Early March Progress Update
Backers and Captains,
We have been making rapid progress on Star Traders 2 implementation tasks over the last two weeks. Our three-pronged attack against the game’s features continues and we’ve hit significant milestones on all three fronts.
In Character Creation, we’re now generating Traits for your starting Crew and Contacts, as well as placing your Captain’s friends and enemies into the game world during map generation. Character Creation now allows you to select your ship from a list of starting options. As you can see in this prototype screenshot, we are also now using the new ship artwork for Star Traders 2 as you traverse Quadrants.
On the Map Gen and View project, we are now generating maps with approximately the same complexity of Urban Zones as seen in the original Star Traders RPG (50+ Zones). We’re currently generating and exploring these maps and hyperwarp gate systems with the viewer. Of course, this is a Star Traders Map Viewer so it definitely kills your Crew while you are using it.
