Hello again Spacefarers!
It’s been six months since the last testing release. This time was spent rebuilding the entire game, three separate times. This release comes with a number of performance, gameplay, and UI changes.
I’d love to hear your feedback on this release. As the effort behind Spacefarer starts moving from engine development to game development, getting the gameplay right will become increasingly important. Join our Discord and tell us what you think!
