Just one week to go before ESS 2.0- Stepping Stone goes live! If all goes to plan, we hope to release the 2.0 open beta version on 15th November.

Since the last post, even more work has been completed. Mostly this falls into the debug and minor tweak categories but this work is really important. Cylero's two tiny moons, Exoo and Ilithos, are now bug-free (I hope) and I'm pretty sure that the Tydos SOI bug which plagued 1.0-1.3 has now been solved. Both Pedro and I have taken the opportunity that the slower development pace allowed to thoroughly test the new objects and review the older ones too. Members of the SRC discord have probably seen screenshots from this development work.

Frigios' lowlands have finally been fixed with some confusing XML changes, and Droo-2 is in its final day or two of editing. Hados is still not finished; the most irritating object in the Enhanced Solar System continues to swallow hours of my time for very little gain, but its getting done slowly.

Haven't tried ESS yet? Download ESS 1.3 here!

    Quick update, still on schedule for a Friday/Saturday release, all that remains is some final tweaking to Hados and testing of droo.

    @zxy666 You can get the latest versions of ESS for Android or PC/Mac if you go to the ESS mod post. Unfortunately 3.0 isnt yet available for mobile users, we are waiting on the experimental build of this game to go into beta stage.
    If youre on android youll still be able to access the full 2.0 release as well as bug fixes made in the 2.1 patch. :)

    Unfortunately, ESS is delayed by around 1 week due to some unexpected bugs. My apologies for this delay.
