Little Green Men Games have released update 0.7014 for Starpoint Gemini 2 through Steam Early Access, and now those physic-based collisions will actually cause damage, and the team has prettied up space rocks.
Two more language translations are also available: German and Russian. The community demanded it and so LGM has implemented a ‘chase camera’ for easier tracking.
NPCs will eventually get damage from collisions once their AI ”is tweaked to properly avoid collisions” in the first place, otherwise it’ll be a massacre.
“With our regular updates, we really want to show our awesome fans that we’re fully committed to making the game that they want and deserve. Along with our feature plans, we’re always happy to implement something the community has asked for. The chase camera was the next in line,” said lead programmer Oliver Tomic.
Update highlights:
• Added the much wanted Chase camera mode that automatically tracks targeted object
• Leave a nice little gift for your enemies in the form of the powerful Orpheus mine
• Knock down incoming heavy weapon projectiles with the Atlas defense field
• Deploy the SETH platform to aid you in crushing your opponents
• Physics implemented in the last update receives its first tweak as collisions can now cause damage
• Replaced several asteroid field models with new and much improved versions
• Game is now available in German and Russian
• The Mod Manager gets the wanted tweak to enable updating your mods
