About this game
Welcome to the Traveler Spider galaxy.
A distant cluster of nebulae home to only one sentient species, the Traveler Spider.
The spiders and their supporting ecosystems have populated every planet in their galaxy.
Every few thousand years the ecosystems on all the planets in this galaxy reach a critical mass.
The atmosphere on every planet eventually becomes too dense and is ignited by the planet’s sun.
Most of the life on these planets is destroyed in this process.
But the spiders do live on.
With the guidance of their ancestors, a few spiders are chosen to restore balance to the galaxy.
Starting with the lesser spiders that live in the hollow carapaces of larger spiders.
These spiders serve a critical role in recolonizing their planets during the harsher seasons.
The giant spiders and their giant hollow carapaces host a complex ecosystem.
Supported by the lesser spiders they carry, the giant spiders must travel across the span of planets.
They do this in search of greener pastures, specifically when their sun is weakened by the seasons.
The spider’s presence can be seen at all scales in this galaxy, thanks to the spider sentinels.
The sentinels are star sized colossi that decide the fates of entire solar systems.
Without the sentinels, the stars themselves would not survive the turn of the seasons in this galaxy.
It’s not all hardship for the spiders though, they do have a season of prosperity in their galaxy.
With your help, and the help of the ancestors, the spiders will continue to prosper for countless seasons.

Demo Feature Update and What's Changing in the Main Game
It's been a few weeks since the game was featured in Next-Fest and I have been busy preparing for launch. I have combed over many of the games systems to make sure everything is as balanced and polished as I can get them.A lot has changed, mainly around the game's difficulty and accessibility. My vision for the game is to make an experience that engages players and makes them want to learn more about the world. But at the same time, I think it's important that a game has goals and challenges for players.So my main focus now that all of the games content is in place has been trying to find a level of difficulty/accessibility that is rewarding but not too much of an obstacle.To that end I have added several ways to make the gameplay across all maps easier to pick up and learn.This includes player markers to help with the player orientation, NPC markers on maps where they aren't always easy to spot, and a "sight" mechanic to reveal nearby objectives.I have also made a lot of smaller changes to the game's difficulty such as changes to stamina regeneration, NPC movement speed, etc.Today I am launching the last major patch to the demo before the games full release.It includes the sight feature as well as a new introduction sequence when starting a new game.For a full list of changes, check out the patch notes Here:Read full article on Community Announcements (icebathgamesdev)AnnouncementsOfficial
