Hey Everyone,
We have a major milestone update today that finally completes the foundation of the game. Today`s update includes galore of features - from new game servers to the dedicated hosting utility and so much more. With this update done we can finally say that the foundation components of the Stars End are complete, and now we can focus on polishing and improving across the board, and including more awesome gameplay content. This will be a very exciting winter, and we are expecting at least one update per week moving forward.
Also this winter we are switching to an open development – where we will invite our players to offer help in any area of developments. We are looking for people to assist in any capacity – from testing to bringing new gameplay and balancing ideas. From help with Unity coding to translating the game. In addition we will be letting our players decide on what we should focus the development on via polls and feedback. We are looking forward to working closely with our community and building an amazing survival experience together.
Now lets take a look at what today`s milestone update 67 has to offer. Since there are literally hundreds of changes, we will focus only on the most visible parts this update:
