Since then it's been played by hundreds and hundreds of people, and continues to build a strong community on Discord.
If you've already bought a copy of Space Station Continuum while it's in Early Access, then I want to say thank you so much for joining us in creating this game. Your support is making a huge difference to the development of Space Station Continuum, and is allowing us to create a lot more music and art to realise its original vision. More on both of these coming soon.
Since launch, there have been eight updates released here on Steam. Each bringing a variety of new features, improvements, and bug fixes. Many of which have come directly from your feedback in the Steam Community Forum or on Discord.
At this point in development we're changing things up a little. Rather than small, incremental updates every week or two, we're now working on a large new update that will bring a whole collection of new features together. The most important of these features is Career Mode.
Warning: Developer Assets!
Career Mode is where the core gameplay of Space Station Continuum will start to come together. You'll begin building your Space Station from a single Module, and evolve it over time into a spawling in-orbit research and manufacturing facility.
When the first version of Career Mode launches, you'll be able to earn money and research points to expand your station and unlock new modules and equipment. You'll need to keep your Astronauts happy and healthy, while balancing power generation, energy storage, and heat dissipation onboard your Station. The Career Mode update will include many UI improvements to help you make this possible.
Post-launch updates will add more and more equipment and progression milestones, until eventually you're able to manage your Space Station all the way through the past, present, and future of human spaceflight.
This is a much larger update than anything we've released so far, and will take longer to create than a normal release. Watch this space for regular updates, screenshots, and other sneak peeks on progress. And don't forget to join the community on Discord for behind the scenes discussions.
I'm very excited about this next update and I can't wait to share more with all of you over the coming weeks!
