[p]Take a seat because this is a big one! First off, I want to thank you all for getting Spacefleet: HEAT DEATH to 11.7k wishlists as of writing. This past week (and month) has been very nerve-wracking but also exciting for me. I'm glad I can finally share with all of you the full version of HEAT DEATH, which I've poured my entire week into. I hope you like it![/p][p][/p][p]FEATURE[/p][p]FREE DEMO[/p][p]EARLY ACCESS[/p][p]Prometheus Scenario[/p][p]Yes[/p][p]Yes[/p][p]Core Combat[/p][p]Yes[/p][p]Yes[/p][p]New Ships[/p][p]Yes[/p][p]Yes[/p][p]Custom Faction and Campaign[/p][p]No[/p][p]YES![/p][p]Skirmish Mode [/p][p]No[/p][p]YES![/p][p][/p][p]If you would leave an honest review of the game and its demo, that would be awesome as it helps me out a ton! There's still a lot of work to do and HEAT DEATH will be very different a year from now. Speaking of, I wanted to cram in Strategic Scene AI Factions but decided to move it to after the release so I can give it the time it deserves and for it to not come out as a buggy mess as well. So yes, AI Factions will be the next major update I'll be working on.[/p][p]Going forward, I plan to send out a new update every week, for bug fixes and minor updates, and a major update every month. Though depending on the complexity of the feature, it might take more or less time, of course.[/p][p]So, before you buy, check the changelog below to see if it's worth your time and money. If you'd rather wait until the game has more features, totally understandable! Thank you for sticking around, and for all your support.
