A build is one published version of the game's files on a branch. Steam assigns a new build ID every time the developer pushes an update, so this list is the update history of the app. The files inside a build (depot manifests) are only readable with an account that owns the game, which SteamRaw does not have yet, so build contents are not shown.

Hi retro pilots! Here is a summary of the latest and major improvements to the game: Balance Changes: After adding a gems magnet to the ship hulls, Redbeard has done it again! The ship hulls now include an improved gems container that will allow pilots to retain 50% of the gems earned during a sector visit, even if the ship is destroyed. You will thus be able to keep half the gems on death. As a result of increasing R&D costs, Redbeard has decided to buy used items at only 80% of their initial price. QoL improvements: The game now supports keyboard and controller at the same time. This means t
Let's celebrate the end of this year and also hard games as we think the "Best game you suck at" would be a great category to vote for DreadStar. Of course, you can choose another one such as Best Soundtrack, Outstanding Visual Style or any other category you think would fit... The game will soon launch a 10% discount for the sale so stay tuned ! We wish you all a great Autumn Sale and hope you'll have a blast during these troubled times.
Here are the update notes for version 1.04: Bug Fixes: Fixed a small visual issue with the shields upgrades showing +1 damage bonus instead of +20%. QoL improvements: Added a controller deadzone setting to allow players to tweak their controller's responsiveness. Very low/high values tend to bug so the default is set to 0.48.
Here are the update notes for version 1.03: Bug Fixes: Fixed an issue with shields not correctly registering the damage bonus to weapons. Fixed an issue where buying an item would occur twice with a controller if you had enough gems. Balance changes: Lowered the repair price from 25 to 15. It made warping out of a sector a bit of a hassle and should now be a more interesting option. QoL improvements: Added a separate volume bar for music and sfx so you can fine tune their levels (some sounds still need some remixing because they are too loud). Improved the activation area for the skill up butt
Here are the patch notes from the v 1.02 update to the game: Bug fixes: Fixed the Betelgeuse sector end level sometimes not triggering. Fixed the sector rewards (they were incorrect and sometimes rewarded twice). Added the missing sounds to the "speed up" and "speed down" platforms in the Mazinger sector. The Avatar of Brahma now correctly has less hit points if you managed to get to him faster. Another tentative fix for the black screen issue. Thank you for your patience and please report any bug to the troubleshooting forum!
{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/36177523/7b83f7ccb9ce5346b6a618082e08b1a145c65803.png Here is the changelog for the game's first update! Bug Fixes: Fixed the disappearing Betelgeuse sector boss in 2nd phase. Added a timer to the repair button so that gamepad controllers no longer hit it twice in a row. Balance changes: Corrected the experience granted by killing asteroids from the Aldebaran sector (it was way too low).
{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/36177523/0171bfe01d1a4126b6ab094435e528746b2ad186.png Release day has arrived and DreadStar is now available for purchase, with a 10% launch discount. No need to wait anymore so warp your ship to Steam and grab your copy with a 10% launch discount before it's too late ! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/36177523/fe01177ad64376622b6a892c8008f1af7875e45e.png
Here are the patch notes from the recent update to the demo build: Balance changes: Reduced the rate of fire of the Strong Hunter enemy. Bug fixes: Fixed an issue when several controllers were used at the same time. Fixed an issue with the initial configuration sometimes failing. Fixed an issue with controllers d-pad where the dpad would lock and be unresponsive. Fixed an issue where using a controller didn't allow you to change the values on the slidebars (volume, exp modifier and gems modifier). Fixed an issue where the green alien would actually put you into negative amounts of gems. He now
Hi everyone! We have just updated the demo with a fix to the key settings. Due to an earlier fix, the key settings weren't working correctly with controllers.
