Ahoy there! We’re right in the middle of the Galcon 2 Party and wanted to invite you all to join us! Here’s beta17 for Android<\/a>, Windows<\/a>, Mac<\/a>, and Linux<\/a>. (iOS TestFlight email will come shortly.) We’re going to be battling it out on the servers for a few hours to celebrate Galcon 2 and check out the newest features!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I want to introduce Kim Derome<\/a>, who has been working hard on creating the soundtrack for Galcon 2 over the past few months. I’m quite excited to be able to add in 5 original tracks by Kim. They are excellent and I hope you enjoy them!<\/p>\n

I was able to get Galcon 2 working on Android, thanks to a helpful internet person<\/a>! If you have an Android device, please check it out<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I’ve given the Galcon 2 store an overhaul, so now it’s got a more modern grid format. I’ve also added planet styles and colors, both of which I think really add a ton of fun to the game. In addition, I’ve overhauled the interface for betting so it’s just a few taps to set up. Lots of annoying bugs were also fixed. <\/p>\n

I’ve also given everyone an additional 10k coins to play with. (Note: we’re still in beta here, so at some point all coins earned \/ spent \/ etc will be reset. These are not the coins you paid for.)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Lastly, I’d like to thank Evan Sparano (esparano) for creating documentation<\/a> for the modding API! This is a huge help, so now when I work on Galcon, I’ll know what everything means. Also, he’s been working on a super secret project which will be fully revealed very soon<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Thanks everyone! Developing this game “in beta” is a most excellent experience!
