Pre-Steam Launch Reception

Strife: The Expanse has received over 600+ views this week and has made tons of impressions! I have been extremely happy with the coverage the game has acquired through itch alone and am very excited to see how the steam release fairs! Those of you who have purchased the donation only version of the game should have received your steam keys. You'll be able to play and start earning achievements the second the steam version releases this Friday!

Patch Contents:

This patch reduces the number of possible non-founder bot names to 10, and adds the first batch of founder names!

Future Content:

For now I want to see how the Steam release pans out before making any commitments to future content (I'd like to recoup cost of assets & Steam cost), however there is tons of design space still available and plenty of free CC4 assets I could still use (although I'd like to avoid this). Some ideas I currently have are:

• A unit with a small AoE that increases adjacent units attack permanently by 1.
• A unit that switches places of a unit within range.
• A unit that deals more damage the lower their health is
• A unit that swaps stats with other units.
• A unit that resets the Stat Block of a target unit (removes all buffs and debuffs).

These are just thoughts I have off the top of my head. Depending on feedback after launch I'll have a better idea what sections of flow of the game to streamline.

Thanks for playing my game!
