Beta version 0.27 released

Whisker Squadron: Untitled Space Game

The second title in the Whisker Squadron universe takes the fight to the cosmos! A free roaming roguelike featuring tense battles in open space, sprawling Swarm factories, remote stations with quests and shops, moons infested with bosses, and a fantastically colorful vision of outer space.

We've just released the 0.27 beta for our private beta testers! This last month, Sean and Aaron worked on fleshing out a new system we're calling "Special Events". Special events will appear on your generated mission map: [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38459534/2dc4df9a7829eb347fff34e52c1dd101996e75af.png[/img] Each of these Special Events will give you some sort of choice to make, or sometimes give you a bit of story related to your squad's characters.

This feature is something we've been really excited about for a long time, and this build is just the first pass. We'll get a lot more of these events in the final version, with some proper writing! Other things in this build: [list] [*] Lots of bug fixes related to music [*] New items to buy in the shops, and a better UI explaining what the items do [/list] What's next? This month, we'll be working on refining the combat. We've gotten some great feedback from you all so far on things like shooting, and we're taking it to heart. We'll be working on that, as well as the enemies and level design. Thanks for reading!
