Unending Galaxy 1.0.5 Released !

EsKa

Snap1571Unending Galaxy 1.0.5 has just been released.

The main features of this new release are the new sound library (support for directional sounds, multiple speaker configurations) and the new faction policies which allow you to set your stance toward the pirates and manage who can access your territory. There’s also quite a few “ease of use” improvements like the ability to see what a dock builder is building and its progress. Multiple bug fixes are included too. The full list is in the article below, you can also check my previous article regarding those changes if you missed it.

As usual, it can be found in the download section. If you already bought the game, the deluxe edition should be available at whatever store you bought the game from or through the download key you got by email.

While at it, the first mod for Unending Galaxy has been released by Paul, it’s a whole new faction called Starborn Dominion. It is available on our forum here.

Unending Galaxy 1.0.0.1 Released

CIhwbnRWgAEiGYo.png largeHey !

First of all, general news about the game. We are on Steam Greenlight now ! Please consider giving the game your vote, that would help a lot. People who already bought the game at another store will receive a free steam key if/when it gets released. I am also currently writing a fairly long article about the future additions planned for the game.

That being said, here is a new version of Unending Galaxy which fixes most of the bugs that have been reported so far. This new version is both mod and savegame compatible with 1.0. Both the deluxe and the basic editions have been updated. As usual, if you bought the game in a store, download the updated package, otherwise your download key should work as usual.

Notes and changelog are in the full article.

Unending Galaxy 1.0 Released

EsKa

After a full year of development, Unending Galaxy has just been released as a stable 1.0 build. While the quest to make an all-in-one space simulation is far from finished, it’s still a nice milestone in itself. I can’t thank enough everyone who’ve shown support in any way, shape or form, it means a lot.

As usual, I will detail the changes and explain what’s going to happen next in the full article.

The key new features are:

  • New events including a short storyline.
  • Procedural map generation
  • Improved colony integration
  • New tutorial mode with a couple missions
  • Plenty of additional content and fixes.

Unending Galaxy [Beta 5] Released !

EsKa

rtitle04The final beta version of Unending Galaxy has just been released. Beta 4 was supposed to be the last, but recent breakthroughs in the game’ stability and performances require one last large scale beta test before the 1.0 release. As usual, if you bought the game through itch.io or via a direct donation, your key should work perfectly fine.

The major improvements are:

  • 2 new factions with their own ships, weaponry and docks
  • Heavily improved game stability and performances
  • Improved combat systems
  • Rebalanced prices and game’s pacing
  • Better user interface (so, much, better)

There’s also 160 other changes and bug fixes. However, the procedural map generation discussed a few days ago has been disabled as it’s not ready for prime time yet. But don’t worry, barring any other large issue, the 1.0 is just around the corner. For once, I am not going to write a full article and let the beta do the talking instead. 🙂

Note : While it’s a very large update, the only reason why the beta 5 has been released is to test the stability improvements. If you experienced crashes in the past, it’s probably a good time to give the game another chance.

 

Unending Galaxy [Beta 4.1] Released !

EsKa

It looks like the Beta 4 was shipped with a fairly annoying bug that was heavily reducing power plants production, causing an economic slowdown and way too many “get me some energy cells” missions to spawn. The 4.1 beta, which fixes this issue, has just been released. It also includes a few additional features to make up for the inconvenience.

As usual, the update is available in the download section and people who bought the game on itch.io can use their private link.

Changelog:

  • New: Made dock traders better at deciding which resource is the most needed
  • New: Price for factory supplies is dynamic
  • New: Reassigned thread priorities, game should feel less laggy when lots of things are happening in the galaxy
  • Fixed: Factories stopping production before their cargo space is full
  • Fixed: Too many trade missions are energy related
  • Fixed: Bug in some scenarios causing badly named player ships and docks

Unending Galaxy [Beta 4] Released !

EsKa

title08Unending Galaxy [Beta 4] is now available for download !

At last, the beta 4 is available. As usual, I won’t list everything new, fixed or changed, because there’s way too many things to list and it would make the devlogs fairly useless, but here are the main points:

  • New combat AI with better flying patterns and turret tracking
  • Trading and production system overhaul
  • Improved user interface and gameplay
  • Automated ships can be tweaked
  • Many bug and stability issues fixed

I hope you will enjoy this release. The changelog may not be as big as usual, but between the improved combat mechanisms, the trading overhaul and the more complete and consistent UI, there’s already plenty to do.
