Release V1.0 + a surprise for Early Access players

This is it. After two months of celestial tweaks, stars painting and titanic AI coding, Devouring Stars is finally out. The game is fully playable and, I certainly hope, highly enjoyable.

changedThis is it. After two months of celestial tweaks, stars painting and titanic AI coding, Devouring Stars is finally out. The game is fully playable and, I certainly hope, highly enjoyable. That said, there's always room for improvement so I will continue to update the game regularly. This 1.0 version adds a very long list of final tweaks and corrections I won't list exhaustively. Here are the main new changes:
addedNew option to better differentiate the enemies. If you had difficulties differentiating enemies from your units, an option can now be selected to clarify the action.
addedA couple of new effects (when you switch off the active pause for example).
fixedFinal AI tweaks. the "Leader" notion has been removed as it was too opaque for most players and resulted in very dumb behaviors, enemies are now more reactive if you try to sneak through a portal unnoticed, and some other annoying behaviors have been corrected.

It has been a short Early Access and although you have not been millions, your feedbacks, ideas and support have been extremely helpful. As a way to properly thank you, Ryan and myself have decided to offer you Devouring Stars soundtrack. It will be available upon release (should be soon now). Ryan did an excellent job on the music, I hope you will enjoy it! Should you have any problem retrieving the OST, please let myself or BulkyPix know by discussion or direct message.
