Hello everyone! We’ve just released the 1.0.1 patch! This update fixed several bugs and improved a few things on the UI (including making the galaxy map labels much crisper!). We also tweaked a few aspects on the AI.
Compatibility note: The saves from 1.0 should be compatible with 1.0.1, so you should be able to continue your games normally with this new version. If there’s any issue please let us know
Thanks a lot to everyone who has bought the game! The launch was very successful and we’re thrilled to see so many players playing the game, for so many hours and the player count is going up and up! That is amazing!
By the way, we need more reviews. Please consider writing a review on Steam as soon as you’re ready.
A special word to the community who has been doing a fantastic job answering to people’s doubts. Also, thanks a lot to everyone who has been sending saves and bug reports. We’re very happy with the feedback we’ve obtained so far, and now we’ll get back to work to make the game better and better for you on each update!
Have fun!
