Current Status
Both maps are in the first drafts, the star systems used will need a correction pass for accuracy (as well as playability).
The one custom event is being fleshed out in terms of both design and narrative to prepare for an event chain.
Lastly, the music needs a second mixing and mastering pass as the current version is just not adequate.
Expected Release
Slow progress has been made over the holidays, but with the maps in their first drafts, all the star systems configured, it's just polishing what's there. Once the maps, event and music are finalized, it'll be published on Paradox and Steam Workshop, as well as a file available on here for those wishing for a local copy. Still tentatively Summer of 2024.
Testing is being done on a compatible mod collection on Steam Workshop that expands on the core gameplay.
