Offline Solo available in Beta Phase

We are happy to say that the 80th milestone update is ready, and is now available for beta testing. All the features have been implemented, and we are just doing some final testing before we`ll bring this update live for everyone in a day or two.

Beta Access

To try the update, just Right click on Stars End in your library, select Properties, and then Beta and opt in there. We have one officials server running there as well, we copied our most popular Server 0 database there, so many of you can continue where you left of.

And as always - thanks so much for everyone`s support - we are truly blessed to have such an amazing community.

Now, let stake a look at what this milestone update has in store (please keep in mind it`s still in beta mode)

Offline Singleplayer and removing MySQL requirements

• Singleplayer Offline mode added - play the game singleplayer and offline

• Option to start Stars End in fully offline mode - no internet connection required

• New Self-Hosting menu that does not require mySQL setup for players to host games

• Singleplayer Offline and Self-Hosted menu have access to the same character and your game world, allowing you to change starting conditions and various gameplay properties

• Self-hosted menu also allows you to invite your friends or even random player to your singleplayer offline game
