addedHeads up! Alpha 2.0 is getting close, and its so different, its basically a new game! Here are some of the features coming in Alpha 2.0: +Brand new inventory system including rarities, durability, updated mechanics and graphics along with integration into several other systems such as transport ships and your equipment load-out. +Vehicles! You can now use vehicles to travel the map and explore or take on harder challenges. +Tons of updated content both visually and internally with their code. +The entire game is now converted over from the old version (RTS/3rd Person Shooter single player) to the new and improved version (3rd person action/shooter multiplayer). This means you can play with friends on the same maps and work together to complete missions! +Missions! These are brand new. You will have to complete these missions to unlock new maps. They offer tons of loot, xp and resources. +Character creator! Make your own commander, and then make a different one, or another one! You can have different commanders and level them up with different stats, skills and abilities offering a huge range of ways to play the game and specialize in different areas. +Brand new enemies and enemy A.I. systems. +Massive new maps that let players explore and go much further for as long as they want. No more time limits! +A new Homeworld that lets players have a safe base where they can add decorations, customize buildings and do crafting. +New Resources to harvest and collect and a whole new harvesting system allowing for players to harvest pretty much anything they see!
added+New UI and HUD allowing players to easily move some windows around and navigate easier! All UI elements easily close upon moving for fast response and use.
added+New Armor and Equipable items. Equip armor and change your weapons or tools with the new equipment system.
addedThere are a ton of more features to talk about but for now, this is a quick update on whats coming soon! If you already own the game, this update will change your game over to the new version so you have nothing to worry about! Please note that a lot of these features are very new and are still being worked out so even once 2.0 is launched, expect a ton of bugs and issues to smooth out. If you want to know more or stay in the loop, feel free to join the discord channel for either the game or the studio at the links provided. Thanks!
