Notes about last release
About last release
Last release included a very non polished system to buy new ships. New ships are not really balanced and there is no way to get rid of owned ships, and no way to confirm buying ships. These are missing features that will be added in a non official release within the next week or so, as early as possible. Apologies for making a release somehow decrease the quality of the game, the idea was to respect the deadlines for the release at all costs. To avoid this problems next deadline is conveniently far and less ambitious. Thank you for reading this and supporting the project!
General news about development
It is a very busy time of the year, hence development is a bit slower. Part of the reasons are legal issues relating to the project, business and economic aspects are particularly dire on a student budget (I might be looking for a project/business partner), and I ran into technical difficulties.
