[New Loc Beta] Seeking native Polish speakers for the Crying Suns beta version

2026-07-17

Hello dear Crying Suns players! We’re wrapping up an update for Crying Suns. It mainly includes bug fixes, along with an upgraded version of Unity to ensure the game remains maintenance-friendly as long as possible. We are also adding Polish as a new language (with the kind contribution of Maria Curie-Skłodowska University). We’re therefore looking for Polish-speaking players to help us test a beta version of the game for a few days and make sure everything is working well before release—both technically and in terms of localization. Please contact the team on discord (discord.gg/altshift) or by email (contact@altshift.fr) if you’re a native Polish speaker, already a player of the game on Steam and are interested in testing this new version! See you soon!

FTL with macro management. Mini Total War in space. But with ships. I wish there was a bit more depth when it comes to pilots and spaceships, however. With couple of updates or additions it could have been turned into a masterpiece. Yet banger of a game. I didn't know how much I needed it.
