The last update before release is done.
LoveChoice is ready to go!!!

Thanks to everyone who gave advice or played our game before release.
Special thanks to Nathaniel who did the English proof for me.
Special thanks to Yuto Asano who did the Japanese proof for me.

We improved our game in many ways these days.
And we definitely can't do this without your help.

Thank you!

Dear players!

We are currently working under implementing additional items and achievement for the game.

Approximate time: end of October 2018

Thanks for your patience. Stay tuned!

Hello!

I have finally gotten around to adding some background music, I'll admit, it's not 'triple-A cinematic game' level, but it fills in the silence that was there before.

The music volume is of course, also adjustable from the settings menu.


Overall, the ship sprite is the exact same, but a few minor details were added. I have also added a bit of a 'shadow' effect around the edges.

In addition to this, I have also fixed a few bugs regarding the level editor escape menu.

Finally, I have added one more co-op level. It is my intention to continue working on and creating more singleplayer/co-op levels for the game, even after release. In my opinion, it would never be too late to continue adding more levels.


Just a mere four short days remain until the fourth of October and the game's release. I am getting very excited for this occasion and I hope you are as well! I recommend following my Twitter, developer page, and following Galactic Lander here on Steam to stay tuned for future announcements and news!

Hello,

I am working on achievements. If things go smooth, you will have access to the achievements in a few days.

The achievements are mainly about how many random levels you beat.

DEADHUNTERS is in active development.

So this update has taken a little while due to a brief trip to the netherlands, this is the first focused update we've had in a while, it's mainly focused on the Blackmarket. This came from a bit of spring cleaning with my old Warsim to-do list dev notes, I found quite a few cool Blackmarket ideas I'd forgotten about and thought why not get them all done in one update and finish the Blackmarket once and for all, some of you guys suggested some cool things for it too so thank you! This update is pretty big, including 246 features added and 24 bugs fixed!

**BLACKMARKET COMPLETE**

There are lots of parts of this blackmarket update so they will be split into smaller sub-categories

*GENERAL ADDITIONS*

This is the stuff I couldn't fit in any of the below categories, now you can find out the troop brreakdown in the market, the market can be upgraded by its leader if they have the gold, they will now have a more dynamic treasury and actually can surrender to you instead of always refusing.

*LITTLE ROUGHIANS*
