Dear players,

While more and more beta testers join the testing of Galactic Crew II, I get more e-mails with feedback from you. I am excited that the overall feedback is very positive, but I know that there is still a lot to do. In this week's dev log, I want to give you a short preview of the next two updates.

The first update is planned for next week around 9th April. It will fix most of the bugs that were reported over the past couple of weeks. I am currently waiting for translators to do their work. Meanwhile, I am working on several quality-of-life improvements that were requested by you. I won't be able to fix all bugs until next week, because some of them are hard to reproduce or need more work to solve. But I think there is going to be an intermediate update right before the release that fixes all remaining issues. I will give a detailed report of what has changed and fixed once the update is live.

The next major update with new content is planned for mid-May, shortly after the Early Access release. I will give in-depth previews of all new features in this weekly dev log series once the bug fix update is out. However, I want to give you a glimpse of what's coming. The update will focus on exploration.

There will be a new story line that focuses on exploring planets and dungeons. Once you complete it for the first time, you will unlock an entirely new playable race!

There will be three new rooms for your colonies: fusion reactors, recruitment beacons and chemistry labs. The lab will come with brand-new recipes for you to craft, including useable items that will come in handy in combat!

There will be an new type of dungeon with a new game mechanic to summon boss monster that are way harder to kill, but guarantee jewelry drops! There are also new dungeon rooms with new features and new resources you can collect while exploring dungeons.

In addition, new missions, space events and quests are being written doubling the number of available quests! There will also be a new type of quest/mission: Rumors.

I hope you are as excited as I am. If you encounter any bugs or if you want to send me any feedback, feel free to send me an e-mail to support@galactic-crew.net.

Kind regards, Benjamin
