New Stars DevLog #18 - 1000 Wishlists, Ship Improvements, and more.
A few features and improvements that have been worked on, such as improvements with the solace ship builder, and bug fixes. October was a relatively slow month of development due to previous IRL events, but those events have passed.
[h2]Thank you for 1000 wishlists![/h2]
For half of 2023, I thought there were only 20 wishlists and it wasn't changing, but after realizing I was reading the wrong data all along, I was surprised that the real number was actually 50 times higher.
[h3]Some improvements have been made with ships...[/h3]
Ships now go around planets...
Ships now have a destroyed explosion VFX...
Ships now indicate clearly if they are healing...

[h3]The last update before (early-access) release...[/h3]
It is most likely that multiplayer support will be not be worked on for the upcoming early-access release in 2023, as I would rather double down on the core features and focus on getting them right first with mostly bug fixes and tweaks, and mainly focusing on animated combat and VFX for now.
Here is how animated combat has evolved since December 2022:
First prototype (Dec. 2022):
Second trailer (Apr. 2023):
In Development:
