Here is a small demo of what happens when every part on the ship is overheating - something that won't happen a lot, but still fun to try. We've posted[/url] a brief update about the game status on Steam. basically, we're not going to do Early Access anymore, we'll get straight to release this fall. Check it out for more details

I always think Steams early access is a bit of a double edge sword for indie devs although it give a game great exposure you will always get muppets leaving negative review. Look forward to seeing the game Stranger when you decide to release it.

Hi guys ! Here are some new screenshots from the game. We've been heavily working on the core game mechanics (traveling, menus, switching ships etc), and we're going to move on with the strategic AI. We have a realistic economy, so we need to ensure it stays in a working state, right now we have actual economical crises

Nice any new video.

[Stranger]

We don't have new videos, no. I want to do one soon, but it's very time-consuming.

[Pinback]

If you do get some free time maybe some short videos (1 or 2 minutes) about different aspects of the game eg ships,combat, trade, space ect instead of one long one.

[Stranger]

We do have screenshots, though. Here is one with some added details...

[Stranger]

Aaaand some more UI ! 

[Stranger]

That's no moon. That's a space station !We've added a[/url] lengthy devblog article about economy and trading. Check it out !

Nice how the release schedule, still on for this year or has it been pushed back?.

[Stranger]

We had to push the release to early 2017. The bulk of the team is just two people, and we're trying to do this right, so it takes time.

[Stranger]

Stranger. What are the min specs going to be? Looks really nice btw Reminds a bit of X Rebirth

[Stranger]

Thanks ! The "min" specs are quite hard to define. I'm working with an older Intel i7 and a GTX 970, so that's the spec for the max settings. The CPU is the complicated part, because it's so intensive right now. We're working on optimization a lot these days, but basically we simulate everything - every engine, thruster, weapon does some processing at every frame... So it's hard to say, but the goal is to have the game run on any Intel i5 CPU.

Cheers mate

[Stranger]

Hi guys ! Here is a short preview of our collision avoidance system. 15 ships flying around each other at high speed - no casualties !
