The Captain is Dead

Achievement Hunters Wanted!

Thunderbox Entertainment

We've been working like crazy on the next update, and I'm excited to say that it's a biggie!

Aside from a major pass on the animation, to improve the silky smoothness, we're adding two new characters (the versatile Hologram, and mysterious Scholar) and 36 brand-new achievements .

You may have already heard that these Medals (as we like to call them) are all rock hard. Our team have only been able to hit a paltry nine of them so far...

That's why we need help from you - the fearless, alien-fighting, ship-saving badasses - to make absolutely sure they all work as intended!

If you are going on an achievement hunt, you might want to arm yourself with the following knowledge...

  • You can view your Medal collection at any time from the Settings menu under Game -> Medals.
  • Click on a Medal to read the win conditions... working them out is half the battle!
  • Some of the Medals are hidden... these are character based and will be revealed if you start a game with the appropriate crew member.
  • Typing T-C-I-D will make the bug button appear at the top of the screen so you can use it to send feedback.
  • The Medals are not easy to get! Did we mention this already... don't expect a space cakewalk, m'kay!

Just sign up to the beta channel, let the auto-updater work its magic, and then go save that ship!

WAIT!

I almost forgot...

New crew incoming! You'll also get the Scholar with the latest beta update:

This wise, and mysterious lady will make getting those achievements juuuust that little bit easier. And trust me, you'll need all the help you can get!

Join the discussion on Discord to let us know how you do- we are standing by to be suitably impressed by your epic Medal collections!
