Firstly, thanks to everyone who's bought the game so far, and thanks to everyone for taking the time to send in your bug reports. I'm sorry this game launched with any bugs in but, that's the nature of the beast, right? Here's what we've fixed:

• Fixed an issue where settings and quit buttons weren't showing in the production version of the game
• Similarly, fixed a bug that meant that the login screen had been locked out
• Fixed an issue with crafting where recipes weren't acknowledging that players had selected the correct resources
• Fixed an issue where only one probe could be dropped in a system, and the game would need to be restarted or ship jumped to a new system to probe again

If you have bugs to report, drop them in our Discord. Or, if you prefer email, drop us an email at bts@adamgreen.tech

Between Two Stars is a 2D procedurally generated space exploration game. Players take control of a newly constructed Pytheas class starship, as part of a simulation on behalf of the Orpheus Corporation and explore the Sierra Galaxy via their ship's jump drive to discover new worlds and new materials with which to trade, craft and build bases.

Explore

The Sierra Galaxy consists of approximately 500 million star systems to explore, each with different configurations of raw materials to be harvested. The procedural generation means each star system consists of anywhere between one and a dozen planets, with their temperature, mass, atmospheric conditions all determined by their proximity to their star (or stars).

Harvest

Harvest planetary samples by building and deploying probes. Probes gather samples of the planet's raw materials. Every star system has a different makeup of minerals, gases and chemicals - each of which have different strengths and weaknesses, that affect their crafting quality. Some planets are capable of supporting life, allowing players to harvest not only inorganic materials but flora and fauna from the planet.

Craft

Craft better ship parts, such as engines, jump drives, power generators, and comms arrays - or use materials to build new bigger and better ships, or space stations. Need more resources? Build mining and harvesting platforms to harvest minerals in a system whilst you're offline or away exploring.

Trade & Socialise

Build space stations to control a system, and get a cut of the traffic and trade that flows through it. Build marketplaces on your station to allow players to trade the raw materials they find or the objects they craft with one another whilst taking a cut of the credits that change hands. Build better comms array for your ship so that you can receive messages from systems further away and cast a participate in a wider community.
