Patch 3.4.0 ended up with so much content, it deserved its own trailer!
Please don't share this, as the patch isn't out yet, but should be very, very soon!
As part of our first Starfield project, you earn a new Jetpack. Due to the nature of the little story surrounding this, it needed to be something extremely unique and stylish, so our wonderful concept artist Cynical_Bounce came up with the idea for a winged jetpack which is now fully realized and playable in-game!
Coming soon to a Creatio...
As part of the next major patch (3.4.0), we've got some new quests for you!
These ended up needing a pretty significant amount of level design - thought you guys might like to see some of the work and speculate on what we've got cooking.
Still no date on the patch, but we're pushing for August/September!
I've mentioned this idea in the past, and it's almost here - faction outfits!
Throughout Chapter 3, we have you establishing a Faction - choosing a name, setting up an ideology, building an HQ and army - but we don't have much in the way of a visual identity yet.
We've always wanted to have a system where you c...

It's time for me to take a leap.
I wish I could have shared it sooner, but the news involved a much bigger fish than me making an announcement first.
I invite you all to a private Q&A tonight at 9PM Central so we can discuss the future! If you'd like to be a part, please join our new Discord: 2023-12-05 14:08:26 +0000 UTC

Currently on a mission to get some footage for all of our talented voice actors so they can add their performances to their demo reels.
If any of you has a system powerful enough to run OBS and would be up for recording a few play sessions, we could use the assist! I posted on the forums with some more specific details: 2023-10-24 20:02:54 +0000 UTC

One of the things I knew we were lacking is an immersive way for people to see the results of a battle. While I absolutely love the arcade-y post battle screen in cinematic mode, it's not for everyone.
When Patch 3.1.0 drops next month, this new note based report system will offer an alternate way to view results!
In addition, this...
As part of our post-launch plans, we're preparing a series of major patches that will introduce new features and story content. Thought I'd start sharing some of these with you all as we get them closer!
First up is the Uniform system. You'll be able to establish a standard underarmor set for all your troops so everyone can have a sort of...
As you guys know, we like to have an epic graphic for each Chapter to use in all of our thumbnails and marketing materials.
Thanks to our amazing artist CynicalBounce, I think we've got the best one yet for C3!
Please don't share this yet! Want it to be revealed to non-patrons when we finally drop the trailer (I promise its soon, we...

Imagine this with 30 color options and dozens of emblems (hundreds after addon authors get their hands on it)!
Ignore my poor color palette for this prototype, one of our artists is on the case to bring you a great set of color and emblem options.
Hey City Leaders - I'm looking for some alpha testers!
We're starting a new round of testing of all the new mechanics coming to C3! Test will start in the next day or two.

One of the things I love about the plot gameplay, is that you can actually use it without ever reacting to a pop-up message by default. Just place a plot, and it will do it's thing eventually. (Obviously we have menus via the ASAM Sensor - but if you don't activate it ever, the plot will still eventually be assi...

With the 3.0.0 patch, you'll be able to treat patients yourself if you have Medic perks!
In addition, even those of you without Medic perks will be able to do this so long as your settlement has a medical plot (ie. Clinic, Hospital, or Field Medics)
This Treatment bypasses recovery timers, plot limits, and known cures!

This trailer may actually drop publicly tonight - waiting for our graphic artist to send me the thumbnail. For now - this is a sneak peek for Patreon City Leaders+!
Would have loved to get it to you guys a little sooner but I've been all over the place for the holidays.
One of my dream features for Conqueror is becoming a reality- capturing strategic locations!
We're still working out the mechanic specifics, but the basic idea is we want to allow you to secure various locations with your soldiers to provide bonuses to your empire.
This is one of those mechanics that once we started exploring it, r...
This was on my wishlist through Conqueror's development, but I didn't know how to do it back then- so glad we finally get to add it for SS2!
2022-10-18 05:03:21 +0000 UTC View PostLast week I posted an idea for an experiment for next patch and it's going well! You guys have some great ideas for me to put to the community for vote, and have put some bugs on my radar that weren't in the queue.
It is taking a little longer to line up schedules with the folks participating than I had hoped, so the ideas will be part of...
For next patch, I'm going to do an experiment.
Before I explain it, I want to lay out the current SS2 bug handling pipeline so we're all on the same page. Also, this will act as a filter - as if you're not willing to read this wall of text, you're probably not going to want to be part of the experiment anyway!

So glad to have Patrols back! For those of you who missed Conqueror, you'll basically be allowed to setup people to patrol between two settlements to help protect both of them!

Lot going on in this video, first off it's showing the simple Conscription system whereby you'll be able to bring settlers into your army - much like you can bring them to HQ... but obviously the aggressiveness of the player has to leave you scratching your head.
One of the systems coming in Chapter 3 is an ideology system, wher...
