Celestial Command News

Greetings. As some of our blog readers may know, the countries we live in are currently at war, which imposes certain difficulties on development. Unfortunately, the situation is not improving, which hinders us from fully dedicating our attention to the development of this game.

At the moment, we have to take care of some other matters to ensure the safety of ourselves and our families. As a result, we are unable to devote the necessary attention to the development of Celestial Command, which has significantly slowed down and is almost on hold. We don't like this either, but external circumstances force us to adjust our plans.

However, we can promise that the development of this game will not be completely abandoned under any circumstances, as it is our first and long-standing project that holds great significance for us. Therefore, development will resume as soon as possible.

According to our estimates, within 6-12 months, we will be able to implement our plans to stabilize the situation for us, and then we will return to active development and release updates to bring the game to full release.

We hope for your understanding and thank you for your support.

Improvements

• Step height change on R F buttons is now independent of module size (making it more convenient), and a tool-tip has been added that you can hold Shift to change the step
  
• If you try to build a ship in the editor without a command module, with multiple command modules, or if they are of incompatible types, the game will display a warning message.
  
• Some missing elements added to the localization table
  

Fixes

Balance

• In orbital mode, default planet size has been reduced, but it can be increased back in world settings.
  
• In orbital mode, asteroid orbit is higher to reduce tidal forces, and the starting position of the ship is also within this belt.
  

Greetings!
We have implemented a new tool, which allows to infuse a festive atmosphere into your ships. With this tool, you can easily adorn your ships with holiday lights. These lights can be positioned between any two points on the ship's surface, and you have the flexibility to customize their colors to suit your preferences.





Placing multiple controllers allows you to independently assign colors to different groups of lights.



Feel free to share on Steam or Discord how you decorated your ships.
Happy Holidays!
