Just jumping into the news feed to talk a bit about my new game - Magic of Spring!
It is what I've been calling a card adventure game - there is a story, a world to explore, deckbuilding, and a lot of card fights.
I've been working on Magic of Spring with extremely skilled Minho Kim and Bert Cole.
Bert Cole composed the music for Sector Six and Light of the Locked World, so you know he's good =]
Minho Kim is the artist of Devespresso Games, the team that created the great-looking Coma games, Vambrace: Cold Soul, Scarlet Hood and the Wicked Wood.
The demo for Magic of Spring should be ready to play next month.
Hope this sounds interesting - if it does, don't forget to follow and wishlist the game <3
(One of those going to be a sequel to Sector Six, I swear!)
Small Moons, Zuurix's game studio
Hi all!
A small update for those wondering what's going on: Small Moons is a studio created by me, Zuurix a.k.a. Aivaras Klimas.
I've created it in case I'll want to expand in the future and because saying that these games are made by me isn't entirely correct.
Two of my biggest games are made with the awesome Bert Cole of Bit By Bit Sound.
Please follow Small Moons creator's page to be updated about new game releases: Link >>
That's all for now, until next time!
Update! Unlimited experience
Hey all,
I've just released a small update for the game!
I was thinking to maybe add some new content, but couldn't figure out what would be interesting to add.
So instead, I've decided to make some non-content changes. I've looked at the list of things I could do to improve the game and done a few.
Huge thanks to everyone who bought the game and your generous reviews!
(Please report any issues you might find after this update)
Anyway, the update!
Auto-fire
Now holding an ability button for 5 seconds will enable auto-fire for that ability. To disable auto-fire, release the ability key and press it again.
XP and experience changes
The player's ship now gains experience no matter in what region it is.
Also, difficulty level modifiers are no longer limited by a region level, they can be enabled anywhere.
Finally, the players no longer need to reach level 5 to enable difficulty modifiers.
Number formatting
Number formatting updated to display more numbers. E.g.: 20.1M weapon damage -> 20.19M weapon damage.
Altered parts
Increased altered part drop chance and a chance of altered parts to become more altered.
Absolute Deterioration
Absolute Deterioration XP multiplier is now active for spaceships of all levels.
Endgame shortcut removed
This option has some problems with it, so I've decided to remove it.
Fixed
Nuke does not deal any damage while Azimar's Killframe is disabled. Manual mentions that relics cannot have scaling properties, which is incorrect since relic rework. Item generator creates low-level altered parts.
Have fun!

If you guys would Rate/Like the game on these new stores I'd be eternally grateful! Right now games are my only source of income, so every dollar matters to me =]
Thanks again for buying Sector Six on Steam, the game just passed 150 reviews, it's truly amazing <3
Update! Simplified Chinese translation added
This update adds Simplified Chinese translation by Wang Li a.k.a. Jether!
Also fixed Lantern of Chances + Azimar's Killframe bug thanks to playstrike2004.
Until next time!
Major update! Set rework and endgame shortcut
This update is an attempt to even out power levels of the sets. Lodeon's Ultimatum should no longer be the only set capable of reaching 10+ waves in Absolute Deterioration.
The new and improved set effects:
Etherion's Clash

Fixed: Alloy containers are inheriting tooltip lines from relics.
Have fun!
Update! Linux performance improved and crash fixed + set rework info
Hey all, just a small update - version 1.5.6c - for Linux.
Version 1.5.6 used to crash for some users because of a debug command I forgot to remove. Also, it was slower. I can't tell how much exactly, but quite significantly.
I am only 90% sure that the new version will work, so I left version 1.5.6 accessible:
Go to Library > Sector Six > Properties > Betas: Enter the password "fallbackbranch" and select "fallback" from the list.
If the Linux crisis is finally over, I'll start doing set rework in a week or so.
I really want to do set rework well - I want this update to have a huge positive change to endgame build diversity.
Because nerfing Lodeon's Ultimatum doesn't seem like a desirable option, the goal is to bring other sets to Ultimatum's power level.
That is the goal, but the way there is unknown.
These factors make it impossible to not do set rework blindly:
- It would take a while to test every known build thoroughly even with cheats and I don't have much time allocated. - I don't have any tools to accurately model the stats of endgame spaceships. - There is always some uncertainty when making changes like that, even in with the best tools.
So here's the plan:
- I'll hack together a set rework giving buffs and changes based on my experience in the endgame and the power level of Ultimatum. - After it's released, I'll continue making smaller-scale changes based on your feedback until all sets feel decent.
I have created a pinned discussion for that: https://steamcommunity.com/app/465020/discussions/0/1737762134390535712/
So that's the news for now, thank you for your patience, and until next time!
Linux: New version is available in beta
Hey all,
I have uploaded Linux version 1.5.6b which is faster and doesn't have that crash caused by a leftover debug command.
I couldn't make it live because it has one problem: Clicking "Play" in the Steam library does not run it.
To run it:
Go to Library > Sector Six > Properties > Betas Enter password: "password12345", select "beta - Beta branch". Then "Browse local files" and run SectorSix executable or run.sh script.
I have tried several things yesterday and I can't figure out what is the problem. If you get an error that could help me or have any ideas on what's wrong, leave a comment.
Until next time.
Update! Possibly fixed Linux + small bug fixes
Hey all!
- Fixed: Chance calculation bug. 100% wave chances and deflect chance used to not guarantee that these mechanics would pass the checks every time. - Fixed: Font related memory leak. - Fixed: Strange part generation bug/crash. Possibly. Watch out for weird part behavior.
Linux:
A new build has been uploaded, it runs on my virtual machine, so hopefully, it will run for everyone else. If it doesn't work properly, please report that to me.
