Hi everyone,

We are now done with new features on demo3 and doing only bug fixing on it until it is stable. The key features in Demo3 will be:

new replay engine shows you the moves and cards played by your opponent

tool tips tell you about the game when you play for the first time

new graphics for sectors you haven’t revealed yet give you more information about what to expect

custom maps including random and reflected layouts. Each sector can now have its own mini deck!

lots of balance changes, in particular tech2 and 3 curved down and colony ship costs adjusted

Outreach

Sebastian wrote a Gamasutra article that reviewed what went well and not so well on our recent Kickstarter.

Jayce Stock and Cedric de Leeuw have been added to our team. Jayce is our new voice on twitter and Cedric you will know as someone who made an amazingly cool fan videos for us. Cedric is helping us to make a nice video for competitions and to send to investors.

Investors is our biggest focus right now, and getting the core game completed sufficiently enough that we can present it and submit it to various conventions for prize considerations.

Otherwise we have a podcast recording done! So by next week this should start appearing.
