EDIT: Because of some issues that popped up I've put chapter 3 on the publicdev branch. This means that anyone can still play chapter 3, you just need to select the correct branch like this:
As mentioned I will fix these issues asap and chapter 3 will be set to default in no time. Thanks for reporting the issues guys!
Hi everyone, it's finally out!
I've been working on the latest chapter without hardly any down time and it's been fun but incredibly demanding. I will be gone for a day or so to take a wee bit of down time and spend some time with my family. I'll be back on the 17th and will start cramming out fixes and attending to questions, etc.
It took a bit longer to get to this point due to the engine upgrade and it I haven't had the chance to completely deal with some of the new quirks that came with it.
Translations still aren't working yet, Retron One, which was to be debuted in this update, while still in the game, is not rendering the player's weapon properly. (I Just have been informed that there's an annoying little glitch where a door near the end is missing, this will be fixed ASAP)
For those who want to pick up where they left off you can download the savegame here:

In this new chapter there's more environmental details to uncover. There are some new gameplay additions and most importantly, start exploring the STARDROP itself.
One important aspect is that the STARDROP ship model, for now, is still a placeholder. It needs more time and attention to get it done and I want it done right.
Other visual oddities have also crept up. Nothing major, nor game-breaking but still not what I wanted. However I have put myself on a deadline and I have to keep it.
Oh, and I hope you'll like the easter eggs :)
So, the full chapter IS playable. The entire narrative is in it. I still want to add some more details into the chapter but that will come in time.
I won't go too long into everything in this post. I have more coming in the next few days. For now, I will keep tabs on new bug reports and will fix the issues currently present and will polish content some more.
I do hope that you'll have fun and expect a more detailed post very soon. For now I hope it was worth the wait.
