Workshop is a important function.

We can use the player ships to make other functions like "ARENA".

And increase gameplay , make more random content.

The workshop will be public after testing.





There might be bugs in the workshop at this stage.

Thank you for your understanding and support. If you haven't bought it yet, don't hesitate..

If you like it, welcome to recommend it to your friends...

Thanks :D

For several reasons , the game has not been updated for a while.
Thank you all for continuing to play this game，your support is my biggest motivation.
This time I mainly updated the cloud storage and some camera filters.

• Cloud storage support.
  
  
• New camera filters.
  
  
• More completed font system.
  
  
• Other minor adjustments.

After this update,the game will support steam cloud storage.
It may take some time to upload the first time.

The cloud storage is not just for uploading and downloading your save file.
It can also be used to share the ships you made.
In subsequent updates, you will be able to manually upload your own spaceship，and other players' ships will appear in your game as AI.
Of course, your ship will also appear in other players' games as well.

This feature will be the focus of future updates.



Add a sci-fi style Glitch filter.
And made some minor adjustments to art resources and visual effects.
The game should look a little better.


The game no longer uses the default font.




This is just a small update.
Unpredictable bugs may occur after cloud storage is supported..
Welcome to tell me if you find any.

Welcome to the steam community if you got any question.
Thanks for your support and advice :D

I have been designing and developing a quest system recently.
It should be available before Christmas.
And it took me a lot of time.
So. This update is not very big.

• Firing Mode.You can switch the weapons between full-automatic shooting and semi-automatic shooting.
  
  
• Design and develop the quest sytem.(unavailable for now)
  
  
• Adjust the recovery prices of ore trading center. The price will be lower than the stations.
  
  
• A background texture for station interface.
  
  
• Update the damage effects of the ship. Electric short circuit effects.
  
  
• Update the explosion effects.
  
  
• Other small change and optimize AI logic.
  
  
• Regular bug fix.

Firing Mode:
The firing mode is an important new setting.
It can bring different operating experiences.
Weapons can be set to automatic or semiautomatic firing mode.
Press [TAB] to switch between two modes.

Automatic Mode:
The weapon fired at maximum firing rate.(Like before)

Semiautomatic Mode:
In semiautomatic mode, the shooting speed will decrease to improve the accuracy.
Hold the left mouse button to aim accurately, and fire when the aiming line is green.
Shooting after aiming will cause 200% damage.
Of course, aiming takes time,semiautomatic mode is more suitable for high damage, low - firing rate weapons.




New Damage Effect
Electric short circuit effects.



Trading Center Price Changes:
Ore trading center only recycle items at half price now.



Quest System
Quest system framework design.
It should be available before Christmas.
Random quests may be released first. The mainline quest will release later.
