There are only 8 more days to go until Between the Stars finally launches on Early Access.
New Steam features
We have updated the game to give support to Steam Cloud saving, so now you can save “on the go”!
We’ve also set up the game with Steam “Enhanced Rich Presence” which will let your friends see your captain’s level, whether or not you are in battle, and basically what you are doing in the game!
Would you like the Enhanced Rich Presence system to show more information in particular? Please write down your ideas in the comment section below!
Demo update
We’ve also updated the Demo to have it on-par with the latest version of the game. Some of the changes that the Demo now contains are:
- We've added Steam Cloud support.
- We've added "Enhanced Rich Presence" support. Now when you're playing your friends will be able to see your captain level, if you're fighting or in which space station you are docked.
- 4 new music themes have been added.
- We've fixed a bug that softlocked the prologue when there are no scientists or engineers in the crew.
- A bug that duplicated the item "Corrupt Data" in the prologue has been fixed.
- A bug that gave the item "corpse" when a crew member died has been fixed. Now the crew member dies directly.
- Now the native screen ratio will be detected correctly.
- Now the screen resolution and screen ratio should be loaded correctly in window screen mode.
- Now controls configured by the player will save correctly.
- We've added graphical detail in enemy ships.
- The lighting has been improved.
- We corrected the engine lighting on some of the ships.
- A bug that softlocked the game when the player used the star map in the docking area has been fixed.
