Way back when I first started Underspace my vision was always consistent: A game where you fly out into space with your buddies and get into supernatural cosmic adventures. Now that's finally a reality: We fought a storm then got trapped in magic space prison and had to escape. I could almost cry.

store.steampowered.com/news/app/111... Underspace's first public multiplayer test is now available! Fly with your friends, have house parties, get eaten by a ghost starship. Just remember to forward your ports. #underspace #gamedev #indiegame #space #spacegame

Underspace's multiplayer alpha test is almost here! Hang out with your friends. Meet a god. Fight a god. Kill a god. Eat something weird. Mess with your friend while he's trying to close on a house. Invite that friend to your house. #gamedev #underspace #indiegame #multiplayer #screenshotsaturday

Multiplayer's coming along! Did you know that it works with mods right out of the box and that you can pirate other players? You now know. #gamedev #underspace #indiegame #multiplayer

I redid some of the server options to match the rest of the game's options menu, and added a bunch of new server options for admins to really customize how your experience. It's something I appreciate in games these days. #gamedev #underspace #indiegame #multiplayer #screenshotsaturday

More multiplayer stuff: Players can declare themselves for a faction (which affects IFF, good for roleplay and such), and also get assigned titles as well. #gamedev #underspace #indiegame #multiplayer #screenshotsaturday

Character appearances, other players, other ships, and chat have all been restored to functionality. This whole shebang might go faster than I thought. #gamedev #underspace #indiegame #multiplayer

Let's get back to multiplayer: Account creation, character creation and customization, and the basics of connecting to a server have all been restored. Hoping to get the first multiplayer release out to our closed beta testers soon. #gamedev #underspace #indiegame #multiplayer #friendslop

Prepare to run some blockades: The game's wanted system has received an overhaul! Committing pirate activity when wanted will alert battleships to your position, as it has in the past, but now they're much better about chasing you and also are a hell of a lot stronger. #underspace #gamedev

store.steampowered.com/news/app/111... Underspace's first post-newyears update is now live! Featuring: Sitting in chairs, more mod support, and some other bullshit. The sitting in chairs part is the most important. You couldn't even do that in Morrowind, it's THAT advanced. #underspace #indiegame

store.steampowered.com/news/app/111... One final update for #Underspace for the year! I've been busy. Hundreds of new news stories and books to read, tons of new NPCs to talk to, quest improvements, and oh yeah fully integrated mod support + the Steam Workshop. #gamedev #indiegame #space

Fuck it, I'mma add steam workshop support to #Underspace #gamedev

Our next update for #Underspace drops on December 31st, and one of the last things I'm bringing is over 40+ new NPCs to talk to: Small little guys that are there for worldbuilding, backer rewards, and rumormongers. Because not everything has to contribute to the Almighty Gameplay Loop. #gamedev

Underspace's next big update drops at the end of the year, and part of that involves doing a pass on quests: General improvements and small bits like additional attacks on minibosses, more sound, more Grafics, relit quest interiors, etc. #underspace #gamedev #indiegame #spacegame #spacedev

The latest beta branch update of Underspace now includes its full modding SDK, including documentation! I'm also working on Steam workshop support, and I'm pretty sure some dude is already porting Freelancer's ship's into the game now. #underspace #gamedev #indiedev

Weep and beg whatever gods you believe in, because Underspace's modding editor and model importing system are all working. See this train? This train right here was made in the game's modding SDK, from tip to tail. We're all going to die. #underspace #gamedev #modding #indiedev #space

www.nexusmods.com/morrowind/mo... I made a mod that replaces cliffracers with Thomas the Tank Engine. I am incapable of learning lessons whenever it involves corporations, because I fundamentally do not view toy company CEOs or media CEOs as people. #morrowind #thomasthetankengine

It's funny watching people expect translations into other languages for Underspace when like The game has four million words in terms of readable text. The money it'd take to translate that into even one other language would be around fifteen times the game's current budget.

Fixed up some missile bits for the game. They were due for a fix. #underspace #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiegame #gamedevelopment

It's taken a shitload of work and a lot of sweat and tears, but Underspace is now almost entirely data driven, and can support mods for a ton of stuff. Wanna port over ships from... other games? Go ahead with this upcoming update. #underspace #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiegame #gamedevelopment

Two months. Two friggin months of nonstop writing for this: Over 450 news stories and blurbs on every single space station and planet. This was the most miserable bit of work I've ever worked on. #gamedev #indiegame #spacegame

steamcommunity.com/games/111193... Spend an entire week porting the game over to a new version of Unity, and lo and behold there's been massive gains (surprising, given that it's Unity). Anyway there's a beta branch for the game now for all these new goodies.

store.steampowered.com/news/app/111... Before all disappear to play Silksong, why not check out a new Underspace patch with some news about upcoming stuff like multiplayer, plus some visual goodies! #underspace #gamedev #indiegame

Good god the scalpers and scammers begging for steam keys just NEVER ends. I must have gotten fifteen emails in the past two hours alone from dudes who can't even bother to pretend that they aren't just sending out a premade response.

Some new small changes coming with Underspace's next patch. For starters I've redone the Veil nebula to be more appropriately darker. After all, it's space hell. It should look the part. #underspace #gamedev #gamedevelopment #indiegame #indiegamedev #indiegame

store.steampowered.com/news/app/111... Happy International Cat Day! To celebrate, we've a new patch that lets you do stuff like add custom paintings to place into your house. Or make your cat into a custom ship paintjob. #underspace #gamedev #gamedevelopment #indiegame #indiegamedev #indiegame

Custom paintjobs for your ship (beyond just dyes!). Turn anything into a ship texture, like a picture of my cat. Or a picture of your cat. #underspace #gamedev #gamedevelopment #indiegame #indiegamedev #indiegame

Customization! You can use custom loading screens (which will pull from your screenshot folder) and decals on your ship. Be the god of your own unhappiness. #underspace #gamedev #gamedevelopment #indiegame #indiegamedev #indiegame

Who's ready for some custom content? You can now take custom images and put them in your game as paintings for your house and decals for your ships. No limits, all the responsibility. #underspace #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiegame #gamedevelopment

You thought I was done? You thought you were free? I've got another patch for Sotha Sil Expanded for #Morrowind, which adds a ton of new unique meshes and detailing bits, as well as requested features like a way back to Tamriel once you reach the city proper. www.nexusmods.com/morrowind/mo...

In the midst of updating to a newer engine version (haha oh god that's going to suck) some little new bits and features are coming. You can now color and dye your houses, just like your cockpit or your ship. #underspace #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiegame #gamedevelopment

Patch 1.45.0 for Underspace is now live! This brings forth a lot of hotfixes. It's mostly fixes, but I also made the Darkon entity worse. In case you were worried. store.steampowered.com/news/app/111... #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev

store.steampowered.com/news/app/111... Our HUGE new update for Underspace is now live! Customize your ship, your cockpit, your life, your house. The Color Out In Space is out just in time for the Steam Summer Sale! #underspace #gamedev #gamedevelopment #indiegame #indiegamedev #indiegame

Final thing for this update involves more detailing on various stations and a few new NPCs to talk to. Because who doesn't play an RPG for that sweet sweet lore. #underspace #gamedev #gamedevelopment #indiegame #indiegamedev #indiegame

store.steampowered.com/news/app/111... Our next milestone update, The Color Out In Space, launches June 26th. Come get a preview and a sale! #underspace #gamedev #gamedevelopment #indiegame #indiegamedev #indiegame

This has been a requested feature for a while: map notes! You can now write down and place pins on your map (and in the description of a star system). #underspace #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiegame #gamedevelopment

You know maybe work on the game could go faster if there wasn't fourteen pounds of cat in my way.

It’s important in a game with a constructed world to feel like the people in that world not only exist, but that they also suck. To that end I’ve added over 150 new advertisements for billboards into the game. #underspace #gamedev #gamedevelopment #indiegame #indiegamedev #indiegame

All additional customization options are in. There's over 300 new housing items, 50+ new dyes, ornaments, and decals for your ship, and various art smugglers, sculptors, and traders you can talk to, plus new rewards, loot, etc. #underspace #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiegame #gamedevelopment

Mister Maudlin's special drinks now make you see weird visions of dead civilizations now. He's THAT kind of bartender. #underspace #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiegame #gamedevelopment

Been redoing graphics for certain places (like giant ruined space cathedrals) and you can now purchase every house in game. #underspace #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiegame #gamedevelopment

Ain't done yet! You can now dye and color your cockpits using the same system you use to paint your ship. #underspace #gamedev #gamedevelopment #indiegame #indiegamedev #indiegame

Houses aren't the only things you can stuff your nonsense into. Cockpits can now be detailed and decorated with the exact same decorating system. No limits, no restrictions, all the consequences. #underspace #gamedev #gamedevelopment #indiegame #indiegamedev #indiegame

Added player housing and decorating. Still need to do some stuff (controls on screen, surface align options, adding several hundred furniture pieces to buy and decorate with), but the baseline system is in and works. #underspace #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiegame #gamedevelopment

Apparently ain't no work getting done today.

Bottoms up. Mister Maudlin's drinks are now physical items you'll have to actually down, complete with cutscene of the subsequent knowledge, if you want to pass through ancient gates. #underspace #gamedev #gamedevelopment #indiegame #indiegamedev #indiegame

All planets now have full takeoff and landing animations. #underspace #gamedev #gamedevelopment #indiegame #indiegamedev #indiegame

One more planet detailed. And with that, every space station and planet in the game is now able to be explored in full. #underspace #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiegame #gamedevelopment

More things coming to Underspace with our next update. deadzone settings (which is off by default because a deadzone in this kind of game is awful), an overhead map view, and new planets to explore! #underspace #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiegame #gamedevelopment

www.nexusmods.com/oblivionrema... So Oblivion Remastered still has level scaling, despite this one aspect of the game being legendarily absolute shit. Unfortunately that dashes my plans to mod it in full, but I've still put out a mod that actively delevels the game's item quest rewards. #oblivion
