Stratos

State of the game

Hey everyone,

Thanks for all your help and support when making Stratos. Unfortunately the sales weren’t as great as I’d hoped, so I’ve had to move my efforts away from the game and look to work elsewhere.

I believe I’ve reached a somewhat stable build and am reasonably happy with where it’s at. If there are game-breaking bugs, I’ll definitely try to fix those. Otherwise, I can’t foresee creating more substantial updates in the future.

Sorry for any inconvenience and thanks for your understanding,
Al

  • Crew quarters & captain’s desk prop
