Just because Iceberg Interactive’s Starpoint Gemini 2 is already up on Steam Early Access doesn’t mean they can’t add big features to the game. This latest update gives Starpoint Gemini 2 Steam Workshop support, so all you wanna be engineers better bust out the graph paper.
This isn’t some one off hand me down from Iceberg Interactive either, they’re committed to opening up Starpoint Gemini 2 as much as the can to gamers in the community, like you. So you can run amuck changing, editing, tweaking and even taking Starpoint Gemini 2 to its limits with an all out Total Conversion if you see fit. Word to the wise, we’ve seen many a Total Conversion flounder so make sure to bring a good team if you’re going that route. For those of you wondering, yes Oculus Rift support is still planned by the time the game releases, so don’t go all crossed eyed on us just yet.
