Star Singularity
Galaxy in chaos - Part 2
Just a quick update, I am aware that the game is not balanced (terribly hard and not consistent)
The game is procedurally generated (enemies, sector types..) and a change I made to the generation changed a lot of unexpected things. I am actively working to fix it really soon.
In the next update I will address some issues that are caused by the procedural generation, enemies will no longer be procedurally generated.
I believe this update will make the progression smoother.
Thanks for all the support

Order in a galaxy of chaos
It has been a while since the last development update, it is hard for me to write a development log when I feel like I am disappointing the few that did buy the game but I don’t want to keep you in the dark. I feel like the game has progressed and regressed instead of going forward but I will keep working on it until it matches my vision.
There are two things that I am currently working on, the first is the story which I am finding very difficult to finish… I got the outline and nice twist but the details are hard from me to write, writing was never my strong suit.
Basically it tells the story of humanity after years of constant struggle trying to find a solution to the constant wars and the human condition by sending von neumann probe to the center of the galaxy. The different factions of humanity believed that a solution that will unite humanity lies in the stars. With the Federation hoping to find intelligent life, the Empire believing it will find God and the Trading Guild hoping to find an endless source of energy. The probe was sent and forgotten and humanity reverted back to tribes and warring factions. Five hundred years had passed and our story begins…
The other major change I am working on is a leveling/experience system that I will expand on in a different post.
I don’t want to set dates and promise things but I am working on the game and investing all my free time in the game. I can promise to keep you updated and find the order in the chaos that is the development of this game and my life.
Regards,
Kobi
