We have been busy! We are just returning from a trip to game conferences in Europe, testing online, and showcasing our immersive sci-fi adventure at festivals in the USA. Gamers have provided vital feedback about the project and this translated to dev sessions that will bring infinite procedural worlds and much more. This project will also see a brand update, from "Exo" to "Starlight"
Specific things that will be changing with the reboot include:
New skies and exotic alien planets, species and cultures
Crafting and resource management
An astrolabe puzzle mechanic to decode stellar alignment
Land surveys and archeology
Map
Compass
Fast-travel
Video clips through each level telling a story of exploration and discovery
AR heads-up display and a complete UI rewrite
These features are all completed except crafting and survival. We will be going into a testing round early this summer. Once issues testing surface have been resolved, we will release, slated for Q4 2024.
This was our first game, and we much appreciate early adopters and those who continue to show interest. We have learned so much and the original release, although seeing early attention and traction suffered from issues that prevented it from finding the audience it deserves.
The Starlight reboot will be released with 4+ levels and priced based on the amount of content that we create. There will be more levels and all customers receive updates without additional costs.
We had to focus on your latest feedback about the campaign's economy and offer necessary adjustments. Furthermore, we offer a new feature asked by many, the possibility to refit ships received as war reparations. This ability will function only on new ship prizes.
Optimization Update v1.5.0.5 - Further campaign's economy and AI adjustments, addressing cases of too high or too low GDP growth. Oil resources will have a significant impact on growth, income, refueling and ammo replenishment. - Added the ability to refit ships that were received as reparations. - Optimization: Smoothened Cpu processes that could, in some system cases, cause freezes due to performance slow down.
Enjoy!
The Game-Labs Team
Uploaded optimized version - Fixed memory issues that could cause ships to freeze in combat for players that had very long gameplay sessions. - Some optimizations in aiming which should resolve turret rotation lagging when ships turn too sharply. You have to restart Steam to get this update fast
Uploaded optimized version x2 - Further potential fixes to address non-reproducible errors that were reported to us. Ships could freeze during a campaign battle. You have to restart Steam to get this update fast
Uploaded optimized version x3 - Memory optimizations. Battle FPS increase. You have to restart Steam to get this update fast
Note: It is found an UI issue when you press the "Leave Battle" button not during battle but when a battle ends in the after battle interface. It causes a fatal code exception which eventually will make the game to stall after some time and if you play a battle the ships will freeze (It may be caused by other actions as well). This problem should be happening not so often. We will address it as soon as possible. You will help us in your reports if you mention what were your prior actions before starting a battle where you anticipate frozen ships.
Uploaded optimized version x4 - Fixed a UI bug which could make ships in campaign to freeze after some time of gameplay. Please advise if you are still getting this bug, although it should be rare. - Other generic optimizations. You have to restart Steam to get this update fast
