- Update incoming! - 20 June 2017
Hello everyone, We are currently working on an update which will be released very soon, so we wanted to take a minute and share some of the things that we've been working on since release. The update will focus on adding variability to our wave system and adding new modes of play. Each pirate type will now include a miniboss tier for increased destructive power. Each miniboss is essentially a more deadly version of the base class with increased health, more damaging weapons, improved AI, and even special abilities that will allow them to wreak havoc upon your base. We are also adding a new game mode which focuses on capturing points outside the base and building holding them to produce energy for the colony. Every pylon you hold increases your energy production and hastens your victory over the pirates, but they will be fighting hard to take the pylons from you so be ready! For anyone w…

- Stardrift Nomads Price Drop - 9 May 2017
Hey Everyone, After watching reviews and listening to the community, we are making the decision to lower the price of the game to $9.99 After working on the game for years, we all felt that there was tons of content in the game and priced it at what we felt that we would pay for it, but we are biased, and we lost view of the current market on price for content. After doing a lot of research on current indie game steam prices we decided to price the game at $9.99 We all feel this more accurately represents the amount of content in the game and variation in gameplay. We have free updates planned to add more game modes in the future, but we want our price to reflect what is currently in the game. I hope this price will allow more people to enjoy the game. We are always watching the discussion boards and reviews and love to hear everyone's thoughts! For those of you that bought the game at…
