[p]I'm excited to announce that Vega Chronicle is participating in Debut Festival 2025 hosted by gamedev.ist, starting on Thursday and continuing through the weekend. It will be awesome.[/p][p][/p]
v0.8.6-beta
[p]I'm excited to share version 0.8.6-beta, which incorporates feedback from the public play-test over the last two weeks. It includes:[/p]
[p]Pirates! "The only way to stop them for good is to find and destroy their bases" (and get the booty).[/p]
[p]More and better ancestral virtues, such as Cryo-tunneling: "Colonize frozen planets without a colony ship".[/p]
[p]Planet resources degrade if you over-exploit them: diversify your production for long-term sustainability.[/p]
[p]We've been hard at work making a demo version of Vega Chronicle so that folks can start playing and give us feedback to help shape the game. It's almost ready! [/p]
[p]We overhauled the Steam page: go check out the new descriptions, screenshots and gameplay video :)[/p]
[p]Here's a new gif

Diplomacy and trade update
[p]Hello friends![/p]
[p]This week we built a diplomacy system where you can trade and negotiate with other space-faring civilizations. We also added more music and sound effects.[/p]
[p]We set a goal to start play-testing the demo by the second week of July: we'll be asking for your help![/p]
