This simple construction demo makes waiting for the release date a bit easyer.
Short demonstration video
Note: Both versions are for Windows 64bit only!
Dropbox download link release: 14-Okt-2019
Updated original v2.4 demo.
-Minor UI improvements

-Default grid can now be enabled/disabled in the settings screen.
-Beam auto rotation.
-No plates in this version.
-FPV character mode, walk inside your creations, very usefull for building ships to scale.

) and start over.

Dropbox download link release: 11-Sept-2019
This version includes:
-Minor UI improvements
-Updated beam models and textures, these are the new official models and textures.
-Redesigned building system, from point-click-spawn(old demo version) to spawn-drag-stick.
-Smooth object placement and rotation, this is optional it can be turned off in the new settings screen.
-Object auto rotation, only straight beams and armor plates can use this and it can also be turned off in the settings screen.
-Nolfinkol's Armor plates, the angled plates need more work so these are not included in this version.
-FPV character mode, walk inside your creations, very usefull for building ships to scale.
There are a few problems with it:
-The new build system is...very sensitive, it can be hard to build annything sometimes, switching auto rotate and auto snap(auto stick) on or off helps sometimes.
-The positions of the new blocks are a bit different compared to the old version, this makes old saves slightly useless.
-The save load function can still be buggy sometimes, if you can't save your progress make sure that you have a folder called Save inside
C:\Users\insert username\AppData\LocalLow\DefaultCompany\starbase beams\
replace "insert username" with your own username
If you don't have a Save folder, create a new folder and name it Save, this should fix the problem.
Because of some personal problems IRL, updating and releasing new features will need more time, this is also the reason why the new version feels a bit rushed and unpolished and in some areas still unfinished, and it's one of the reasons why i decided to upload two versions of the demo.
I will still do my best to help with any problems that i can, as best as i can, so don't be shy and ask for help if you need it!
The demo is a work in progress, try it out and let me know if you have any problems, questions, suggestions or annything else.
Thanks for trying it out and for all the awesome positive responses.
