SATS - DLC - Small Arms Training Simulator
SATS - First DLC Announced - Due Later This year!
As a solo dev, I am going through the reviews of the game at the moment and want to give something back for all those who have helped along the way. and spent a little time in my game.
Reviews are a great way to to state what you like about the game, dont like about the game and if you recommend it to others. With a lot of call, and my love for VR motion controllers, I have said many times over the last year, I have something special planned for VR motion controllers. A new DLC will be coming based on the prequel - CDF Ghostship/Ghostship Aftermath - And for those who already know about Ghostship, you know what to expect but with a huge upscale. For those who dont, its the "Small Arms Training Simulator" which is all about fire-arms, the Colonial Defence force and fun!.
A much bigger Ghostship - expansion - Ghostship Chronicles will be coming later this year which is much more story orientated. SATS features the firing range, Hull breach mode and survivor mode.
I look forward to bringing this to a few select poeple who have enjoyed my star fighter game next month, and looking for an English Release by the fall of the year. Chinese version on Hypereal will be hit in China this Spetmeber/Early October!
