Hi everyone, I've just uploaded 3.9 beta builds! These are beta builds, expect them to be buggy, do not use them if you feel uncomfortable at the sight of bugs! Here's the changelog:

Procedurally generated land maps available
A new ship, a new artifact and a new monster
Move stars, and modify connections between stars, in sandbox
Create and modify Alliances in sandbox
The option of using Earth based (and optionally single identifier) empire names in all galaxies
Experimental support for "pinch" rotation of the galaxy :O
Did I fix that typo? I don't even remember

I'd love to get shoutouts from everyone who tries this - to let me know if works, and what you think of it. I'll start checking off platforms below :)

Windows	?
Mac	?
Linux	?

Is it on smartphone or just on PC? How to enable the beta?

snoddasmannenDeveloper6 years ago

Both!

On PC, just grab the builds labelled beta here on itch.io.

On Android, go here:

Yes you did fix the typo and I really like it it gets better every update keep working on this awesome game

snoddasmannenDeveloper6 years ago

Thank you! :) You are on Windows, am I right?

GalimulatorFan126 years ago

Yes I am on windows why

snoddasmannenDeveloper6 years ago

Well you are testing it right? I need to know where it is that it's working :)

GalimulatorFan126 years ago(+1)

Yes its working

stayhomel6 years ago

I've had a play around with it and it seems to be working fine :D

snoddasmannenDeveloper6 years ago

Nice! What platform are you on? Windows? Mac? Linux?

stayhomel6 years ago

Windows :D, I'm really liking the direction that you're taking with the generated land maps. I tried my best to break the game by moving stars around to strange places or by creating strange links, but it seems to be rock solid. Keep up the great work!

snoddasmannenDeveloper6 years ago

Nice, thank you :)

stayhomel6 years ago

I generated a land map and I noticed this link between two places, is this intended? I used the perlin algorithm. (Windows)

stayhomel6 years ago

Also another "bug" that i've noticed in the last few versions is that an empire will "originate" in multiple stars across the map at the same time, is this intended?

grisha56 years ago

I also encountered this, but it's probably intended.

snoddasmannenDeveloper6 years ago(+1)

It's the most confusing and uintuitive feature in the game, the "Separate rebellions" feature, that does this. I may just remove it ...

snoddasmannenDeveloper6 years ago(+1)

It may do this sometimes. Can you give me the seed of the map?

grisha56 years ago

Add a way to reset map rotation, please.

snoddasmannenDeveloper6 years ago

You are referring to the Android version or the PC version? If you disable map rotation as of the very latest beta, it will reset.

grisha56 years ago

Android version.

Its great, but on my windows, I have a problem (with ALL versions of Galimulator), whenever I try to type an exact size of a galaxy, or name an empire. the game freezes, then when it starts working again, the create your empire/galaxy box "crashes". any help?

CJBJ6 years ago

Same thing with making alliances, and other things you have to type in. it works just fine on my Android, but i would love to be able to play it on my PC.

snoddasmannenDeveloper6 years ago

That sucks, it's using a built in function in the game framework I'm using (libgdx) to get text input from the platform. It works for me, and apparently (hopefully) most other users on Windows, so I'm not sure what is going on with this for you. Which version of windows are you using?

One thing to be on the lookout for is the magic key input window, it may be small and hiding behind the Galimulator window. Try Alt-Tabbing to find it.

CJBJ6 years ago

Im using a Windows 7, and i tried Alt-Tabbing, if the magic key input is the thing you type in, i get that, but there isnt anything else besides the galimulator window, and the "enter (whatever) size/name", but after i enter in the number, or name the game freezes, and then it closes the tab it was in.

grisha56 years ago

You can command the Tentaprrentice ship in observe mode, like you can with space oddities, is this intended?

snoddasmannenDeveloper6 years ago

Cool, not really intended, but let's keep that :)

QuerkyBren6 years ago

PLEASE add an option to select individual stars when you paint a galaxy! with that, i will be able to finally make a complete earth scenario!

snoddasmannenDeveloper6 years ago

Good suggestion! I've added this to the mobile version for 3.9, let's see if I do another PC build as well.

grisha56 years ago

Found a trade ship stuck on a star cut off by a wormhole disruptor. Shouldn't they disappear in that case?

snoddasmannenDeveloper6 years ago

Well it will start moving again once the star is restored.

CJBJ6 years ago

R.I.P Trade Ship

grisha56 years ago

Kinda irrelevant, but I found a frigate named "Fecal".

nemmygalimulator6 years ago

Darn i love the name generation

nemmygalimulator6 years ago

You could make the dynasty leaderboards scrollable so you can see all of them and not only the top 10

Numi23016 years ago

(On mobile) Whenever I try to "enter exact figure" when generating a galaxy, the on-screen keyboard appears, and the window with the "generate galaxy" button closes itself, making it impossible to actually enter a galaxy size. this was also hapenning in previous versions.

snoddasmannenDeveloper6 years ago

interesting! What device and Android version do you have?

Numi23016 years ago

I have the NVidia shield NK1 gaming tablet and android 7.0. The tablet also has a version of the "SHIELD tablet software version", tell me incase you need that one too. And also, thanks for trying to help me! :D

snoddasmannenDeveloper6 years ago

After much delaying, the release is finally final - thank you very much for your help everyone! :)
