VAC-Update (Voice And Controller) (v0.17) has been released!

[VAL initialized] [access granted] Commander, Thank you for supporting Spacebase Startopia thus far. We are thrilled with the amount of feedback we have received from the beta and we will be doing everything we can to read and process each query as quickly as possible. VAL is pleased to announce that her on-board development droid, assembly series Realmforge Studios, has been able to implement another new batch of bug fixes, improvements, and features. Among these is the first iteration of controller support and new voice effect options for VAL. Regarding the controller-support, VAL and her very own droid assembly series Realmforge Studios here would like to see and read your feedback regarding the newly implemented feature. For the detail-oriented, a full list of new features, improvements and fixes can be found below:

New features

Added additional voice effect options for VAL and updated default setting
Added additional Sound and Graphics settings
Added basic controller support
Added more visual variety to aliens
Added new sound effects

Important notice: Saved games from previous versions of the beta are not compatible with this update. This is due to the sheer amount of changes that have been and will continue to be made up until launch. Prior to v1.0 (final release version) this may also impact future beta updates. Additionally, please avoid using special characters in your savegames, as those can corrupt your new savegames. [VAL #sadface]

"Help, we're all going to d... Wha... Oh, excuse me, it seems my system is no longer up-to-date – [old memory status deleted] – so, much better… WELCOME to the Spacebase Startopia! I'm VAL, your helpful and efficient Space Station AI!

According to my records, this Station hasn’t been used at all in the last 17 years! How very strange. Furthermore, it would appear that you are the only rational life form in this Sector. Well then, CONGRATULATIONS! I hereby officially pronounce you Commander of this Space Station! Hopefully you will enjoy more success than your predecessor who, according to the logbook, er… ran into some wormlike Aliens… Oh, nothing to worry about!

To keep the same thing from happening to you, there's a lot you're going to have to do. Amongst others, there’s the development of further Sectors, maintenance of the three vital Main Decks as well as the customer acquisition and entertainment of our extraterrestrial visitors, who provide us with sufficient Energy for our plans for global improvement. Oh, and before I forget – it's probably just a bug in my security protocols anyway – but my sensors are showing just loads of enemy creatures in all of the other Sectors…

So, what are we waiting for? Let's get to work! Let us join forces to conquer space."

Spacebase Startopia captivates with its original mixture of economic simulation and empire building strategy paired with classic RTS skirmishes and a good dose of humor. In addition to the challenging single player Campaign and the versatile battle mode, there are also competitive and cooperative multiplayer modes for up to four players. And as if maintaining the three Space Station Decks, entertaining the eight Alien races and defending against enemy invaders were not enough of a challenge, the dynamic narrator AI is not going to mince matters and commentates the events in a lovely but sharp-tongued manner.
