Between the Stars News

Hello everyone,

We would like to announce that, starting today, Isolated Games will also be in charge of developing Travellers Rest, currently available on Early Access on Steam, Gog and Humble. For months we have been in contact with the development team behind Travellers Rest and, for private reasons, Louquo has decided to retire from the game’s production and grant us complete control of the project.

Although we know this has not been an easy decision, we can guarantee that the game has been left in good hands. Isolated Games will be in charge of finishing the project, incorporating a wealth of new content and functions that the community has been asking for.

Although we are a small studio, and while we are very much looking forward to continuing the project that is Travellers Rest, we will continue working on Between the Star’s workflow in exactly the same manner. In order to do that, we have doubled our staff, maintaining two teams to work in parallel so that Between the Stars won’t be affected in the least.

As a special thanks to all our players, we’d like to offer a discount for Travellers Rest to anyone who has acquired Between the Stars. Thank you so much for your support!

The Isolated Games team.

Greetings, Spacefarers!

We bring you great news! Chapter V is now available on the beta branch, and we plan to release it on the default branch in around two weeks!

[h3]What's new?[/h3]
Chapter V continues the main storyline and adds:

• More than 30 new main missions.
  
• Two new ships.
  
• New wingmen.
  
• More than 900 new voice clips.
  

As many of you know we planned to have had Chapter V be the end of the main storyline, but finally we have decided to extend the story a little more so that it won't be finished until the next update of the main story missions, which will possibly coincide with the launch of version 1.0.

[h3]How can I play the beta?[/h3]
First of all keep in mind that the beta version could have bugs and errors and it could damage your saved game, so first of all make a backup of your save data.
