Greetings cadets!  

Version 0.3.8 of Starwatch Academy has been released. This release add new main story content, new side content, new features and fixes some issues found in the previous release. 

This update continues the main storyline as we get closer to the big changes coming with version 0.4.0. In that spirit, cruiser and battlegroup players can meet their soon to be exclusive characters, Natalie and Erika.

In addition, it is now possible to work as a maid at the Among the Stars cafe. I won't spoil you the surprise of how the hell that happens, but do keep in mind that a daring maid makes additional tips at the cafe. With a total of twelve customers to meet and bond with, this is the first step to a much greater experience we are looking to offer to our players.

It is also now possible to enter into a relationship with Diane if you missed that chance during orientation week, or mend it if things went wrong.

Have fun!
