Hello!

This update took more time than we expected, but now it is possible to save your ships in external files and load again!

Also it is possible to load ships for specific faction, including AI factions which allows to create some large scale battles using premade ships.

The ship browser still will be improved to have better usability. For example, more convenient way to override existed files and possibility to update screenshot of the saved ship, but it will be slightly later.

Thanks! :)



Improvements

• Added possibility to save ships to external files and load again. This feature also works for multiplayer since ship data can be transmitted to all connected users.
  
• The Start\Splash screen style was changed to design with dark background (light background was too bright)

Fixes

• Linux: Thanks to our Linux testers, we found why the game wont start on Linux. Turned out the problem in anti-aliasing, for some reason Linux can't handle it. We disabled AA for Linux and now Linux builds works again. Later we will try to figure out how to return back AA for Linux, but it is not a priority for now.

Hello!

We are pleased to announce that after almost two years of development, we are ready to move the game from Pre-Alpha to Alpha state!

Of course it does not means that we will not add huge improvements! We plan to implement a lot of new features, such as heat system, better production, gathering resources from planets.
However, that means that the game concept became quite stable (for example, we will not return back to 2D graphics and do not plan to add movement in 3 dimensions), and the game now have many important features, such as save/load, multiplayer, trading, missions. Our first release didn't had any of these features.

Seems like we made a lot of progress during this time. Just compare our previous Greenlight Trailer and Early Access Trailer with the new Alpha Trailer
But still many things will be done :)

Also we updated the text on our store page, screenshots and uploaded a new trailer.
Thanks to your efforts, now the game have translations on many languages, and we added this information on the store page.



Besides that, we decided to show our project on the main page of Steam Store. It will be first attempt during entire development.
We hope to achieve significant increase of revenue, because we have an ideas how to significantly improve speed and quality of the development, but this will require additional finances.
We just want to let you know that most finances will be spent on further development, not on our personal needs.

Thanks you for your support!
Stay tuned, more amazing features still need to be done!


Note: This small update it is an addition to previous large update 0.7492. Check it for the full changelog.


Improvements

• Languages files updated

Fixes

• Game no longer break when you exiting to main menu from paused game
  
• Fixed audio effect when module placed and some others audio effects
  
• Fixed name: Asteroi -> Asteroid
  
• Options window extended so "full screen" button no longer overlaps with "apply" button
  
• "Default" language removed from the list
  
• When language is changed, on-hover tips also changed and does not requires to restart the game
  
• Tip "Right click: Sell" removed when you hovering storages of docked NPC stations
