| Multiplayer (v0.8.0)major I've never put as much testing and work into a single update as I have this one. The last couple of weeks really did feel like the quiet before the storm, but the storm is finally here. Star Vortex now has full online multiplayer support . A huge thank you to everyone who helped test, both in real life and on Discord. This update is a lot more solid because of you guys. Alongside multiplayer, t… | 24967021 | |
| Close Combat (v0.7.5)major This... is a big update. The main feature is Close Combat, a completely new playstyle built around giant space swords, energy torches and aura weapons that reward diving in to groups of enemies. To support it, there's a brand new Gladiator secondary class, 13 new close-combat weapons, new legendary variants, a new starting ship, major drone and beacon improvements, and a much better radar/navig… | 23873039 | |
| Hotfix (v0.7.16) I don't usually post news for hotfixes but yesterday's update broke a few player builds. So, after some reflection and discussion, I've made a couple of changes listed below. Gravity Well Black Holes can be fun, but they ended up being more frustrating than enjoyable as a reaction effect. Due to that, the Corroding (Corrosive) + Disabled (Electric) reaction has been replaced with a Gravity Well… | 23350914 | |
| Sector 4 - Phase 1 (v0.7.11)major Sector 4 is finally here. Well, the first phase of it. I wanted to get as much content into the final part of the storyline as possible, so it has been split into three phases focused on charging the Singularity Key. This phase brings new ships, weapons, enemies, achievements (one hidden), and a couple of bosses waiting for you when you arrive. Alongside the new sector, this update includes a s… | 23068947 | |
| Mod Support (v0.7.0)major Ok, as mentioned in the last post... I kind of lost track of my plans over the last few weeks. It started when I was trying to figure out how I was ever going to follow through on adding mod support. Once I actually started though, I couldn’t stop... so here it is, much earlier than intended. Along with a bunch of other stuff that probably would’ve been out a couple of weeks ago if not for this… | 22747111 | |
| Hotfix (v0.6.22) A lot of testing for Star Vortex happens on Steam Deck, and I recently noticed the framerate taking a dive. This update improves performance there, along with gains on all lower-end systems. This is ongoing work, so if you notice FPS drops during specific fights or when using certain weapons, please let me know. Patch Notes Balance Changes • Shield Recharge upgrade increased from +5% to +10% pe… | 22424067 | |
| Hotfix (v0.6.16) This is a quick hotfix for some recent bugs. The experience bars have been displaying incorrectly above level 80 since a couple of updates ago. They should now always show correct numbers as it was using an old equation. It jumps two versions because the brief v0.6.15 update dropped some players levels incorrectly but that has now been resolved. Also, there is a fix for players with lots and lo… | 21683107 |
