1.0.5.0_O

Stellaxy Classic
A downloadable game for Windows

Massive update that I've been working on for a good bit. The current goal in development is:

  • To clean up the game a little, cutting out portions that don't make sense or are just inconvenient.
  • Add hotkeys for more advanced players
  • Overhaul rushed features
  • Make the game feel more "complete"
  • "Trim the fat" in the game and focus on features that were originally planned

During this time, it is critical to make your voice heard! If you liked a particular feature that gets removed, leave a comment, send an email, a tweet and we can find a way to work it back into the game, or make a similar feature available. Either way, hope you all enjoy the updates :)

1.0.5.0_O Changelog

Features

  • EXPLORATION MODE!
    When naming your Universe (The seed for your save) you can hold alt while pressing enter to play in Exploration mode! In this new game mode you will skip all of the tutorial and tutorial quests / story. Perfect for players who just want to fly around and explore.
  • Shift + Enter to skip menus!
    For more advanced users who just want to skip straight to landing or to the Galaxy Map, you can skip the menus for planets and stars by holding left shift.
  • Rover Hotkeys!
    Another feature for advanced users! While using your rover you can now press M to mine or C to charge instead of opening the menu and selecting the option. 
  • Sell All Button!
    We've all been there. Trying to sell ores and getting annoyed trying to just sell all of it at once! Now you can press Delete while selecting ore that you have to sell all of it! This speeds up the grind significantly.
  • Save Migration Tool!
    You can now go into the Options menu and load a save you have from older versions of Stellaxy! This mostly just applies to Itch.io users, but may apply to some Steam users
