- Astrox Imperium Devlog 46, Walk around outside your ship! - 18 March 2019
In this video, I cover a few new quality of life tweaks that make things a bit easier all around. I am sure once the game releases next week, the flood gates will open with new ideas for better functionality. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uekQer9KNjQ I have added the ability to drag specific quantities of items. By holding down the ALT key when dragging and releasing an item, you will be presented with a slider that will allow you to select the exact amount you would like to move. I have also added a tweak to the notifications, so that they no longer are obfuscated by the Galaxy Map filter bar, or the Tactical Overlay bar. You can still move these bars around to your liking, but by default, they will no longer block the top notification. Major changes to the missiles and physics that controls them. I have addressed the issue of slow missiles, by calculating the current speed of the sh…
- Astrox Imperium finds a home on Steam! - 21 February 2019
I am extremely excited to announce that Astrox Imperium has finally found it's very own store page here on Steam. No more hijacking this page for updates. I do apologize for the delay in posts here, but I have been so busy trying to get everything ready for the Early Access launch. With my to-do list is getting shorter by the day, things are looking great heading into these final 4 weeks. You can head over to the new page, and tickle that wishlist button for me. I will be posting all the future updates on the new page. https://store.steampowered.com/app/954870/Astrox_Imperium/
- Astrox Imperium Updates - 28 October 2018
I am getting very close to opening this up for some testing from you guys. I can't thank you enough for sticking around all this time.

Anyway, stay tuned, be patient, we are getting close now... and I can't wait!

- New Astrox Imperium Videos! - 14 February 2018
Hey guys, just thought I would post an update to the progress of Astrox Imperium. I have really gotten myself into a groove lately. I am averaging about 7-10 hours a day, every single day for the past 4 months. Things are really shaping up, and I am beyond excited about how this is coming together. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fyy-dYuQsAM Check out the NPC Mercenaries. I have added some additional functionality to the Fleet UI panel, allowing you to manage the tactical stance of your formation. This lets you switch the Mercs behavior between evasive, neutral and aggressive. In evasive formation, a Mercs will immediately return to the nearest station when any damage is sustained. In neutral, the Mercs will stay by your side, target what you target, and basically follow orders. In aggressive, once damage is sustained, they will break formation and attack the target that attacked them f…

- Astrox Imperium - 22 September 2017
I have been somewhat silent for awhile now about what I have been cooking up behind the scenes, but today, I am excited to reveal that Astrox Imperium, the sequel to Astrox HSE, is on it's way . As many of you know, Astrox was designed as a browser game, and because of this, many limitation were hard-coded into the game to help optimize it for web play. It was only after the success of Astrox on Kongregate that many of you began asking for a stand alone version. I was directed to Steam by the players, and after much work, and plenty of hoop jumping, Astrox hit the Steam Store 2 years ago. It didn't take me long to realize that Astrox could be so much more if it had been designed as a stand alone game from the start. I'm proud of this game and I want to make it the best that it can be. To do this properly, I had to start over from scratch, taking all the best parts of web version, and ad…

- Build 67 : Local Save Game fix - 16 June 2017
I have removed the saved game function that was using the windows registry. The game now saves into a local folder called SAVE_DATA in the astrox_Data folder. (Right next to the MOD_DATA folder). When you load your saved game, it will pull the data from the registry and place it in a save.txt file. Once your game is saved, you can clear the old save and the game will use the txt file from there on out. make sure you see your saved game before clearing your old one. If it looks like your game isn't saving, clear the slot and the txt save will replace it. i will be hanging out on the forum if you need help. This will also allow players to modify saved game data, I will be opening up the workshop soon with tons of info about what all those numbers mean in your saves, as well as the MOD_DATA files. (HELP!!! i lost my saved game!!!) If you open astrox and do not see your saved games... Step…

- Ship Editor, Astrox Sale - 25 August 2016
Astrox will be on sale for just 4 bucks over the next 2 weeks. I was hoping that some of the younger gamers with tight wallets can knock this one off their wishlist. I can't thank everyone enough for the support over this past year. Okay on to the good stuff! I am slowly getting back into the swing now that the kiddos are back in school. I have been working quietly on some stuff behind the scenes and I figured it was time to share. People are asking me for a number of things, and it seems like one of the biggest improvements I need to make is a scaling UI. You will be happy to know this is in the works. With this new UI system, I have already started working on some basic editors for Astrox. The SHIP editor will allow players to construct the ship model from various smaller components. Then you can edit the base stats along with special bonuses and hindrances. http://images.akamai.steam…
