Hi everyone Star Merc has now been fully released on steam, many changes and fixes have happened during early access and I am very grateful for all of the support received from everyone. This however does not mean the end for the game as I will be updating the full release and adding additional free content in the future (I hate paid dlc). So I hope you guys enjoy the game as before any issues or suggestions do not be afraid to report and I will resolve them as best as I can.
Thanks again everyone!

Some information on recent updates
Hi guys I have been updating Star Merc over the past few weeks and I just want to give you all a brief list of things that have been added since the last update and features that are being worked on just to keep you all up to date.
- Some new music tracks added
- New areas
- New races introduced for one of the storylines depending on player choice
- New skills added (these are not obtained through experience but can be bought as an upgrade)
- New weapons
- Ability to extract resources with resource extractor (this will be expanded upon)
- You can now upgrade your drone ship
- Destroying certain races ships will cause them to send a squad to intercept you
- Secret chests and crates added
- New story quests added
- New side quests added
- Changes to certain sprites
- Shortened intro time due to feedback
I am also working on the quest system and an ingame options menu so you can adjust volume and keybinds. At the moment as a temporary fix you can disable the music or sounds by pressing F1 and selecting disable BGM or BGS and you can change the game from full screen to windowed by pressing ALT + Enter.
I am continuing to add more content to each of the planets and progressing each of the branching storylines so I will keep you guys updated. The freeplay mode is still being worked on so I would still advise following the overlords orders at the first choice.
Thanks again for the support and feedback everyone!
