Greetings, Spacefarer!
We've been working on improving the Alpha 10 version of Space Haven and we also have an exciting new feature implemented. Ship-to-Ship battles now come with music fitting the scene, giving ship battles that nice space battle feel.
Listen to "Hot On Our Tail" above, another masterpiece by Paul Zimmermann!
We also worked further on the starmap, adding some new elements to the UI to show where the player is and which star systems have been explored. A star system cluster will now light up indicating it has been visited. The circle around the node is divided into pieces matching the amount of sub-systems in a star system cluster. The brighter the piece of the circle the more is explored of a sub-system it represents.
We spent some time working on the AI, particularly how tasks are prioritized and executed. The change should help crew members be a bit more effective with the next task they choose. Remember to set priorities for your crew members in the crew management menu but be careful not to set too many categories as highest for the same crew member, setting all to highest for a crew member actually means none of them is more important than the rest =)
Fan Art
One of our great spacefarers TheLittlestTeapot started creating a web comic inspired by the events in Space Haven. It's amazing to see one of our players enjoy the game and create a comic based on it! We find the art style to be really appealing and hoping to see more of this in the future! =)
