We're coming full circle! 3030 Deathwar Redux is launching today on itch.io!
3030 Deathwar started out its relaunched life as a Pay-What-You-Want title on itch.io. Because of the great response and the interest by players here, we finally made the decision to go all-out, and create a much more polished, highly expanded, new and improved version of the game, which resulted in Redux being made and getting published on Steam. So now we've finally come full circle and are launching the Redux version on itch as well. And to celebrate both our recent big modding update and the launch on itch, we are offering a 1-week 34% discount on the game!
Here's the Steam news for our modding update:
With this Update you'll be able to mod aaaall the game's data files. That includes scripting, missions, dialogue, characters, game locations. It also means you can add new ships, weapons and upgrades, translate the text files to another language, or even write personal side-quests and storylines for other players to explore. We've also included Steam Workshop support, through the use of two new included tools.
For one, there's the Mod Manager, which you can easily launch directly from Steam when starting the game. It will help you get started downloading and activating mods safely, and will also make it possible to easily deactivate or delete any mods you don't want anymore. All your original game files are backed up safely and can be restored in the Manager, so you don't have to worry about breaking anything!
The other tool is the new Mod Uploader. For those of you who want to create their own mods, it will help you quickly and easily set up a mod directory and get it submitted to the workshop. Once you've done that, you can hop right into your new mod folder and start editing away! We've also prepared a short tutorial on how to get started with creating your own mods here:

Besides the modding, we've also added a bunch of new features, like new station traffic, billboards and more effects around stations, a new enemy type on derelicts, a weapons recharge indicator and displays for weapon stats on the upgrade screen. (Oh, and the Ion Cannon is pretty fun now. Go try it out! :] )
There's just too much stuff to name it all, so here is the full list for you:

Fixes / Improvements
And before we forget, to celebrate the Modding Update, we're also going to have our biggest discount yet! The game is going to be discounted 34% for a full week from now on. So if you know anyone who would like to join Kent and his Crew for some Space Adventuring, now is the time to tell them!
As always, we really appreciate all of your support! You guys are the reason the game has gone this far and your feedback, bug reports and suggestions are what made this version of the game possible! <3
With this update, we're really trying to spread word about the game again. Every Steam review, Retweet, post or mention of the game helps us out immensely, and we're very thankful for it!! We're currently trying to reach 500 reviews, which would push us into the "Overwhelmingly Positive" category. Let's see if this update can help us get there! :)
