I have noticed players struggling with the demo, so I decided to remedy this with a new mode to help ease in new players! Unfortunately, I also had to remove the Bomb Storage challenge mode from the demo to maintain its size. Sorry about that, but you'll be able to play it again in the full release!

- NEW: Beginner Mode, which has reduced starting enemies, no bad crates, and an easier boss

- Standard Mode requires a bronze trophy from Beginner Mode to unlock (stays unlocked if you already earned a trophy before this update)

- Refresh Mode now requires 2 trophies to unlock

- Removed Bomb Storage Mode from demo (Sorry, demo is getting too big!)

- Locked game modes now show their names in the menu

- Changed Refresh Mode's description to clarify the increased enemies

🔹 Cable routing - from now on, you can route cables in the wall, drill holes and connect devices with them

A French syndicate has taken power — a cult of Masons obsessed with monetization and “historical accuracy.” They hold priests, players, and developers hostage. They experiment on their own employees, forcing them to buy and play their own games.

Infiltrate the heart of the Vatican. Destroy the syndicate. Free the hostages. And take the throne to become the new Pope. The world can’t even afford a remake of a 20-year-old game anymore. Gamedev is drowning. Only you can save it.

Greetings Lords of Rigel! The June content update brings a new special system the fleshes out the Electron Flux weapons more, the ELF Mortar. A medium range weapon with an area of effect, the ELF Mortar has a shorter duration for area denial than the Plasma Flare but has the advantage of penetrating shields and armor.

This update also includes some minor UI quality of life improvements for the displays on fleet costs and ship sizes in the skirmish and ship designer menus with warning colors added if over cost or size. Other recent UI improvements include being able to shift click to cycle new game menu items in reverse order.

The past few hotfixes over May and June have also included performance and AI adjustments that should improve some systems. The AI is more reluctant to exchange lower technology levels, and will appear more consistent in trade offers to the player as it will consider the strongest economy when proposing or considering offers. Before it was adverse to trade or research proposals if they came from other factions.

Over July the focus will be on other critical issues reported and implementation of an Iron Man mode. Games with Iron Man mode will only have an autosave.

Your continued support of LoR over the year since release has not gone unnoticed and while the initial plan was minor content updates for a year, there may be additional specials, leaders, and events in the fall and winter.

I am going to go LIVE in about one hour, give or take :D

The stream agenda is quite simple:

• Make a somewhat efficient space vessel design
  
• Program it to become competitive
  
• Then create a manually-controlled vessel and try to beat it

The programming part of the game is one of the least covered parts right now. I am going to address this issues today!

The stream will (hopefully) be accessible from the game's Steam page. I will probably upload it to YT later as well.
