Story & Drama Open For Testing

Hey everyone!

I've been working hard on the Stardeus v0.14 "Story & Drama" major update over the summer and it's almost ready!

It's now open for public testing. If you'd like to try it and provide feedback, follow these steps to activate it:

Right-click Stardeus in your Steam library.
Choose "Properties."
Select the "Betas" tab.
Choose "v0_14_pre" from the dropdown.

There are many significant changes to the gameplay, there will be a separate post about it.

Discuss the update on Discord in the #v014-playtest channel or here on Steam. Bug reports and feedback are greatly appreciated!

The v0.14 update will launch for everyone after several weeks. See you then!
