0.8 confirmed to release today
I wish I was a part of that parallel universe.
You are transported to an alternate reality, where the Starfarer team releases constant community updates and flash pieces to cover up that it's development process takes two steps backward for each step forwards. Whenever a feature nears final iteration, development time is instead shifted to broadening the scope of the project in an apparent quest to appease every imaginable community demand. Core gameplay systems are subject to constant, major overhauls that often put them in direct conflict with stated design goals or invalidate countless hours of developer time in other aspects of the game. In the third week of March, 2017, another such update is pushed onto the live servers without testing, fixing a few things and breaking a few more.
It is notable only becuase is the last communication that the community will ever receive from Fractal Softworks.
In the dead of night, Alex boards a plane back to Russia with a suitcase full of Kickstarter money, and the final finger on the monkey's paw curls shut.
