Stellar Warfare News

Carriers, fighters and bombers next week

One of the most requested features was carriers with fighters and bombers. I have some tests for it done already, but you can expect a bigger update next week with everything in it!

PS. I still need a lot of help with marketing, spreading the word, contacting streamers and increasing funding. If you can help in any of these areas or want to help in other areas then it would be much appreciated!

Matchmaking directions

Because the playerbase is still growing its sometimes hard to find multiplayer games. To that end I did the following steps to help people find games for now.

- I added a multiplayer disclaimer to the multiplayer lobby
- I added a 'find players on discord' button to the multiplayer lobby for all who dont know it exists
- I added another 'find opponent on discord' button to the multiplayer game list menu for those who check that screen when no one is online
- I've styled some of the multiplayer buttons to fit better on smaller screens

Please use the @Looking For Game tag in the discord to tag others who wish to play ^^

Several resolution improvements for those with widescreens + blackhole tweaks

updated the stellar warfare logo
improved black hole quality
did skybox tests
Changed coop and skirmish setup GUI scaling to 'shrink' instead of 'best fit' and set the vertical resolution reference to 768 to hopefully prevent issues on smaller or ultrawide screens
Improved main menu for those with small vertical resolutions
Improved multiplayer main menu for those with small vertical resolutions
Improved scaling for score screen
improved scaling for options menu
Improved scaling for 'the light' men

Weekly games

Having trouble finding a game?
Because the game is still growing the lobbies are often empty even though there are lots of people willing to play. That's why I have set up a discord (https://discord.gg/KrWbsdX) bot that will handle organize games on a weekly basis.

These weekly games take place on:
- COOP Tuesday (8:00 CET Amsterdam time)
- Battle Royale Friday (20:00 CET Amsterdam time)
- Multiplayer Sunday 1 ( 8:00 CET Amsterdam time)
- Multiplayer Sunday 2 (20:00 CET Amsterdam time)

If you want to join just go to the corresponding channels on the discord and click on the icon to join under the event so that people know how many others will show up.

The games will be held at the exact same time every week so that it is easy to find. If all these times are bad for you please let me know a new suggested and I will set up a bot for that as well so that it is easy to find people to play with around those times.

Of course you can also play at other times by just asking for people to play with in the #looking-for-opponent channel and tagging the @LookingForGame role. If someone wants to play you can then join one of the voice channels if you prefer. You can assign yourself a 'looking for group' role there which allows others to notify you when they want to play.

Weekly updates will be replaced by patch notes in Events & Announcements channel

Weekly announcements and patch notes usually have a lot of overlapping content. Because of this I will only post patch notes instead of weekly updates now. With the exception of very specific cases of course.

You can view the patch notes here: https://steamcommunity.com/app/1113030/eventcomments
