This release includes Alpha Centauri, Vega, Betelgeuse and Altair from the 0.4 release and several new regions:

  • The arid shrubland of Rigel-Geb.
    Meet the Droog on planet Geb of Rigel and search the ancient pyramid out in the endless shrubland.
  • The wetlands of Rigel-Ixchel.
    Meet the other race of Droog on planet Ixchel of Rigel, which is blessed with an abundance of water.
  • The dark jungle moon of Vega, inhabited by Hassat.

Miscellaneous:

  • The endless shrubland was autogenerated (dunes terrain, plants & enemies).
  • New enemies were made for the new Vega moon as well as both planets of Rigel (simple re-textures & re-stats).
  • New terrain nodes were added for the wetlands of Ixchel (jungle re-textures of swamp nodes).
  • Race of green wetland Droog was added.
  • Additions to the Astral item set: sword, bow, amulet, hat & shoes - now 16 items altogether.
  • More small changes, of course.
  • Did you know that Rigel, not Betelgeuse, is the brightest star of Orion? The designation of Betelgeuse as Alpha Orionis is incorrect, Rigel deserves this title!
