The past year has been a bit of a whirlwind for Dust Fleet, so here's the short version:
- April 2022: Freedom Games got in touch about Publishing Dust Fleet.
- June 2022: I left my job to become a full time game developer.
- June 2022 - now: Work on Dust Fleet proceeds at a vastly accelerated pace.
- Today: Dust Fleet is being exhibited at PAX East.
- Also today: While PAX East is on, there's a Dust Fleet Demo you can try right now!
There's also plenty of new stuff to see in the game!
New Weapons
Nukes, railguns and rapid fire missiles are now in the game.
New Ships
I've been building several new ships - you can see some of them in the latest dev diary.
New Stations and Modules
Players can now build up to 4 station types, with various modules available for each.

Starmap Updates
The starmap visibility radius of ships and stations has been vastly improved, and the whole UI overhauled. Juddering and lockups have been smoothed away making turns a buttery smooth experience.
