[TLDR: Mod Support Announced, Regular updates frequency will be reduced during mod support implementation.]

Hi everyone,

Several request have been made in the past to add mod support for Celestial Breach, I've been slowly working in the background to check if it's possible technically and legally. And it is!

Long Story Short here's the key info:

• Modded maps
  
• Modded weapons
  
• Modded special abilities
  
• Modded airplane classes
  
• Modded enemies

Map modding will be added first (it's the easiest technically), and the rest will progressivly follow, if the demand is high enough..


The exact workflow is yet to be officially decided. What is sure is:

1. The Unreal Engine will directly be used with a project "Celestial Breach Modding SDK" provided directly in the Game files or on steam Workshop. Unreal Engine can be downloaded from Epic's webstie (free).
   
   
2. Mods Examples will be provided in the SDK Project, along with a step by step documentation on how to export your modifications to sSteam Workshop will be avaliable as a PDF, (future player made tutorial are also welcome.)
   
   
3. The Engine version is yet to be decided, currently Celestial Breach is on 4.12.5 but It might be necessary (or a good thing) to update to 4.14 or 4.15 before adding mod support.

If you want the earliest access to mod support and are willing to test very unstable build. Feel free to join the Celestial Breach Mods Group and contribute by testing the first "mod supported" Game builds and mod creation Tools and Documentaion.

I don't want to give exact dates as unforseen problems can always occur, but you can expect at least around 2-3 weeks of wait time before official map modding support. Regular updates frequency will be reduced during modding support implementation.

Thanks for reading, and have fun!

Hello,

As you might have noticed, there is a missing devblog in the middle of january, I've been more focused on working on the game instead of sharing what has been made sorry.

So This "DevBlog" (or progress post) Contains everything *interesting* that has been added or modified in the game from the early access launch. (See the boring changelog for all the changes).

By the way, a lot of things were added from players suggestions, and thanks a lot for that! Some things might never have come to my mind.

Here's the Full Post with videos and more details[celestialbreach.com]

And here's a small summary, if you just quickly want to know:

• HUD/Controls update
  
• New Space Strike Ability
  
• New EMP Ability
  
• Added Gun Sight
  
• Added Minimap
  
• New Enemy Type
  
• New Objective Delta Canyon Map
  
• Cockpit View
  
• New Secondary Weapon “Multipurpose Missile”
  
• Performances corrections

Hello,


First of all, after update 0.4.6 from january 5, The way the joystick/Special Inputs are saved have changed.

So if you were using Flight joysticks Before january 5, please go to

"%APPDATA%\..\local\FireStarter\Saved\SaveGames"

and Delete this file:

"specialinputsettings.sav"

Then you'll need to map you flight joystick again.

I'm really sorry to ask you to do that, but I figured this would be a quicker fix for you to delete this file than waiting a day or two for a patch, won't happen again.


The early access launch went quite well and we are actively trying to take into account your recommandations, suggestions and problems (such as direct fire keys, resolutions missing, and other things you submitted)

The priority right now is fixing the problems that you may encounter, but apart from that, new content is also on the way, like new enemies, missions and maps. (you can take a look at the twitter account for small previews)

So a big thanks to all the contributers/players from the Pre-early access testing and the recent early access launch!

Hello everyone,


I want to say a really big thank you to all the testers who contributed by submitting feedback, bug reports and feature requests on a such early devloppement stage. You really contributed to making the game more balanced, stable and fun prior to Early access.

The input from the community will of course continue to be taken as seriously as before, You will always be able and are encouraged to post feature requests, bug reports and other thoughts you may have about the game :)

The devloppement progress of this game is far from being finished, and a huge amount of new features and content is planned to be implemented during early access, as well as other "non-planned" features that players may request.
