Lords of the Black Sun
Development Roadmap
Some of these elements are playable but please expect them to not function as intended just yet.
Others we have greyed out in the UI and these will become clickable and playable during a later stage of development.
Examples are:
- Play with your friends in Hotseat mode. While this mode is functional, we are aware that it needs more work and this is a spearpoint for the coming weeks on our roadmap.
- Multiplayer is already present in the game but we will need to do more extensive testing before we deem this fit enough to be tested by the community.
- Another disabled feature for the moment is Domestic Policies as this feature needs some serious balancing before we deem it ready.
- Huge Galaxies are currently not playable, as the game still needs further optimization before it’s possible to play the game in such a big map smoothly.
- Diplomacy and the way the AI interacts with the player are areas that will get our immediate attention, but are already available in the launch version.
Over the past few weeks leading up to the Early Access launch we have already added more buildings and technologies to the game, and we will continue to do this over the coming weeks. Other activities on our roadmap for the upcoming period of Early Access are:
- Balance out Domestic policies
- Implement ship and fleets list
- Add new combat modules
- Implement Multiplayer
- Work on a new New Game and Race Choice screen
- Implement new victory condition(s)
- Implement Huge galaxy size and respective optimizations
- Implement Story Events
- Bug fixing and general gameplay balancing
Last but not least, we have included a small questionnaire for you to allow you to provide us with smooth and structured feedback.
Don’t hesitate to engage us on the forums too though ! We are making this game for you – all constructive feedback that is technically and timewise do-able will eventually make it to the game.
Welcome !
First of all thank you for your interest in Star Lords !
We at Arkavi Studios along with Iceberg Interactive are very happy to present you our new 4x space strategy game, Star Lords.
Games of this genre are very complex in their nature, and therefore we need all the feedback we can get to make sure we can make the game YOU want to play.
This current Early Access build is a very much playable Alpha version and will be updated over the next weeks and months! We’ll be posting here regularly with update logs and other news.
Please bear in mind that Early Access means just that – we are offering you the opportunity to gain access to the title early in the development cycle, as we value your opinion and input – but there will be annoying bugs and incomplete features present – if this bothers you, we won’t take it personally if you wait to buy the completed version – but please don’t flame us on the forums if you were expecting the game to be bug-free – it isn’t!
However, if you have purchased the game and are playing it, we’d like to thank you for your vote of confidence in our studio and we look forward to interacting with you !
