Early access v 0.5 - some minor improvements

This build adds a way to assign hotkeys in order to quickly select different groups of units. To define a hotkey, keep any key pressed while you do a selection (by drawing a rectangle or clicking on an unit), you will then be able to retrive that selection by pressing the key. It works with every key of your keyboard, except space, tab and esc (used as shortcuts everywhere else). This was asked early on in the dev. I may keep the explanation of that in the "how to play" page for now. Also, this build includes some bug corrections: - Single; The golem is not attacking you anymore when you summon him. - Single/MP: There can be only one Chaos in the area where you are. So if you tried to build a Chaos you ended up with Anchiale instead, which was (really) annoying. Now you just can't merge Briareos and Narcissus, it won't work (except if there's no Chaos on the stage). - Single: Mixed some music and sound volumes. - MP: Added special attacks. Enjoy!

Devouring Stars - Soundtrack

There are so many games set in space, willingly limiting their scope to new instances of Star Wars-style ships, blasters and myths. Devouring Stars is an attempt at expanding the horizon of "celestial" games, focusing on the eerie beauty and poetry of distant stars, blackholes and mysterious corners of our universe.

What if you could litterally unhook the stars? What if you could be a galactic-sized entity?

In Devouring Stars you play a tribe of godlike entities trapped in Tartarus, a corner of the universe as far beneath hell as heaven is high above the earth. Hunted by 4 other tribes, you have been given the ability to draw your own fate. But to what extent?

Devouring Stars uses a couple of unique mechanics to create a different experience on the RTS and space exploration genre. Your entities have the ability to "devour" starfields, creating dynamic nebulas that will protect them. There's no tech tree or building facilities in Devouring Stars: your entities are able to merge in order to create advanced units with special abilities. Depending on the set of entities you start the game with, you will be able to go for different strategies that will evolve during the game.

Devouring Stars is mainly inspired by Dan Simmons' Illium but also by games like Homeworld, Eufloria, Starcraft or Faster Than Light.
