I'm happy to say you can now customise quite a few individual things. Here's a few examples...

Weekly Dev Diary - Issue 13

02/10/21

We are almost at the end of the #100daysofgamedev

In the past 93 days, we have created an entire galaxy system, added multiplayer, designed a new bridge, and almost a complete A-Deck.

Here's a snippet of that.

This week's dev diary is later than usual due to optimising and perfecting the electrical systems.

Casually flying past a random star in our new completely physicalised galaxy. All stars and planets exist in real-time, and you can warp between them at any speed!

Our newest dev video is out now!
