[h3]Hi! It is Commander Ken, solo dev behind the Star Survivor and [url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/1178780/BattleGroupVR/]BattleGroupVR[/url].[/h3] [h2]Star Survivor doing a QA check-up[/h2] You may have noticed recently that there have not been many updates. The reason is that the game was given to QA specialists for the check-up, and they need 3–4 weeks with no major changes in the game. And, sight, there were so many small things only QA people notice. Like if you click Add card >> Choose a Card >> Return >> Add Card, then the card is still shown as "chosen". Long story short, the least fun part of game development. [h2]Bundle Collab with Space Cats Tactics[/h2] It is a turn-based strategy with cats in space. You could get the game with a launch week discount, plus an extra 10% off via the bundle. https://store.steampowered.com/bundle/33618/Space_Tactics/ https://store.steampowered.com/bundle/33617/Cats__Stars/ [h2]Upcoming Events[/h2] [b][url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/1178780/BattleGroupVR/]BatleGroupVR[/url] is releasing its version 1.0 next Monday[/b] — July 31. It is my 1st commercial game that was in development for 7 years. My buddies will organize a multiplayer session and broadcast it this weekend to celebrate it. [b]Star Survivor will participate in DreamHack Beyond[/b] this August as part of the online showcase. [b]Confirmed for the Bullet Heaven Festival[/b] that will take place in November. [h2]July's QoL Improvements in the beta branch[/h2] [list] [*] Card drop logic rework to avoid the same card drop in re-rolls [*] A visual indicator of gas circle damage and disable time [*] Delay to gas damage on its spawn [*] Shield, Tagging, and Tesla Coil now show up in Upgrades [*] Choosing a card in the campaign keeps it in the draw pool during that stage [*] Adjusted exp curve from +20% per level to +35% - 1% per level [/list] Originally, the exp needed to level increased by 20% each time to level up (exponentially), now a flattened curve is being tested. So, by level 35, the exp needed to level will be the same and no longer increase. [h3]Also many bugfixes:[/h3] [list] [*] Fixed add card filters being toggled while typing in search [*] Fixed keyboard shortcuts triggered while renaming deck [*] Fixed orbital mines lose collision [*] Fixed fighters being detached if bay replaced or comboed [*] Fixed quadrant equipment upgrades do not apply to the new equipment [*] Fixed bomber instances being capped at 40 [/list] Of course, there were some bumps in the road too. I wanted to support the UltraC channel that posts videos of Star Survivor regularly by taking the game to Nexus, a influencer-supporting platform. But got no reply so far. Anyway, I would greatly recommend checking out the UltraC YouTube channel. Lee and James do not just play games, they make really strategic builds for all their videos. Check them out!
