So with October now fast approaching and no new test builds in a while we wanted to just let you all know that we're still here and working on Idol Empire. That being said quite a few of the versions are proving either quite unstable or bugs are being picked up after the builds are compiled resulting in fast periods of change internally - this meaning we're then mostly focusing on the next wave of fixes straight away. Our aim is to get a new one up soon so please accept our apologies and that we'll hopefully have some new content for you soon. In addition as there is still quite a bit of work to be done the projected release date will remain as TBA but we'll share this with you all once a decision is made.
In the meantime here is a sneak peak of two new aspects you can expect in the next version, the first is a revision to the main menu's start UI along with a new option 'Quasar Battle' (details will be made available in the release notes) and the second is a wealth of new decorations for your office. The aim will be to have decoration options unlock as you meet specific milestones in your game session giving you more options the longer your session goes on. Remember to let us know what you think of the game so far and if there is anything that you would like to see in the final game, it may just evolve into something behind the scenes.
In other news you'll have likely seen or heard that we've started revealing some of the concepts already designed for Sunrider 4, if you haven't checked them out yet we highly recommend doing so as these include the uniform designs we've been messing with as well as first looks at the character sheets for cast members. These can be quickly accessed on the post tab of our page followed by selecting the filter 'Sunrider Captain's Return'.
One of which you'll find as the final image attached to this post - fresh off the press and for our favourite marauding space pirate of the stars, Cosette Cosmos. Just remember to complement her on how she has grown since the last entry, getting on her bad side this early on is not recommended especially with the menacing vibes coming off that right boot.
