Hey everyone! We're excited to bring you a fresh update to the Starship Crafter Demo during Steam Next Fest! Based on your feedback and our ongoing development, we've made some significant changes to improve the overall experience. Here's what's new:
Gameplay Overhaul: From Turn-Based to Real-Time Flow
One of the biggest changes in this update is the shift away from the turn-based approach. We listened to feedback and realized that the day cycle needed to feel more fluid and natural. The gameplay now flows in a more continuous, real-time manner, making your time in the workshop feel dynamic and immersive rather than rigid and segmented. This change makes managing your contracts, crafting, and upgrades feel much more engaging.
Mini-Games Removed
We've decided to remove the mini-games from the demo. While they were an interesting experiment, we felt they were distracting from the core experience of crafting and building starships. By streamlining the gameplay, we want you to focus on what matters most: running your workshop, fulfilling contracts, and paying off that debt!
New Language Support: Russian & Turkish
Starship Crafter is now available in three languages! We've added full Russian and Turkish localization, including interface text and subtitles. Whether you speak English, Russian, or Turkish, you can now enjoy the full demo experience in your preferred language.
Bug Fixes & Improvements
We've squashed a number of bugs reported by our amazing community. Key fixes include:
Various UI fixes and quality-of-life improvements
Performance optimizations for smoother gameplay
Fixed issues with contract system interactions
General stability improvements
