Starpoint Gemini 2 Gets Beta Update
Haarlem, The Netherlands –
June 20, in the year of our Lord 2014 – Developer
Little Green Men Games announced today a big update for its
increasingly popular space sim title Starpoint Gemini 2 (PC),
currently in Beta on Steam’s Early Access program. The new
update offers players more compelling and challenging gameplay
than ever before and is another big stride toward fulfilling the
game’s full potential before its launch later this summer.
Updated highlights include:
COLLATERAL DAMAGE: Ship explosions can now cause damage to
nearby ships
DAMAGING BACKFIRE: Anomaly scanning can now cause a backfire in
the form of a damaging blast
HEAVY WEAPON PROJECTILES: Try to avoid collisions with obstacles
DAMAGING EXPLOSIONS: Heavy weapon explosions now have effective
blast radius and damage with the accompanying visual effect
RANDOM SPAWNING: Random ship spawning mechanics changed, to
increase overall space traffic, but also allow more tweaks and
variation
WORMHOLE CHAOS: It is now possible, to not survive passing
through Wormholes
FIXED: Player ship customization parameters are now properly
saved and loaded
Starpoint Gemini 2 is currently in the Beta Stage on Steam’s
Early Access program and available at a discount price prior to
full release later this summer. That way you can pay them to be
a quality assurance tester, as opposed to them paying a team to
do that work.
About Starpoint Gemini 2
In this sequel to Starpoint Gemini, players will captain their
own space ship and roam the galaxy in 3D in this tactical space
simulator with tons of RPG depth! Space has never looked so
inviting – but images can betray... It has been two years since
the end of the second Gemini war, and the situation in the
war-torn system is further from resolution than ever before.
Key features:
Complex, but easy-to-use RPG system, now coupled with dynamic
real-time 3D combat.
Explore the dynamic game world as a whole, rather than through
individual maps.
Use T-Gates, wormholes and rift ways to travel faster around the
Gemini System.
Fifty diverse factions ranging from states and companies to
outlaws, locked in a power struggle, with more than 100
commodities to trade or plunder.
Special revocable licenses acquired from factions offer various
bonuses and unlock new options.
Players can now hire mercenary captains to follow them on their
travels and share the same fate, and employ officers to fill key
positions on their ship (engineering, navigation, tactical).
Random missions get generated depending on the player’s actions
and allegiances.
More than 70 unique ships, fully upgradeable with various ship
systems, with, amongst other things, visible turrets, and a
large arsenal of heavy weapons to blast enemies to pieces.
Direct ship controls create complete immersion.
