v0.20 — UNWRITTEN SKIES REBRAND (Sep 21)

Iron Frontier rebranded to Starmuff: Unwritten Skies · New title lockup — the skies were unwritten, so we wrote our name on them · Crew chatter updated, obviously · All saves and progress preserved

v0.19 — OPEN COMMS (Apr 27)

Ships are more personal now. Enemies, traders, and your own wingmen will occasionally blurt things out over open comms while you fly — some of it is what they meant to say, some of it definitely was not. Keep your radio on · Wingmen actually engage in combat again — fleet behavior is no longer secretly chained to your AUTO/MANUAL fire toggle. New "Hold Fire" option in Hangar → Fleet Settings if you want them to stand down (they still defend themselves) · "▶ Control" on a fleet ship now hands over cleanly without flinging the camera into the void · "Controlling Wingman" indicator stays pinned to the top of the screen the whole time, with a big RETURN TO CARRIER button that works on touch and desktop

v0.18 — CHALLENGER HAILS (Apr 21)

Hit Lv15 and the void starts noticing. Named ships now hail you out of nowhere with little speeches — ACCEPT, TAUNT (they hit harder, of course they do), or IGNORE (they sign off and gossip). 8 recurring Challengers and 3 Legends, each with a specific kind of poor judgment · Every 5th win, a Legend shows up instead of a regular Challenger — power scaling is uncapped on purpose, sorry not sorry · If you have a warlord bounty on your head, ~1 in 3 hails are now reflavored as "sent by [warlord]" · Yes, "Boom-Boom Renley" really has eleven warheads and you really did make it personal

v0.17 — WARLORD CHAMBER (Apr 19)

Three cards. One warlord. Several poor life choices. Tap ⚔ CHAMBER (or press C) near any warlord to enter a private duel — HEAT (fire) beats TRIBUTE (taxes) beats SETTLERS (humans) beats HEAT · Pick a tone each round (CHARM/MOCK/THREATEN) and the warlord reacts based on their mood right now · Three warlords with their own personalities and dozens of authored lines: Ash Veyr, Tithe-Saint Morrow, Marshal June Vale · They REMEMBER you across sessions — affinity slides through 5 bands (Nemesis · Hostile · Tense · Interested · Loyal Rival) and their dialogue changes with the band · Yes, settlers really do beat fire. We've been over this · Real-world consequences (ambushes, ceasefires, tribute cuts) wire into the sim next patch

v0.16 — IRON FRONTIER MUSIC PLAYER

Adaptive layered soundtrack: base exploration loop · tension layer when hostiles approach · combat layer in active battle · victory cue on kills · Menu playlist with 2 tracks (skip button on title + pause) · Anomaly worlds get their own music — fly close to a precursor/anomaly planet and the soundtrack shifts to one of two haunted-space tracks · Sound toggle silences all music · This is just the start — more unlock triggers coming

v0.15 — COLONY DOCTRINES & PROGRESSION SPINE

Colony Doctrine system at Tier 2 — 5 paths: Industrial, Military, Research, Trade, Civic · Passive bonuses per doctrine · Progression Spine HUD showing empire objective · Victory path trending · Doctrine persists across saves · Branding cleanup pass
