AstraX 0.5: Announcing the New Spacecraft Editor

Get ready Pilots, exciting news await!

It’s been quiet around AstraX, because I have been working on this ginormous update that is version 0.5. I decided to jump right into a proper implementation before adding work arounds for important quality of life features.

For this reason, launch of the spacecraft editor was placed ahead of schedule.

The update will release on the 14th August.

Creating the editor was no easy feat. However, the work was definitely worth it and the end result is beautiful.

Here are a few insights to the upcoming version 0.5!

Spacecraft Editor

The editor lets you create, load and save spacecraft and stations. You can start a new game with the spacecraft you created. It is fully functional and not a bare-bones implementation (although probably not bugless yet).

You also may watch OtterMakeGames create a dinosaur ship. Thanks for playing the development build!


What are you waiting for?

Get creative!

Backgrounds

Better backgrounds change depending on galaxy and galaxy regions. Regions can be large nebulae or asteroid fields: these points of interests look different to the rest of the galaxy.

HUD Style

Large parts of the HUD have been reworked in avionics fashion. A better, sleeker on-screen compass shows target direction and distance. Never miss a target with the extra bouncy target selector! I have also replaced the indicator gauges for fuel/oxygen.

Fasten your seatbelts!


This and many more coming to AstraX 0.5, on 14th August 2024!
