Please make certain to play the public base. There is a very special *(and almost deadly) stun package on the upper level of the large base.
Enjoy! And get some air, too.

We've added new texture maps to Jupiter and a NASA model of the Juno Spacecraft.
Have a look, Recruits.


A lot larger than it looks, here's Juno on the ground before takeoff:

Fixed Inventory/Care Packages not loading
- Added factories to Mars1 so you can research

Fixed Inventory/Care Packages not loading
- Added factories to Mars1 so you can research

We had a couple of reports the storage box broke on the Mars tutorial -so we are fixing that.

Upcoming patch...

• Tutorial storage case empty.. whaaaaa?
  
• Factories added to public so you can still research things.
  

• Stunner for 'pests' hiding at the top of a tower on shared public.
  
• There is a fix for the bug that "Kale doesn't trigger achievement" on the Lagoon, so you don't get earth-stuck for too long.
  
• Fixed a bug where you would not spawn and had no hands and feet on the beach - this occurred while we updated all the connection code to make it better - it stunk, but the new connection code is manufacturer-suggested (exit games - "photon" is what we use) and the new fix is holding and looks 100% so far (after the weekend) - good job Xefier and Khal
  

We are so sorry to the people that got stuck the last 3 days - but here it is!
We also made the orbit docking map public so you can go straignt there,

MP is Fixed Disconnects Solved.. Group multiplay is finally here! We tested everything and it all works, so enjoy.

Enjoy Enjoy! We get to sleep now!!!!!! ːsteamhappyː

New recruits - you need to earn your way into space, but dont' forget to use mouse pointer mode (look in the upper left) to help you build the Chiron.


****** PLEASE NOTE TURNING THE MOUSE POINTER ON AND OFF WAS A REQUEST ****

If you're not feeling it, let us know, but it's so the mouse isn't a pest and you can turn by looking.

Hiya.. I know you.re probably way busy, but if you have time, please opt into the special test build on internal by right -clicking your Star Rangers icon in the library... Find the beta tab and switch over.
All those fixes were there, but earlier today (and on the weekend, ow), the servers were acting funny. Let us know if you get the "spawn without a body" bug, because that means a server disconnected... Thank-you.
There's a lot of new physics in the engine update, so we have some bouncing floors - oddly... Thanks Kyleus for the great suggestions in the Discussion board
TTYS
Over and Out.
So Google "Aaron Persad" you'll see a friend of mine in the Possum astronaut program we will send one of the SR players to! Have a good night.

Ouch - we had some very bad bugs on the weekend as we tried to fix the multiplayer join, but we hope you can hang on a little longer so we can get those fixes in.

The sales have been good, and they really help us fix bugs, but oh my gosh the reviews in the last 24 hours were brutal.

If you can handle posting a good review - be 100% honest on the directions the game is going, both good and bad - please do, but only if you feel you can (thanks).

While the developers watered the cats and turned off the lights, a bad bad bug slithered into the build that stopped new players from continuing.

While I watch some of the new players groan and grovel on the sand on the lagoon, unable to move or launch their spacecraft, something else happened:

a miracle ! The game started selling well all over the world.

For those 9 players who got stuck in the mud while we tested a build I am really sorry, please come back and try again.

To all of you loyal supporters - well keep on keeping on; we've launched a contest to show our support as as soon as we collect another 90K or so in sales (to be very blunt), we'll be able to send one of you to astronaut training down in Florida.
When we do about 10 times as much we can send one of you up up and away.. (must be 18 ;) probably a couple of years from now.

The details to win are coming, and yes, it involves playing the game - of course.

Thanks Again,
Astronicus.


https://2017.spaceappschallenge.org/

_Hopefully_ this is done this morning for an upload later today.

New players need to be able to get into space with no problems (just the game ones), so there's a timer on the "HATCH" on the island, and there's also full testing going on today, before we push the new build.

I saw someone get stuck, so we'll just have to wait there until the full on upgrade. - Xefier is coming in to do a special before going home to sleep.

TTYS.

Please note - if you want to see the new features, jump from map to map on an established character in the "internal" branch.

You won't make it to Mars until this patch goes up if you're new...

:)

It's fixed and we're prepping it for you. ːsteamhappyː

Caught that one.

Have a great weekend!

We uncoverered an issue in the new rooms that was stopping people from being able to join.
In the new build coming tonight: (just let it update).

• rewrote the "join base" code from scratch over the last 36 hours - like seriously - just got rid of that old code.. ːsteamfacepalmː
  
• found and fixed that using Kale was not showing your secret base.
  
• while we were up, added Sweden, Australia and a pirate flag - sure and by request. ːsteamhappyː
  
• brightened up Lagoon terrain and some parallax issues
  
• took away wall climbing in the atrium as it has a multiplayer bug (for now), and let you float
  
• tidied up smoke streams generally as they had some lag issues.
  
• middle mouse button lets you turn and use the hidden stun gun in the new large public Mars 1 lookout tower on the highest floor (that's for those who read this far).
  
  

Enjoy! Star Rangers Spring Sale Starts Tomorrow

Making the switch now - make sure you "Properties Right Click" and OPT OUT of Beta (TAB), in case you have an old build.

We'll likely be moving the new build live in about 2 hours; this week we need to do a complete database dump of player data; so your character will restart their milestones (go to lagoon, then into space, then to Mars etc).

Fixed (Last Night):

- awful Chiron rocket launch bug
- multiplayer join fixes - less code, yay!

So, by request, an always-on map called Mars One is coming soon and will be available to play.
There's a few hard-to-find items around so enjoy (test defensive items and the artemis items you need).
Multiplayer has been overhauled so you may join maps with friends much more easily.
Sorry this took so long, truly, but at least it's fixed (that fix incidentally is in the current build - I see people running through the lagoon right now).
Don't twist the Lagoon rocket too much you will explode.

PLEASE NOTE: land carefully; if someone dies while you land, you will jump out. This bug has been fixed for early next week - but the two BIGGEST fixes are you may join other's maps with ease, and second, the game is much faster.


Enjoy the massive features changes - Unity Logo will go away shorty.

Engine Changes (unity 4 to Unity 5):

• Massive Physics upgrade (Performance and quality) Nvidia PhysX Updated from 2 to 3.
  Lighting, Reflections, and Rendering Quality has improved significantly.
  General Performance Increase (Higher Frame Rate)
  

Notes for the Upcoming Build
Who are the Star "Raiders"?
In the design of Star Rangers, the Raiders have always been a part of the story.
Someone, whom you suspect is Professor Thadeus, has been accepting candidates for body-modification.
These modifications include extra organs to survive the rigours of space and perform tasks such as replacing calcium, and keeping blood pressure in check on other organs such as the eyes - a very hard problem to solve in micro-gravity.
The concept of the Raiders is based on real science, and if the Raiders in the game happen to get in your way, well that's because they may not be very happy about the changes to their bodies in the long run.
They don't like Ranger habs, but they do like not having to work as hard to get their own supplies. Why?
Maybe you should find Thadeus and ask.


Previous Notes:
"RG, our resident artist designed these raiders to reflect an alternate near-future path to space exploration.
With body modification, such as extra, new and more resilient organs, such as kidneys, specialized, lungs and others, comes a risk. We know now that much of our identity and even "intelligence" is based on our own bodies: how we use and move in them. Will mankind change as we enter space. Change is coming, but will humans resist or try to change themselves fundamentally to enter deep space? Time will tell, but in the meantime, lets see what that might look like."

We're Listening.. !
Next Build Features:
-as we bring everything up to speed,
-we're adding a somewhat scary NPC (so far): the Star Raider.
- a persistent base for some fast loading gameplay so you can focus on objects like vehicles and plants rather than habs.
- Ceres is getting a mini-update as well, with one of the new persistent buildings and new airlock (from our end programming, yours: stability).

Right Click Star Rangers in your Steam Library
Select Properties
Click on the BETAS Tab
On the Drop-Down Menu Labelled "Select the beta you would like to opt into:" select "internal -"

We'lll tweak it up and then start rolling out new features and a new map!

Started this about 1 month ago.. Basically we are upgrading to the new game engine.

It is much faster - more to play with very soon.

Please enjoy version 1 of the Ceres Landscape.
There is a holiday easter egg if you care to hunt for it!

CERES

-Discovered: January 1,1801 by Giuseppe Piazzi of Italy (first asteroid/dwarf planet discovered)
-Size: 975 by 909 kilometers (606 by 565 miles)
-Shape: Spheroid
-Rotation: Once every 9 hours, 4.5 minutes - sped up to be about 1/3 of our accelerated earth day.

The object is known by astronomers as "1 Ceres" because it was the very first minor planet discovered. As big across as Texas, Ceres' nearly spherical body has a differentiated interior - meaning that, like Earth, it has denser material at the core and lighter minerals near the surface. Astronomers believe that water ice may be buried under Ceres' crust because its density is less than that of the Earth's crust, and because the dust-covered surface bears spectral evidence of water-bearing minerals. Ceres could even boast frost-covered polar caps.

Astronomers estimate that if Ceres were composed of 25 percent water, it may have more water than all the fresh water on Earth. Ceres' water, unlike Earth's, is expected to be in the form of water ice located in its mantle.

https://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/dawn/ceresvesta/index.html

"Dawn delves into the unknown and achieves what's never been attempted before. A mission in NASA's Discovery Program, Dawn orbited and explored the giant protoplanet Vesta in 2011-2012, and now it is in orbit and exploring a second new world, dwarf planet Ceres."

So I just wanted to ask for your patience as we work on bugs; thanks for it.

There are also some extra items showing up before Christmas - but the bugs are the primary item.

From a business side, we've got some hurdles to jump over before November, but we'll be there.

Thanks again for your patience.

Little side note: I know Elon Musk's designer on Facebook. If you have any questions about the new Mars ship, I can ask them privately for you.

While we work on of course, bugs, we thought we'd drop in another map. This is our universe after all, so who knows what we might find...


Next week I'll be posting a contest announcement.
_The_ contest for Early Access.

We’d like your review if you bought Star Rangers and here are some thoughts on the review system change - it's not all good news for a game like ours.

Thank-you to all that support Star Rangers with your words, thoughts, playtime, and pocketbook.

As I'm sure some of you are already aware, Steam has removed the counting towards a positive percentage all reviews written by those who activated games using a Steam key; i.e. those who bought the game elsewhere or was given it as part of the community (fundraising, humble bundle, flying bundle, community members). The reviews show up, but the thumbs up do not count in the overall rating. Sad.

Wot:
http://store.steampowered.com/news/24155/

Since Star Rangers started with a fundraiser (a hearty thanks again), anyone who in fact bought the game that way & received a key, and anyone working on the Intern team no longer has their reviews counted. That’s okay - but unfortunately, it means that our ratings don’t reflect about 50% of our players ( :( ), and enthusiastic ones, some of whom donated 50 or 200 dollars or even more. That’s very unfortunate because it means Mostly Positive suddenly became a Mixed Rating, and that affects how we build a community.

In response, the developers would like to ask, if you have time, those who have purchased the game to write a review. Please: be honest. Star Rangers grows from criticism, even Den’s [Khal made me write that DMJ :] because it allows them to grow and learn from those mistakes.

Personal Reflection from Dragon the Intern
When I, Christian, an intern, started working with the Development team, I was given charge of creating a group of game players, who have provided what we consider valuable feedback, and even more importantly, game time! The team also wrote reviews which are still posted, and yes, also flagged honestly we received the game for free, so that’s another group of supporters, that are not counted herein. But their feedback is important none the less.
-Dragon

Personal Reflection from Astronicus

On behalf of the Project Whitecard Team, I thank you all the players and supporters (Den, DMJ March, Flying Cheesecake, SydKhaos), and we shall continue to work hard to bounce back from this temporary setback, and we would have never gotten this far without all of you guys' support, and for that I thank you, and the people here at Project Whitecard thank you.

Reviews are honestly less important than the feedback you’re giving on the discussion board, and sales are up due to the Juno level.

Reviews for an Early Access game should take this into account the fact that it’s just so: Early Access.

But in conclusion, it’s actually better if we don’t have to focus on reviews too much, we’re slowly but surely finding our audience.

I built this game to have a platform to have fun with, and so let's celebrate that.

-Astronicus (Khal). :)

Hidden among the other things in the _Internal_ build (see last announcement in "News" for how to load it), is to-scale map where you can check out the Jupiter Spacecraft, now in orbit around Jupiter.
Enjoy the new map selection. Thanks Xef.

The new Star Rangers build is now internal for QA testing http://steamcommunity.com/app/333340/discussions/0/350540974014596086/

Map Selection has been replaced and needs thorough testing:
- Test Create Base, My Bases, Join Base windows
- Test game type selector when creating a base
- Test join map filtering (If you can only see Earth then you should only see Earth rooms when joining)
- Test deleting character then progressing from Earth to Mars (Should only see available maps as you progress)
- Test creating a base then loading through Load Base
- Test Continue button (Make a home base)
- Test leaving mars in a Chiron
- Test Join auto-refresh (Have someone create a room while you're sitting in the join window)
- Test room passwords (Shouldn't be able to join a room without the correct password)
- Test "Test Levels" checkbox (Filters Create/Join to only show test maps)
- Test new Juno map (Test Level)

Small Update:
Up next is the patch for the Map selection, as mentioned before.
Following that we'll take a close look at the doors on the habs, and their functionality, rewriting it as much as needed.
A Juno map will be added of Jupiter orbit, so that you may view the current mission.

Just a reminder - the map selection and join and create is being rewritten from the ground up it's the next thing to be released, and soon.

That is the most important bug, and the second most important one was making the lagoon gameplay smooth (blueprints are automatically researched for the rocket parts when you arrive.
Thanks for sticking by - I see a lot of new players today.
Take care.
Khal.

Here's a little Video
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G-1HWJm4n0Q

Enjoy.

Star Rangers Lagoon Update.
-Fading on Teleports Update.
-Easier Blueprints in Lagoon Update (Finally).
-Improved Elevators on Lagoon (new meshes).
Zero G in Atrium Update(!)
-Player Can climb on walls.

We are working on the level selection for next patch.

Thanks!

-Astronicus

We're only going to work on Bugs for the next 8 weeks at least, so please let us know of any whoppers.
It's important also to toss old aspects that are no longer needed (such as picking up items on the lagoon table).
We hope you're enjoying the First person and new control aspects, so let us know what is tossing you sideways the most.
Talk to you soon,
Astronicus.

We're going to fix up the ease with which one can operate the underwater printer.
An extension of parts assembly using the Artemis as an example is coming...

A few things:


- Artemis is working.
- Creative Mode is too Liberal ; we will have special maps for creative mode in the near future and not a switch - enjoy it while you can.
- In anticipation of the astronaut training contest, the long-term goal of creative mode is to have people be able to create their own maps to share.
- Blueprint for rations is at this very moment being prepped for the next release

"Chassis-Building" - the real gamechanger.


Artemis is based on the attached design:



and in order to "have" one, you'll have to research some parts and build it with the addition of an IOR (intelligent order recognition), which will assemble it from those funny jacks, rockets. chairs, and blocks you see on the test level - that's planned for very soon. Hit the same pattern, and you'll get an artemis.

Here's close- to done flying...
:)

That's it for now!

New build is live, full changelist will be uploaded tomorrow.

Main fixes:
- Objects falling out of habitats
- Hexpot issues

A little more fun to tide you over while we work on the bugs...

We pushed a fix to the connection problems inside the habs (that came from creating a feature to hold onto items inside the habs).

Here's the RoadMap - we're trying a Hotfix Today - for Hab Connections and Creative mode(!!!) You will love spawning things in creative, I assure you.

Known Bug - Trying to Connect Objects Inside the Hab - we'll be working on this - sorry for the bug - it's because we now keep objects inside the hab when they shake and move; we're working on it.

The build is finally up; we had a lot of trouble getting the input fixed (it's new), so please let us know how it goes.

Known issues:
- In multiplayer, clients will see newly spawned habitats fidget (Anchoring or reloading map should fix the issue)
- Pressing O and P at the same time toggles all menu visibility on/off (Recently discovered as cause for flag input disappearing, will be fixed in the next release)

We also did quite a few other things with the Habs and Ior hunting and so on, but it's not right to push it until we checked the bugs. *

-_-_-_-_Astronicus Out-_-_-_-_

* Planned for Morning of July 29th/2016 - Watch for Updates

Sign up to the Official Mailing List for Star Rangers for news outside the norm!

http://eepurl.com/b_vb1T

Happy camping, Recruit!

We've been mostly working

-on the interface; making it cleaner and the hotkeys programmable.
-We also are making things stay put in the Habs, even when you move them and that's important, so people don't get spaced by accident.

As well Humble Bundle has Added Us
https://www.humblebundle.com/store/star-rangers


So if you've got a buddy you can give to charity and save a little on the purchase.

Thanks all and talk to you soon.

Thanks Billy ! Check the news: better tutorial on the way.
Peace!

Please, don't forget your battery in the correct slot.

One of the updates coming next week! I think this was MrWarDJ's idea, and Denn, your waypoints "off" is back in the mix, too.

. My Floor: It is Not Solid!

It seems the number one thing to do is get the items to stop falling through the floor.

We have an approach that we are working on.

2. IOR Visibiility

A Iittle OR was added to our new build a couple of days ago. IORs are attached to datacaches. We want to give people a reason to explore the maps., and that's a good one.

3. Controls

We also hear you about how to announce controls. We're going to add a list right at lagoon start. Maybe some "trials" for 4 below - control testing.

4. Tutorial Lagoon Add?

What do you want to see here? Control tutorial seems high on the list.

There's demand - what's most important? A Hab? Blueprint Research?

These were always around, but now they are datacaches and you'll be able to track them better.

Change list:
r7149
- Fixed saving always failing for new characters
- Fixed repetitive character deletion after deleting character once
- Added Inventory loading progress
---------------------
r7148

---------------------

Fixed game type text (Stuck on Pre-Game). Removed spendable experience from the HUD.
---------------------
r7146
Improved MouseMode toggling. Fixed exit-text on story window.

If you have a saving issue (so bad that loading hangs ), please report it. We're trying
to make sure everyone gets the new patch as soon
as possible - so it will help if we can read those
As we work on if.
Thanks!

Just Check it out... enjoy and thanks for demanding it.

Just a heads-up: we've got Feedback that we should drop the price a little from what we launched at with the discount.

We promise to make it up to the early adopters as we learn the Steam store rules and bonuses for players. I wanted to let you know before it happens (it still needs to be approved by Steam, however.).

Good old Notch did something similar back in the day [Minecraft], and since I once crashed his party in San Francisco where he had hired the supergroup "NERO" for his own music, he must know a thing or two.

Then we'll go to 19.99 at Beta later, much later, and then around ~30 for the launch, leaving early access.


Update:

Update coming really soon - here's a taste of the First Person so many of you demanded.

Thanks and Talk Soon,.

MrWarDJ made a nice little guide (I think you need to make it public?), and I a phat screenshot of the techtree posing as a guide so Gibson can see it . Have a great weekend everyone and thanks for getting us off on the right foot with early access.ːsteamhappyː

I just want to add a note and say thanks to all the people who made this happen this week; we really couldn't have done it without players being there for the soft launch, and it feels great.

It's a crazy amount of work to make a game like this, and there is a lot to come. We're following Valve's suggestion of making regular but important updates, with bug tweaks here and there (a lot of you are surviving a little longer than you _should_ on Mars and at least one dev will tackle that on the weekend; talk soon.

-Khal

Hi everyone, we thought it was pretty important to fix the hab flying issue and the tutorials immediately, so that's done now. Right-click to force your update to download. There was also a Joanna chat issue which we might have fixed - let us know.

Watch Juno!

The Star Rangers video game is now released on Steam Early Access, the name of the game service owned by Valve, the world's preeminent publisher of games. Star Rangers will be featured prominently on the store while it’s gaming community works with the developers to refine it and create opportunities for user-created content, like music, texture, and stories.
Khal Shariff, a creative developer and CEO of Project Whitecard Studios in Winnipeg, Canada, spent part of the last year completing an office network with launch partners in Seattle and Florida, as part of Canadian Digital Media Network's Soft Landing program.
While his team finished the scientifically-accurate game that's been 28 months in the making with a budget of 2.8 Million dollars that took as many more months to raise, Khal made use of time with Valve in Seattle in the spring to refine Whitecard's corporate culture and marketing plan for Star Rangers, scoped out an office downtown, and audited astronaut training in Florida with partner Project Possum.
Future space explorers may finally play the Star Rangers video game on their PC, Mac or Linux computer through the Steam store. Star Rangers is a game that allows game players to experience being an astronaut, realistically, in the near future, about the year 2035.
The game includes information on the solar system, which was provided by NASA, assistance from the University of California Irvine, who in turn brought the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and the MacArthur Foundation to back the endeavour to introduce real science content into a video game. The Canada Media Fund also backed the effort with about 1 million dollars to produce the game. An original musical score was funded by Factor (dot) ca with Winnipeg musicians and has arrived on iTunes.
Project Whitecard, the company who developed the game, has worked with the Canadian Space Agency and NASA on other projects developing innovative education platforms, and has lately expanded into education and medical uses for virtual reality (another technology that Valve in Seattle is pioneering).
Star Rangers is being developed with the Steam store community’s involvement. With this approach to development, the creation of Star Rangers will now progress in the direction the community chooses and contributes to, such as emphasizing asteroid-mining, or ramping up buildings for Mars habitats.
Star Rangers is a robust, multiplayer open ‘sandbox’ of the local solar system incorporating NASA content, and with an emphasis on surviving and thriving on worlds other than Earth. The game has been in private beta on Steam for several weeks already, for vocal members of its fan base. The beta features over 6 maps on Mars, including the Victoria Crater, the Million Mounds area of the Moon, and a best-guess depiction of what it’s like under the ice on Europa.
Those who have participated in the beta will be able to continue enjoying the game as it moves over to Steam Early Access.
The game may be purchased on http://star-rangers.com
Star Rangers will award official Mozilla Digital badges for building and operating custom rocket-sleds, asteroid mining operations, rovers, robot operations, and the kind of activities that you'd expect any striving astronaut to complete.

Well that's the last bug working - habs stay connected when you come back, and also joining another player's map.
There's a bit of bouncing.
We'll see you in the morning!

The hint was also updated to tell you to press the "Use" button rather then pressing "T".

Issues with Health and Radiation while loading the maps that are large is fixed (you do not get hungry or radiation while the map is loading).

Changed Running Jump to New fun roll and Assist Climbing Hills (collider height moves while jumping).
Changed Bug where you took damage on loading.
Changed Windfarms and Reflectors so you cannot build them inside a hab (destroys the hab).
Stopped solar reflector from tipping over.
Changed experience points exploit of dropping and picking up your own minerals to pick-axe experience points.
Fixed bug where you die while climbing ladder and connecting habs at same time.
Cleaned up shaders error causing some people to crash.
Sometimes Game Stops - Stare at Nothing – caused by above or clicking on things while in Hab.

Added Spectrum datacache upgrade – datacaches are permanent – find some on test level N. Montes to try.

TO DO :
Bart Parts

Temporarily rolling back to 1.0.0.3b due to a critical error in 1.0.0.4b.

Fixed Chiron Rocket so that gravity pulls it down.
Added important killzones to game.
Fixed a bug whereby the maps on Mars would not load if you had built a foundation block blueprint; also gracefully fails instead of pausing game at 98%
Added a Warning for killzones (ocean)
Added a jump ramp to the lagoon path.
Replace map colliders on the lagoon with killzone areas.
Updated Grace in Atrium to have heatsink dialogue.
Jump has been made faster in Earth Gravity. Arms still swing, but this is intentional at the moment. Known: needs to be able to leap over objects better.

Wanted to fix: Objects dropped sometimes go to the spawn point and not in front of the player (big bug thanks Den).

Shared missions for all players on the base (completed together).

The new build has contextual help, yes, but we also solved loading issues with old inventory and duplicated blueprints.

In addition the IIC interface has been added and some objects (the trike can be updated).

That means, there will be upgrades for completing the science, and
coming:

Extra Achievement Badges for Upgrading and many more datacache hidden upgrades
spread throughout levels.

  Coming up:

Just a quick note to say - hey you should visit and live on Titan for a while- it's pretty cool. :)

Using NONE if player has abandoned home base.

This is due to our saving server being updated.
We are aware you cannot currently save your bases and are working on a fix that includes "Abandon Base" .
In fact - the base you see will be one from a few days ago.
Apologies for the inconvenience.
