Balance Update - The Whole Game is Easier
As mentioned in our last patch we looked over all of the player data to see if changes needed to be made. It seemed very clear from the data that there were multiple areas where the experience needed to be improved. Today we bring a large number of balance changes.
First off we lowered the difficulty in all sectors but the very first area. The first area we still feel is offering the right level of challenge to introduce players to the game.
Secondly, as we recently did for Ancient Frontier, we reduced the number of ships you face in the second half of the game so that portion is less of a grind.
Third, we increased the starting resources on both the Beginner and Veteran difficulties.
Finally, we made some under the hood changes to make the experience easier on Beginner and Veteran difficulties.
Voice Acting
First off we have been very pleased with the reception the voice acting work has gotten this time around.
We had more opportunity to think about improvements for this game after the lessons we learned doing Ancient Frontier. One of the improvements we made was to have the actors read short little command lines for their ships while they were recording.
Today we bring you this update. Now all of the ships with a character will sometimes speak when you give their ship a move order. This should make it easier to tell who is who on the battlefield.
We also added one short conversation that did not make it into the last patch.
End Credits Song
We were honored that the lead composer of the game, Mimi Page, wrote us a unique song for the end credits. We were very pleased with how this turned out. Several of you have asked us for the lyrics of the song.
With this patch we have updated the Credits screen so that it now displays the lyrics. You can now all enjoy Mimi's poetry as she helped us bring this world to life for all of you. We hope you enjoy this update.
Update v1.06:
Voice Acting!
We are very pleased to finally bring full voice acting to all of the lines in the game. We know this is a feature many of you have been requesting. After months of work this feature is now finally fully realized.
We want to extend a huge thank you to the voice actors and actresses who poured their energy into bringing these characters to life. Your talents are very appreciated. Also a special thank you to all of the returning characters who reprised their roles from the first game.
Be sure to let us know what you think of the voice acting in the forums and in your reviews!
Options
We are proud of how the sound work turned out. However, we know that some people prefer the game the way it has been, with no voices. For those people, we also have you covered. Simply go to the options menu and turn the dialogue volume slider all the way down, and you can enjoy the game as you have.
New Events
We continue to expand the number of random events in the game. This should continue to make each playthrough even more unique and immerse you in the life of being a fleet commander on the Frontier. This has been a popular addition to the game, and we hope to continue to bring you more events. This patch adds another group of random events to the pool.
Balance Tweaks
We have gotten a fair amount of feedback that the later boss missions are too difficult, even on the easiest difficulty level. Part of this is related to the difficulty in general of turrets. To address this we have reduced the difficulty on all of the late game boss fights, and reduced the number of turrets on all difficulty levels on all missions that had them. Hopefully these missions are a little easier.
We are looking over the player data from the last several months and will be using that to potentially make additional balance tweaks in the future.
Bug Fixes
Finally, we think the game is largely bug free. However there were a few small issues that should be addressed in today's patch.
Fixed all bugs related to all events not spawning for older games.
Fixed minor display errors that could occur on a ship's detail inspection.
