Today is finally the day. Stellar Interface big 1.8 update is finally online!
The first thing we would like to do is personally thank to all our patrons for supporting us and to these 4 individuals: CrimsonKing, Exvhius, PotatoGrant and Tomtrocity. For the span of the last two months helping us testing, sending us feedback and giving us a support that we never felt before as indies, all of this on a Discord channel :D. If there is an 1.8 update, if there is an Xbox Version (BTW 1.8 update is in certification) and if there is a Nintendo Switch version it is solely because of these 4 Stellar Interface hardcore players that never gave up on the game and always kept us busy with bug reports and suggestions to the game.
This update and the upcoming Switch version is our way to thank you!
Well deserved acknowledgments aside, today is the 2nd anniversary of Stellar Interface, this time we don't have new DLCs to you but we do have a gigantic content update with new formations, a new mode and a remastered soundtrack! We balanced out the early and late game with a restricted software pool at the beginning and the harder than ever Lost Mode that turns the power of enemy spacecrafts into the next level.
We also have a Switch port incoming, hopefully, to be released next month (no dates yet) which will enable all of you to play Stellar Interface on the go, so stay tuned here or on our Discord for more news on that matter!
For now, I leave you with a dreadful long changelog, hope that all of you enjoy this new content update and as usual we are open for feedback, suggestions or comments!
A big thanks for playing Stellar Interface!
