Stellar Tactics - Progress Update

Couchpotato spotted a progress update for Stellar Tactics:

Progress update

Where I'm at with BETA and a few dates I'm working toward.

I'm making good progress on BETA. Wrapping up Chapter 3 is the priority right now. In Chapter 3, the enemy has arrived and that means new enemy ships, new enemy characters and new locations to explore. without spoiling the story, I will say that you should be prepared by the time they arrive. So, stock up on "nades", build powerful Psionic attacks in the psionic editor and get comfortable with Azimuth (from Chapter 2) - it's gonna be hell...

I'm throwing in a few screenshots here - work in progress of course. As I get closer I'll post progress updates with more info.

New enemies and ships:

New locations related to the story:

A few things players have been asking for will be included:

• Achievements
• Crew mission system. Send inactive crew on missions for experience and rewards.
• Azimuth for space combat
• Better tutorials (I get it, some players don't want to read a manual)
• Adjustments to the economy's effect on the Trade-Net
• Unique rare "named" weapons that include powerful effects and new weapon models
• Expansion of missions for variety including new space-based NPC mission requests
• Crew stats will affect space skills
• More devices for the ship hardware mount slot
• Better mission guidance
• Overall a really solid pass at jank and smoothing out rough edges

As far as dates, I'm looking at June for BETA and releasing the game in September. Of course, that assumes everything goes well and I can keep my current pace.

I realize things have been a bit slow over the last year. Thank you all very much for the support and patience. My wife is doing great! She has a few more rounds of chemo and the latest MRI is showing no traces of cancer. We are so grateful.

That's all I have for now. Thanks as always for your support!
