releasing Alpha to the beta branch Thursday or Friday of this week so we can start bug hunting.
We will then spend most of next week bug squashing and setting up for the full Alpha 7 release on Thursday or Friday of next week.
So what's new in Alpha 7? A ton. This is by far our biggest update so far and should be the most solid (and fun). Some of the more major updates include:
The Midorian Race
A race of peaceful, green skinned beings that prefer a defensive and diplomatic approach to solving problems. This will include their ships, space stations, freighters and other surprises.
Loyalty
Earn your way up the ranks of each race by completing tasks for them. As you climb the ranks you will see more complex missions, often coming at the cost of the other species in the game.
Save Games
Our entire save system has been updated to support multiple save slots and much more solid loading.
New Store System
Buy, sell and browse the items each merchant has with our overhauled store system.
There are a ton of other updates and we will cover those in depth next week as we release the newest version. Can't wait to see what everyone thinks!
Cheers,
Warballoon
