Heres a little sneak peek at the updates coming soon to the live build of Starmetal Crusaders! I've been working hard to continue pushing the game's identity forwardboth visually and mechanically. Each faction is receiving a unique HUD setup while in Commander Mode to help reinforce their identity, improve gameplay clarity, and make each playthrough feel more distinct. Whether you're controlling the tech-heavy Blue Faction or the fast-paced Red Faction, your HUD will now reflect that personality, making gameplay more immersive and easier to read at a glance. The Crusader HUD UI has also been overhauledbut this time with a universal design across all Crusaders. Since they share similar input layouts, the unified HUD ensures a consistent experience no matter who you're playing, while still feeling sleek and responsive. Expect cleaner UI, and more visual flair to highlight your Crusaders status and actions. This is just a small preview of whats in store. There's still more to polish and finalize before it goes live, but I hope youre as excited as I am to see these changes in action! As always, thank you for your continued supportyour feedback keeps the project moving strong. Feel free to drop by the Discord or leave a comment in the Steam Discussions if you have any thoughts or ideas! [previewyoutube=jJk-GYq19Ow;full][/previewyoutube]
