Your Gemini Milestone is Here Pilots!

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]

We’re happy to report the Gemini milestone launch date has finally arrived!

The intent behind this milestone is to make things much easier and more accessible for new Pilots who are strapping in for the first time. For our veteran Pilots we've expanded gameplay, balanced weapons, and fixed almost 1,000 bugs.

New training and navigation tools should help beginner Pilots get up to fighting speed quickly. We’ve also introduced attractive new map variants and with a richer weapon set, which means we’re looking forward to hearing your insightful feedback.

[h3]Navigation : All New Mini Map[/h3]

Matt B has been working hard on core systems, but based on Pilot feedback he’s added a new navigation system to help you quickly determine where the nearest objectives or threats are located. This new system not only shows where friendlies and enemies are located, but now one can locate oneself in the space theater and aboard capital ships.



[h3]AI Bots[/h3]

AI fighting AI. Artificial Intelligence is one of the core themes in Project Genesis lore, but now you can actually play against AI! These specialized AI have been developed by Anatoliy G. (AKA BubbleGum in Discord and are only in their first iteration. Expect to see species of these units emerge as we move forward in our development timeline.

[h3]New Proteus Map Variant[/h3]

For your gameplay viewing pleasure, Mark Nicolino has added a new Proteus snow map variant. Now you can experience the otherworldly views in a high contrast icy blue and white landscape.

[h3]Weapons[/h3]

Our second pass using the new weapons system developed by Matt B and has been completed by Terry H. We’ve got a ton of work to do on the weapons so your input is crucial to helping us ensure solid play balance with the most lethal aspect of Project Genesis gameplay mechanics (besides accidentally crashing into asteroids).

[h3]Get Your Friends to Play for Free![/h3]
And last but not least, for the first time ever, we are making Steam’s Playtest option available to new players. You have probably seen our previous announce, but this feature is so cool we thought it bears repeating.
