Stardeus

Hey everyone!I wanted to reveal a bit of history and reasoning behind the new UI update. This was the 7th iteration of the UI. The first 6 are briefly documented in the art book (The Journey DLC), which will eventually be appended with the 7th iteration too. Let’s shine a light on some of the details for you, which should hopefully address some of the criticism the new UI has received. CollaborationThe UI rework was my collaboration with Mikhail Gofman aka Ingevar. He had an absurdly difficult task of reorganizing the chaotic, organically grown legacy UI into something coherent and easy to use. If we had more time and a bigger budget, the UI could have looked fancier, have animations, etc, but this isn’t a AAA game, and I have set up a long list of constraints and requirements to work with. Mikhail definitely nailed this job, I am very happy with the result!Hard ConstraintsAt the beginning of the collaboration with Mikhail, I set several constraints:Icons couldn’t change. Stardeus UI uses ~500 icons, all of them made by yours truly with questionable art skill. The time and budget wouldn’t allow us to redo any icons, so we had to keep the original ones.Programmatic layout. This mean

What's up, everyone! Work on the new major update is finally entering the final phase, and this is where we need your help! Like with all previous major updates, brave explorers are welcome to try it before everyone else and give us some feedback and bug reports. We can't disclose the full list of changes just yet (there are too many, and there will be a separate post about them on the day of public release), but the biggest difference will obviously be the new UI. People who tried it have all been loving it! When asked if they'd want to switch back to the old UI they've all said no! If you feel a bit skeptic about the new UI, please do us a favor and try it for yourself before posting your feedback. The new UI is so comfortable and easy to use that we've even removed the tutorials. Ain't nobody got time for that boring stuff anyway. Key information found in the tutorials will be moved into the Codex, and will be always easily accessible at all times. Here's how you can try the new update: Right-click Stardeus in your Steam library.Choose "Properties."Select the "Betas" tab.Choose "experimental" from the dropdown.

Because there was always going to be some drama in deep space right? Stardeus is a spaceship colony sim that just expanded in a huge way. Read the full article here:

Greetings, Space Travelers! Get ready for the next level of immersion: the new Story and Drama (v0.14) major update has just dropped, and it will have as much if not more impact on gameplay as the massive Bioverse update did about a year ago! We also have a couple of videos ready for this update. Here's one by RonEmpire, aimed more at new players: And a longer, more detailed one by Spajus: Let’s take a look at the most noteworthy changes. New Story Generation System {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38884233/ba56f7d8a75383005f76b22d284272cb24228037.jpg The original story generation system had remained mostly unchanged since it was first designed back in 2020. It had plenty of flaws and wasn’t flexible enough to deliver the level of quality expected from Stardeus today. Because of this, it was redesigned and rebuilt from the ground up. The new system is modular, highly flexible, and easy to tweak. It allows for the implementation of story events of any variety, and much of the new content in this update wouldn’t have been possible without it. The new story generator may still have some imbalances and flaws, but we will continue to improve and refine it to meet your expectations - we’re waitin
