- Devlog #3 - 16 September 2025
Greetings, galactic captains!We have some news about development. Right now, we are preparing a new demo for NEXT FEST in October.First - the battle system. We are still working to make it more fun, but now it is easier to read and understand for the player.Second - we made unique skins for ship types. Every ship has a class, not only a level. For example, pirates have:Raider - stronger weapons, more damage;Brute - more health and strong attacks;Hunter - higher chance for critical damage.To show this better and give more character, we gave every type its own unique look.Third – more content and mechanics are coming. Sector system, new stations, new enemy ships, and more will wait for you in October.Stay tuned and follow the news so you don’t miss anything!

- Devlog #1 — Reworking the Combat System - 19 July 2025
So, we’re starting this small devlog to share more about the development process and the game itself.The combat system has always been one of the most important parts of the game. What we currently have is simple and casual.

Less protected parts will take less damage, while heavily armored areas — which are harder to hit — will take more. Still, even if you miss the target, there will be some minimal damage applied anyway.The game already has ship upgrades, hull purchases, and other elements that affect your ship — like the crew. In the future, we may add even more mechanics like that. This new flexible combat system gives us the fre…
