Helixteus

Another news regarding the sequel.

Forget the 5 testers limit, I’ve received 8 PMs mostly from players I know very well asking to become an early tester.
It would be a difficult decision to select the 5 testers out of 8, so to make my and others’ life easier I’ll just take anyone who is interested in following the sequel!

I’ll start working on the sequel this weekend, but I’ll send the applicants the chat link beforehand where you can communicate with other testers and myself.

No update to the game, but I felt like informing you players on what I have thought these past few days. The post is pretty long, so a TL;DR version is included at the very bottom.

As some of you may know, the game started development when I was a complete newbie at Actionscript 3, so most early-implemented features such as tile generation and battle system have very messy code.
It would be a pain to recode them from scratch as I have to touch other areas of code, and therefore it’s better off in the long run to start working on an entirely new game: Helixteus II.
I think it’s safe to call it a sequel, containing even more stuff to do, more features, better UI/graphics (I hope!), you name it.
For the game to be as top-shape as possible, I’m taking 5 players who really like the game, or support the developer heavily, or both, as alpha/beta testers. If you think you’re eligible, you can send the developer a PM on why you think you should be an early tester.
As always, if you have any questions on this sequel or what will happen to this original game, let me know. By the way, crafting will not be implemented in this game, but will be in the sequel, along with other popular suggestions such as flagships.

TL;DR: The sequel to this game, Helixteus II, is in the making.
