The studio has also updated boarding mechanics so ”random micro-events” can alter battles. Anomalies have also been substantially upgraded. Think you can design a hero?
A new contest is now open where five top submitted heroes will be selected to appear in Starpoint Gemini 2, with the winners named in the credits and given Steam keys.
The next alpha update to the game will include ”character class choice and improved mission object markers to make them easier to distinguish from “standard” game objects and to quickly show what you should do with/to the object.” To take part in the hero contest visit the official Starpoint Gemini 2 website for more.
