Dev Log v1.4.1.0 - Lightspeed Edition update!



Greetings Commanders!

We're back from Gamescom and have some awesome news this week in terms of content for you all! I’ll start first with this one...

We have added a NEW difficulty for you guys - WARNING: not for the faint of heart! Ur-Admirax is the new difficulty level above Grand Admiral! Can you handle the heat? Or will it be the end of your fleet?! We have also rebalanced ground combat encounters to be tougher further into the campaign - so say a prayer for your fellow green shirts!

Pixel art has always been something our entire team has been passionate about, and we are so excited to share with you the art behind Halcyon 6 from its early stages of pre-production to our now in-game final art! Our artbook contains 49 pages of pixelated goodness designed for you by our artists and content designers. This art book was a previously timed exclusive just for Kickstarter backers, but now made available for purchase to further support our dev work on Halcyon 6!

The Art of Halcyon 6 can be purchased here: http://store.steampowered.com/app/706910/Halcyon_6_Lightspeed_Edition__Artbook/

LIGHTSPEED EDITION BUG FIXES:



  • Fixed bug where difficulty levels were not affecting difficulty of ground combat encounters
  • Ghost Pepper Bomb no longer removes Blinded status effect
  • Delayed Recovery now has limited uses
  • Fixed bug with some space monsters having the wrong class type
  • Fixed various typos in scripts and tutorial
  • Fixed bug with XP upgrades for new officers


If you haven't tried Lightspeed Edition yet, you can find it already in your Library (if you were an original owner of Halcyon 6) or here: http://store.steampowered.com/app/651660/Halcyon_6_Lightspeed_Edition/

Last but not least.. We’d like to thank you all for your support of Halcyon 6 and hope that you love Ur-Admirax as much as we do! Feel free to share some action-packed Ur-Admirax screenshots and videos on social media and tag us with the hashtag #halcyon6game #uradmirax so we can retweet you :)
