Pax Autocratica News

We know that the last versions of the game are hard to get along with, the new Galactic Conquest System (GCS) is still way too unpolished and it's hard to understand how to play and what we should be doing. More than that, the old FPS mode entrance is hard to find and there are lots of pretty horrible bugs... We're sorry about that, so next week you will have a much more user-friendly version to play with! We'll add on the main menu different buttons, there will be one for entering the GCS and another one to directly start a new Battle Blockade (FPS-Roguelike mode). Other than that we also fixed the horrible bugs that made the GCS almost unplayable and we also added support for controllers so that you can play while being on the sofa! There will be more details and content in the next week patch note, but still, let's have a look at the next week preview!

We've got 4 huge news for this update! The first one is that the game no longer crashes when quitting! The second is that the in game pause is now a real pause!! The third one is that we are finally releasing the Interstellar Lord System (ILS)!!! And the last one is that because of the first 3 news we're having some issues with the version and we'll have to delay the update for 4 hours ːsteamfacepalmː

Right now the ILS is more like a prototype, there are a lot of issues, lots of assets are placeholders, the features aren't complete yet, etc. But we do believe that it doesn't make sense to keep everything internally until it's 100% polished, we want you to participate and give us feedback about what you like and dislike, we also want to give you the opportunity to share some awesome ideas with us while we are still working on the new features! So don't be shy, go wild with the feedback ːsteamhappyː
Tomorrow is the Dragon Boat Festival so we will be having fun for 3 days and go back to work on Sunday to start working on the next version~ But today's version is not out yet so, it is no time to think about holidays yet, right? Then let's go through this patch together!
