- Version 0.7.5 update (on beta) - 12 January 2023
Hi all, We are very happy to officially announce 0.7.5 is up on the beta! A lot of requested features have been added and bugs fixed. Achievements are finally here! You can also play with controller, controlling not only the ships but the menus opening the inventory and switching to the different screen with the shoulder buttons. We also added a fun little mini-game based on the survivor trend, it is still very much work in progress but already fun! FYI items like shields stack on top of each other, so if you get an item with lower stats it will be added on top of the other items you already have! We are going to combine this mini-game in the main game in the form of arena challenges. As always we will be happy to get your feedback. Thanks for your support ː8bitheartː Patch notes version 0.7.5: Steam achievements. Partial controller support. Hotkeys for loot, stuck and equip items from…

- Make it so update - 27 May 2021
Hello Everyone, This is a major update to the game, overhauling multiple areas that have needed attention for a while. We'll try to list everything here. As a warning, this patch will invalidate all previous save files. We will try and do something about this in the future (such as stashing all items to be retrieved in a new game), but for now this was unavoidable. Our apologies on this. Storyline & Plot All text for the storyline for the prologue and first system have been redone Plot is more consistent than past iterations More story elements in the mission details and dialogue Tutorial Integrated into the prologue and first system via the storyline Introduces new interfaces and game mechanics in a gradual manner Missions Now shows an 'Active Quest' log in the top left corner The Mission tab now has additional details per mission by hovering over it Additional missions have been added…
- Build 0.4 - 25 March 2021
New Void enemies! New Items! New Bugs!
- 3... 2... 1... Ludicrous Speed Engaged! - 1 March 2021
Hello all, I plan to update the game on Monday the 8th of March. So what's in the update? The main change is that enemies are now designed to be beatable with skill or counter-play instead of relying more heavily on RNG. We have added/changed few weapons that can be countered by the player: * Artillery is a new weapon, and the blast area can be seen before it hits, so it can be avoided. * Time bomb is a new weapon that can be destroyed before it explodes. * Homing missiles can now be outmaneuvered if you are fast enough. Some of the other items we are adding enable different type of play: * Repair beam * Energy draining drones (need a better name) Other changes/fixes are: * Cloaking now works with Vacuum Modulator * Cloaking is now an upgrade to shields (via imbuing station) * New graphics for starport and crafting stations Full patch notes will be released with the update. Thank you al…
- Galaxy in chaos - Part 2 - 22 September 2020
Hello all, Just a quick update, I am aware that the game is not balanced (terribly hard and not consistent) The game is procedurally generated (enemies, sector types..) and a change I made to the generation changed a lot of unexpected things. I am actively working to fix it really soon. In the next update I will address some issues that are caused by the procedural generation, enemies will no longer be procedurally generated. I believe this update will make the progression smoother. Thanks for all the support Kobi

- Order in a galaxy of chaos - 13 November 2019
It has been a while since the last development update, it is hard for me to write a development log when I feel like I am disappointing the few that did buy the game but I don’t want to keep you in the dark. I feel like the game has progressed and regressed instead of going forward but I will keep working on it until it matches my vision. There are two things that I am currently working on, the first is the story which I am finding very difficult to finish… I got the outline and nice twist but the details are hard from me to write, writing was never my strong suit. Basically it tells the story of humanity after years of constant struggle trying to find a solution to the constant wars and the human condition by sending von neumann probe to the center of the galaxy. The different factions of humanity believed that a solution that will unite humanity lies in the stars. With the Federation…
