PhaigeX: Hyperspace Survivors News

To all Potential Confiners!


As PhaigeX is nearing the milestone completion of Hyperspace Mode, we are launching a LIMITED-TIME FREE TRIAL of our workplace experience! Join us in our mission to get rid of malicious A.I. control over the vast space.


The Playtest Period is for one week, starting from August 23rd, 2024 to the 30th of the same month. Have an early grasp on how the game is currently shaping up.


We are still gauging the level of satisfaction from early game to end game, and thus in need of more feedback and combat data. We want to make the workplace journey as much fun as it should be, so keep leaving those impressions and suggestions in our steam discussion and discord channels.


Rest assured that whatever findings we picked up from this playtest period, it will contribute to our final milestone, preparing PhaigeX for the complete game release.

So come join us, in our fight towards a brighter future.

Welcome back, Confiners!

Hyperspace Campaign development is ongoing! The team has been making some adjustments to the new game mode to have a more unique experience compared to the existing ones. Please enjoy what we have in store with these changes.

[h2]Game Updates[/h2]

• [h3]HYPERSPACE CAMPAIGN CHANGES[/h3]
  - In Hyperspace Campaign, Incursion Rate now does not increase during battle, but as a result of events taking place. Some events can trigger drastic rises in Incursion Rate, making the player's choice of action have more weight.
  
  - As Sector Clear Progress increase, so does the rise in Incursion Rate, hence difficulty spikes in the late game.
  
  - At the end of every event, the Support Craft now automatically gets called, giving an opportunity to prepare before warping to the next sector.
  
  - There is now no limit to the number of escort ships you can recruit from event rewards.
  
  
• [h3]NEW CAMPAIGN EVENT TYPES[/h3]
  - Non-battle events that can affect Sector Clear Progress and/or Incursion Rate
  - Base Defense (defend an allied base from invading enemy ships)
  
  - Special Missions (one-time limited events with high risk-high rewards)
  
  
  
• [h3]NEW TITLE SCREEN UI[/h3]
  

[h2]Bug Fixes[/h2]

• Various issues within Supply Depot events
  
• Space background generation issue on game modes other than Hyperspace Campaign
  

These updates are only available in the Beta branch, so you know the drill.
