Hellooo Pilots!

It's been an interesting few months with the development of Space Battle and other goodies in the pipeline. After the release of the DLC and after much reflection, Space Battle will undergo a pivot in its initial approach. The game will no longer be free to play. The main reason for this is because the game has evolved a lot since its inception and although it resists to die, there is still a long way to go to continue updating and improving the game.

By this I mean that in the following months the game will continue to receive updates with content as well as the next update will include the portals between sectors, later I plan to finish the smugglers and some other surprises. Some of the updates will be evaluated depending on the audience and obviously your opinion.

A demo will be uploaded soon so that everyone can enjoy (for a limited time) the content of the game, this way it will be possible to continue to enjoy the game in a certain way.

Another factor to keep in mind is that you will have seen some movement on other platforms. These are going to get the same treatment as on Steam. All content will be uploaded in parallel so it will be up to you to decide where to play. As always you have the community and social media to react and comment. I'll be posting mainly from the Steam community and Twitter (aka X).

Thanks to all those players who have been with Space Battle since the beginning.

Something is moving in deep space and you don't have your space station to help you anymore... The Mayhem DLC adds a new Bullet Hell style game mode where you will have to endure as many waves as possible. It was planned for release on June 10th but I'd rather have feedback soon so I can work out the kinks.

There are still some details to polish and improvements that will be applied to the base game as well as the DLC. I don't want to publish a roadmap with all the changes but I can say that soon the game will be available in the EPIC GAMES STORE and I will be busy making the necessary modifications as well as upgrading to Unity 6, so patches will be common.

Although I mention it in the DLC description itself I will mention again that purchasing the DLC is completely optional. I wanted to investigate the process involved in making DLC, the technical and bureaucratic aspects. On the other hand, it is impossible to improve the content of indie games without funding, so with the purchase of the DLC you are helping to maintain the game and future games, which I anticipate, there are little things prepared, once again thanks for joining me in the space adventures.

This time a short devlog. I haven’t uploaded any version yet because I’m working from the ground up again to get some really cool stuff, but, I have something interesting. The use of shields will now be available on enemies. Depending on the level, they will have more chances to use it.
