Devlog - Blackstar Castle

Welcome back Star Knights!

It's been a while since my last Steam Announcement so I wanted to start the year off with a devlog of everything I've been working on since the last update. I've been working on the next area Blackstar Castle, and all that entails such as a new boss, new enemies, etc. Plenty of other content is also coming including new attachments, crew members, ships, relics and more.

So far I've added a new class, Volatile, that centers around scoring critical hits for massive damage. 5 new attachments have been added and some other attachments have been reworked to include being part of the Volatile class. A new boss, 5 new enemies, and 2 new crew members have also been completed.
