Development Update 3/12/17

[Stellar Tactics]

I want to clarify that none of this is in the current build. It is work in progress and will come with the next content update.

Another update for all of you. Thanks again for supporting the game and your patience. Every week I get closer to the next content update. Here are a few bits of progress.

The new character portraits are now in the game and fully coded. When you start a new game, you will choose from the selected new portraits in the character creation menu. If you load an existing save game, all portraits will be replaced automatically. In some cases there may be duplicates. You can change any portrait at any time by clicking on it in the character information UI.

When starting a new game, you will be able to skip the Dauntless. After the universe data is generated, you will generate a single character, starting the game without a full team in the ruins. The game will proceed from there as usual.

The mission generator is fully functional now including the dialog options, mission accept/decline UI and the random generation of facilities of different sizes, layouts, enemies, loot and objectives. Of course, I'll be building on the base mission system over time adding new objective types, enemies and locations for a long time to come.

Fantastic game. Just bought the FTL drive. I must say the game has driven me to the discussion boards for more. For instance...is the Misson Generator incorporated and/or is there more to explore in the prologue in the current build?

Hi Dirty Reynolds - glad you are enjoying the game. All of the items listed above will come in the next major content patch. After purchasing the FTL drive there is no other content until the next major update.

willsama974 - The content listed above will be in the next major content update. This was just a progress report on where I am now in development.

Sorry if i was unclear ^^ I know it is a dev update not an update. I just finaly bought the game, so i was more refering to "general" feedback then feedback on something i can't play yet ^^

Ah, ok - thanks for supporting the game willsama974. The game has many rough edges right now. I'm improving it regularly. Looking forward to your feedback.

Have been following this game for quite awhile now I generaly try to avoid early access but may break my rule once the new content is released and patched. and purchase then . Keep up the good work.

[Stellar Tactics]

Thanks kennethsw. I really appreciate the support. Looking forward to your feedback on the game.

Hey guys let's make sure in a few years this isn;t one of those "most unbderrated games"! Get the word out there, I know I do. This guy can't do it all, and i'd rather he make the game than spend time marketing. let us do that for him!

[Stellar Tactics]

Thanks UK_John - always help when people talk about a game with their friends.
