Game: Destination Sol
Hi all :-)
We're still adding the final touches to a new release process. But we've gotten a decent amount of fixes in and thought we'd try a beta release here on Steam (and on Google Play)
We've had it tested by a few people but before unleashing it on Steam & Android proper wanted to see if we could get a few more testers, just in case something is flawed in our process.
To beta test on Steam: Go to your library, right click Destination Sol, and enable Beta on its tab. Wait for the update, launch, confirm v1.1.0 in the bottom left and that the game works.
To beta test on Android: Go join our G+ community then opt in for beta testing. - the app should update on your device or you can install it if you don't have it yet
We're particularly interested for testing on Linux here on Steam as well as Android in general.
Change notes:
You can download the game outside of Steam here
We'll likely release officially this coming Friday (July 3rd) if all looks well.
Go forth and test! :-) Future releases should start increasing in content as we make it easier to tweak at the code.

Change notes:
- Migration to GitHub and general tidying up of code & structure
- You can now cycle through all resolutions supported by your system. No more crashing on unsupported ones.
- Key bindings can be changed, although not yet in the UI. Look for a settings.ini
- Linux support on Steam improved (we think? Please test!)
- Crash fix when changing from a two-gun ship to a smaller one-gun ship with a secondary gun equipped
- Fixed loss of a repair item every time you reload the same ship
- Fixed some minor wording in the tutorial
- Should work on Macs using Java 8 now (not yet on Steam)
