Hello captains, We want to give an update on our current plans for the future of Vanguard Galaxy. If you've been following our updates most of this won't be new to you, but we feel that its good to emphasize our dedication to the project. And specifically to some important features that we want to add sooner rather then later. Over time we have built quite a long list of our own wishes for what we want to add to the game mixed with your feedback. So we needed to prioritize and this update is a result of that. :) We are very happy with how the game is progressing and are even more happy with all of you giving feedback. Don't let this stop you from giving feedback and bug reports. We appreciate all of you and your ideas a lot!Current Beta, short term plansCurrently a beta version is available in Steam, which you have to actively select for the game in order to play it. The current plan is to give this beta another few weeks to a month to mature and get ready for the merge to the live branch of the game.This version of the game currently adds:Officers and Crew splitThe beta introduced crew in the form of deckhands, miners, salvagers, gunners and marines that each have their own strength, giving the ship they crew a relevant bonus. Boarding and Dry dockCrew can also be used to enter other ships and if successful claim the ship as your own for a material cost. Or you can scrap the ship to gain materials needed for a better target.InstallationsThey can also be used to infiltrate installations scattered across the galaxy in different forms. Industrial Stations, Military Outposts and Research Stations are just a few examples. You can enter these and find all kinds of loot there. Ship upgrades and hull rarityThe Dry dock also serves as the new facility in the space stations to facilitate Hull upgrades for your ship and as a longer term goal the option to increase the rarity of your hull, making it possible to push the hull upgrades even further.Pocket bossesThis beta we also...

Hello everyone! I hope you have been enjoying Gelli Fields! I have some news relating to the next update, and all updates going forward.Hingewood HeightsThe Hingewood Heights update is coming along really nicely! I'm very excited for you all to see everything new this update adds. There's a new biome, the wrapping up of the first story arc, achievements, awesome upgrades, new quests, and more! But I need to address something and apologize. I have been advertising this update as coming out the 28th of June, which is not possible. A few things came up during development that has set the update back and I want to ensure this update is big, meaningful, and polished. This ties into my new philosophy for updates going forward. I'm not going to rush myself to get updates out, I'm going to work on the game at a comfortable pace and make sure I include as much love and care as possible into everything going forward. This means things will take awhile longer, but trust me it will be so, so much better.I don't want to promise another date because I will just end up rushing myself again to release on that date so instead I'll reveal the release date when it's ready. I want every big update to be a fun event but also I'm a solo developer making this game so I hope you all understand and are okay with this change of plans and things taking a little longer.Pre-Release TestingIf you still want to experience the biome, and all things coming with the next update you can join the pre-release testing channel on the Discord server to help me make sure all future content is smooth and enjoyable for all!https://discord.gg/SYCTbfdGspThank you so much for understanding, Excited for you all to try out the new biome!

Loopbound — v0.5.10 UI Stop before completion, right-clicking the run button on a task. Reworked background catch-up when returning to the game: no more UI freeze, and the previous ~16.5 minute recovery cap is removed. Modern UI performance improved (lower GPU/CPU use). More optimizations planned. Rewordings of some messages.

Hello everyone! First off, I just want to say that this past week has easily been one of the most exciting weeks of my life. I’ve always wanted to create games. Over the past few years, I’ve been working a lot, learning even more, and slowly trying to turn that dream into something real. And now, I finally did it. I made a game, and that game releases tomorrow at 10 AM. The game will be available for $3.99, with a 15% launch discount for the first week, bringing it down to $3.39! This whole thing still feels completely surreal to me. I never really expected this game to become popular, or honestly even be enjoyed by this many people. To me, it was just a dream, quite literally, that I decided to turn into reality because I thought it would be fun to make and fun to play. But as of writing this, the game has passed 15,000 wishlists, and it could very likely hit 20,000 today. Not only that, but the game is currently in the top 600 for wishlist activity and in the top 2,000 most wishlisted games on Steam. That is just… insane. So many people from all around the world have played the demo, given feedback, shared really good advice, helped me find and squash bugs, and most importantly, gotten excited for what’s next. At launch, the game will include a handful of things that were missing from the demo, including color-coded feed particles, better visual feedback from the black hole, and a few more things I’m finishing up today. I am also writing this while 100% sleep deprived. There have been a lot of sleepless nights and a lot of very, very, veryyy late nights this past week, all to make sure everyone has the best experience possible when the full game launches. I also have a lot planned for future updates. I want to keep working with the community, listen to your ideas, and build this into a game that not only I enjoy, but you all enjoy too. And this will not be my only game. More on that later. At this point, I’m kind of rambling, so I’ll just say this: THANK YOU. To e...

Let's keep making numbers grow together! Pablo & Baptiste

Hi everyone!Steam Next Fest is almost coming to an end. Thank you so much for trying our demo, playing with us, and sharing your feedback!In this update, we are adding two new features to the demo.New Feature: Hiring StaffOne of the biggest issues with the current demo is that the single-player experience can feel a little short and simple. More importantly, there was no automation, so players had to keep refilling bookshelves by themselves.With this update, you can now hire staff to help run your bookstore!You can hire librarians to stock books for you. They will take a small salary, but in return, they will help keep your bookstore running while you continue writing, decorating, or doing other things.You can also choose which book each librarian should stock, and spend money to upgrade your staff over time.There will be other types of staff in the future too, but they will be unlocked in the full game later.New Feature: Simple Player InteractionsWe also added a small multiplayer feature: simple player interactions.When we joined public lobbies and played with other players, we often found ourselves wanting to say simple things, such as:Saying hi when someone joins the roomSaying thanks when another player helps write your bookSaying congratulations when someone writes a legendary bookSaying goodbye before leaving the roomSo we added a few simple interaction buttons to help players communicate with each other more easily.Other ImprovementsWe also made a few smaller improvements in this update:Added more tooltips in different places to help players understand the game betterImproved the tutorial for writing a bookWe would love to hear what you think about the new staff system, the simple player interactions, and the overall demo experience. What feels fun? What feels confusing? What do you hope we can improve or add next?Your feedback really helps us understand the game better from the player’s side, and it means a lot to our small team.We hope you enjoy the new upd...

Hey, Tobias here!This update focuses on performance, stability, and making the game's systems easier to understand. Thanks for the bug reports... several of these fixes came directly from your feedback. In addition I'm also working on the sieges that comes later in the game - I plan to run a playtest in July and anyone interested will be able to join via an announcement on the Steam Page: Back to the patch: here's what changed in v0.8.3.Features & Improvements- Significant performance optimizations across the board- Major stability improvements, especially around Alt-Tabbing- UI overhaul... cleaner panels, improved theming- New splash screen + language selection on first launch- Improved prestige reset flow- More explanations about systems and things like demo limits- Smoother transitions between screens- More UI sounds- Gamepad mode improvements (still in Beta!)Bugfixes- Fixed resource panel positioning- Fixed locale migration bug that auto-confirmed locale for existing save files- Fixed NPC density- Camera panning no longer triggers GUI sounds, tooltips, hover effects, or forces panels open... much cleaner now during navigationThanks for playing the demo! If you hit any bugs or have feedback, please share it.

Last nights performance patch introduced a regression.Accidentally included an endgame resource from the full game as a requirement for ships. This has now been rolled back. If you were quick enough I guess you got a hint for the full game.I've added some more variation to the pilot models. This will most likely be the final patch for the Next Fest demo (unless something breaks of course).

🐾 Pet Balance, Prayers & a Fix Pass Balance Pet drops are now balanced across every skill. The Firemaking and Cremation pets were dramatically slower than the rest (a Firemaking pet on elder logs was ~15× harder than Mining/Woodcutting/etc). All 17 pets now sit on the same difficulty curve. Iron Will is now +18% Melee Attack (it was mistakenly set to +15% Defense). This fills the high-tier melee attack prayer slot to match Range's Eagle Eye. Bug Fixes Flawed Ruby from monster/dungeon drops now gives the real, usable gem with its proper icon (it was showing a loot-crate icon and couldn't be used in crafting). Existing stranded stacks are auto-converted on load. Elder Salts (and all pyre salts) now drop while burning logs offline — overnight burning no longer yields zero salts. Bank: depositing or withdrawing items no longer shuffles the rest of your inventory around — items keep their slot, so your bag stops "moving." Backpacks no longer flicker when sitting in the bank. Offline dungeon contracts: auto-farming a dungeon contract overnight now keeps the contract active (re-accepts it) instead of leaving you with an empty slot you'd refill with a random monster contract. Quality of Life The Grand Backpack's +10% skilling XP now appears in the "Active Bonuses" XP breakdown, so you can finally see where that bonus comes from. Bank placeholders now also appear when an item is fully consumed by crafting (not just by withdrawing), preserving your tab layout. Beastmaster ("Find every pet") now correctly requires 17 pets — there are 17, one per skill (it was asking for 16).
