Commanders! I am sending a distress signal of the highest magnitudes to your battlestations! We have detected a strange presence of an unearthly megabehemoth entity after uncovering these ancient plans to what seems like.. a buildable precursor ship?! Whatever it is, we need to react fast and use the necessary means to take down these monstrosities before they wipe out the rest of our star fleets! As always, the crew is standing by awaiting your orders..Commander. http://store.steampowered.com/app/782270/Halcyon_6_The_Precursor_Legacy/

DLC Features

You want the good news or the bad news first? Good news: you closed a Chruul portal, congratulations, no more Chruul spawn ruining your day. Bad news: the damage has already been done. The weakened dimensional elasticity of your galaxy has allowed other strange creatures to somehow leak into this dimension. And some are big enough to swallow entire fleets. Good thing you found an ship schematic unlike anything you’ve seen before, hidden away in the depths of Halcyon 6’s data archives. *NOTE*: Old save games will not see the DLC content. A new game start is required to experience the DLC. CELESTIAL BEHEMOTHS

• Hunt and eradicate 5 different species of Celestial Behemoths to obtain Precursor artifacts
• Upgrade your Precursor ship using the collected artifacts
• Hunt and eradicate 5 ancient Behemoth Elders for powerful trophies and lore
• Boost the power of your fleet by equipping Elder trophies onto your ships

PRECURSOR STARSHIP

• Start your battle against the Chruul on the right foot by adding the Precursor ship to your fleet
• Upgrade your Precursor ship all the way to TIER 6!
• Unique New Precursor powers can reduce enemy resistances to make combos easier

We're back from Gamescom and have some awesome news this week in terms of content for you all! I’ll start first with this one... We have added a NEW difficulty for you guys - WARNING: not for the faint of heart! Ur-Admirax is the new difficulty level above Grand Admiral! Can you handle the heat? Or will it be the end of your fleet?! We have also rebalanced ground combat encounters to be tougher further into the campaign - so say a prayer for your fellow green shirts! Pixel art has always been something our entire team has been passionate about, and we are so excited to share with you the art behind Halcyon 6 from its early stages of pre-production to our now in-game final art! Our artbook contains 49 pages of pixelated goodness designed for you by our artists and content designers. This art book was a previously timed exclusive just for Kickstarter backers, but now made available for purchase to further support our dev work on Halcyon 6! The Art of Halcyon 6 can be purchased here: http://store.steampowered.com/app/706910/Halcyon_6_Lightspeed_Edition__Artbook/

BUG FIXES:

• Fixed bug where difficulty levels were not affecting difficulty of ground combat encounters
• Ghost Pepper Bomb no longer removes Blinded status effect
• Delayed Recovery now has limited uses
• Fixed bug with some space monsters having the wrong class type
• Fixed various typos in scripts and tutorial
• Fixed bug with XP upgrades for new officers

Last but not least.. We’d like to thank you all for your support of Halcyon 6 and hope that you love Ur-Admirax as much as we do! Feel free to share some action-packed Ur-Admirax screenshots and videos on social media and tag us with the hashtag #halcyon6game #uradmirax so we can retweet you :) <3 H6 Team

Early reviews of Lightspeed Edition are in:

"Overall, Halcyon 6: Lightspeed Edition is still an amazing game.. There’s so much to do in this game that it is ridiculous to figure out where to start and stop, and I don’t believe you could ever get bored with it if you keep exploring the options available to you. This is definitely a game you need to buy." - Score: 9.5 - BleedingCool.com "All in all, if you're a fan of turn-based strategy titles, excel in resource management, adore space-based games, and reminisce 16-bit retro visuals in games, Halcyon 6: Lightspeed Edition is a game that you absolutely shouldn't miss out on." - Score: 8.5 - Neowin.net "I love it, though it can be really complicated at times, Halcyon 6: Lightspeed Edition is a solid upgrade the the already stellar strategy/action game." - Score: 7.6 - EntertainmentBuddha.com "Whether you’re a fan of those classic JRPGs that we mentioned throughout the article, or you love that deep tactical allure which reels you in every time, Halcyon 6: Lightspeed Edition is one game you’ll want to have in your gaming library and certainly one where you’ll be heavily invested in it for hours." - Honey's Anime

Modding Guide (work in progress)

Our own illustrious game producer, Grendel, has starting writing the Official Guide to Modding Halcyon 6. You can find this guide right over here: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1110231965 Please note it's a work in progress so it will get more details and additional sections over time!

And one more thing ;)

Please, when you have a moment, write us a review. Halcyon 6: Lightspeed Edition is still not showing a score so it'd be a big help to have more reviews posted and we do look forward to the feedback! Thanks again for your support! More news soon! The Halcyon 6 Team
