Trading Cards Incoming!Jun 26, 2019 - Community AnnouncementsI've submitted a series of Steam Trading Cards (with Badges & Emoticons) to Valve for approval the other day, so far it looks like it will go live later today! https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/7488292/d53c8017a590a12e10a4048131ee35470e691c73.jpg A bit late, but better than never! :) Thanks, Huy Edit: It's now live!A Skywalker Of Sorts: Star Nomad 2Dec 1, 2015 - Rock, Paper, ShotgunWhile Elite: Dangerous makes planetfall and Star Citizen makes another million, there’s a thriving 2d space RPG scene for anyone without the horsepower to run those modern behemoths, or anyone who prefers singleplayer simulations to multiplayer playgrounds. Starsector is a recent addition to my playlist of galactic sandboxes, as is the splendid Endless Sky, and now we can add another to the list. Star Nomad 2 , the sequel to a game I don’t remember even hearing about, is another challenger to Space Rangers 2’s position as Best Open World Dynamic Space Game. … Star Nomad 2 release soon!Nov 26, 2015 - Community AnnouncementsHappy to announce that it's all going well and the schedule for release in mid-December will happen! ːsteamhappyː Here's the store preview: http://i.imgur.com/jexhyoq.jpg And the description: http://i.imgur.com/P211ntd.jpg Price will be $12.99 with a 10% launch discount.

Old trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eGP2mn6cd_w Star Nomad 2 Trailer & Greenlight!Sep 6, 2015 - Community AnnouncementsIt's 90% completed so I thought today is a good day to kick off the Greenlight process! Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eGP2mn6cd_w Greenlight: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=513945382 It's been a long road to learn the ropes of being a solo gamedev from scratch, I've learnt heaps making Star Nomad and it culminates in this upcoming title. Hopefully it passes Greenlight and I am given an opportunity to continue this path of being a gamedev, one that I enjoy tremendously. I've been inundated with marketing email spam asking to cough up big $$ to promote Star Nomad 2, but its not something I can afford, and so grass-roots, word-of-mouth marketing is my only resource. I need your help, gamers! Tell your buddies, help me with the yes votes! :) Thank you. :) See you in Space, Pilots!Star Nomad 2 Trailer & Greenlight!Sep 6, 2015 - Community AnnouncementsIt's 90% completed so I thought today is a good day to kick off the Greenlight process!

The main issue is early game and the slow pace at which credits are earnt as well as the death penalty being rage-quit inducing. While Star Nomad is a sandbox game, I wanted the Story Missions to be the defining "fun" factor. So easing early game to draw in more players on the story is the goal. This update has a few changes: * Mercenary & Merchant Guild missions in Al Dhanab (starter region) are now significantly more rewarding. * The Gemini Guild have also received a major buff in credit payout. * Death penalty changed from 20% of ship value to 15%. This should minimize the early game deaths since late-game, credits are easier to come by. * Insurance now also fully covers the 2nd Missile Module (bugfix). * Hanzo Yamada (Boss) will now handsomely reward you during the Story progression. . * The Tengu drone corvette is reduced in price. It's a good combat runner for Gemini missions. * Spacebar key added to Pause function. * Added A & D key highlights to Missiles. * Added a sizeable credit reward to several more early Prelude Story Missions. * Guild HQ mission can reward a bonus 25% credits for a "job well-done" or timely completion. * Increased Contra smuggling profitability at several destinations! * Fixed a graphics glitch with the warp effect at a few places. -------------------------------------- Found a nicely done "Let's Play" vid! Please note that this patch addresses the major criticism of the earlier release build. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xhtZhiVgwLU My own "Let's Play / Guide" vid: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jhibABT0-EE Skill allows you to beat story missions with under-powered ships or under-equipped. The latter half of the story missions (after the Prelude) are very hard, skill is required to pass.Star Nomad Patch 2Jan 4, 2015 - Community AnnouncementsI've been reading all the feedback from players, particular in game balance.
