Ahoy there Trailblazers!

Patch Notes

• Crossover Craziness!
  • Brick M. Stonewood from Starr Mazer has signed up with Galaxy Force. He may be a contractor, but his results speak for themselves!
  • Moonman has been sighted lurking around on a nearby planet. Embark on an Away Mission and help that grinning fella!
• Away Missions
  • Two new Away Missions! All current star maps have been updated so that you can check ‘em out.
    • Note: the art for these Away Missions have not been finished, so don’t be confused if we’re telling you you’re on a spaceship and you’re still on a planet.
• Encounters
  • Four new encounters added into the loop with fancy arts!
• Officer & Redshirt Bridge Animations
  • All Captains, Officers, and Redshirts are now tricked out with props and animated! Check ‘em out on the Bridge and the Away Missions!
• Balance Updates
  • Critical Successes are now more rewarding, considering how rare they are.
  • During Encounters, you can no longer pick options that you have no resource in.
    • E.g, if an option risks food, and you have no food, you can’t do that anymore!
  • Captains and Officers stats have been rebalanced.
    • A few characters had duplicated stats, and we’re working on trying to have an even stat distribution.
    • We are still aware Attack is the least represented stat! We’ll be addressing that in a future update.
• Added a How to Play Screen
  • This can be accessed from the OPTIONS menu at any time!
  • Let us know what you think, and if there’s still anything that’s confusing!
• Sound Effects
  • Added more sound effects for various UI elements and animations. Space was never so loud!
• Various Bug Fixes and Tweaks
  • Squashed small bugs, fixed typos, introduced new typos.

Ultra Cool Space Features

• A high-stakes and hilarious journey through the strange, stupid and terrifying locales of the Orion Trail!
  
• Choose your crew, name them after your friends, and watch them die! Heroically! Or, you know, maybe they’ll survive. Anything can happen!
  
• Tons of random encounters, each with a variety of options and outcomes. You’ll probably never encounter the same thing twice! You might, though.
  
• Away Missions! Send an Officer (with a few of your invaluably expendable Redshirts) into the fray. The rewards are great, but so is the risk…
  
• Carefully manage your Resources: Food, Fuel, Hull, and Redshirts. Curse loudly as they’re whittled away.
  
• Play to your strengths! Each captain, and officer provide different bonuses to increase your chances of success.
  
• Succumb to the chaos of the Probability Drive. You can rely on your Crew’s abilities, but there are no certainties in space.
  
• Chiptune soundtrack by Rainbow Kitten.
  
• Gorgeous retro pixel art.
