The Starship Simulator Demo is now available on GeForce Now! It's taken a while to get it all sorted, but we are so happy to finally be able to show the game to Mac users :) play.geforcenow.com/games?game-i... Have fun! #geforcenow #gamingnews

We've added core gameplay systems like planetary landings, probes, shuttles, dynamic star systems, and NPC logic over the past couple of months. Most aren't in game yet, but we're polishing them for early access. We're making great progress for early access! www.youtube.com/watch?v=ImbW...

Dan will be doing a 24-hour development stream on Youtube starting at the usual time today of 20:00 UTC. We are doing it for the absolutely amazing charity, SpecialEffect: youtube.com/watch?v=etiU... Please pop in and say hi, and maybe you'll even win a Captain or Rear Admiral perk! :)

The very first, and very basic, implementation of planetary landings has happened!

Our friends over at Messy Desk have done absolutely amazing work in the past few years to get to this stage. Go check it out :)

Yesterday's Dev stream, where we added more NPCs to the ship: www.youtube.com/watch?v=JH3D...

The last two internal updates have added White dwarfs and Planetary nebulae. #starshipsimulator #gaming #indiegame #space

VR development is going well, and we've also added Xbox controller support for those who want it!

We have now started VR development. We still have a way to go, but a concept build should be out in the next few weeks! #vr #vrgaming #spacegame #gaming #indiegame

🚀 #StarshipSimulator has a new, updated public demo and a new strategy for updates to that demo going forward. ✨ In this video we break down all the changes and new gameplay plus @starshipsimulator.bsky.social 's plans for the future. o7

Tech demo 3 is now out! Video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kdnb... If you would rather read about it, here it is: ko-fi.com/.../Tech-Dem.... Steam: store.steampowered.com/.../133.../S... #spacegame #gamingvideos #gaming #development #space

Bridge NPCs Players can take on the Captain's role, use the holo-display to select targets, instruct the Science Officer to perform scans, and direct the Helmsperson for navigation. This update also allows Science Officer players to remain at their station, a highly requested feature! #gaming

Sunday Funday! www.youtube.com/watch?v=zYwQ... #youtube #gamedev #devlog

Sunday Funday and the Wednesday Stream - www.youtube.com/@StarshipSim... This week, Dan created a new bridge ceiling with holo emitters. He also added some visible light shafts, which you'll be able to see with volumetric fog enabled. We've also added 248 country flag options for the uniforms!

Organic 3D Printers We've built a very early version of our organic 3D printers for the VIP lounge kitchens. They are a very basic work in progress, but a bit of fun for now! Thank you for the images, AyJayaredii and Xyon! #devlog #starshipsimulator #gaming

Just came across this little gem of a post-it note in Starship Simulator - also applies to people who work in an IT support role 😁 #StarshipSimulator @starshipsimulator.bsky.social

Interactive Holo-Display The Holo Display is now interactable, allowing you to click celestial objects in 3D space to target them on sensors. The goal is for the Captain to mirror any bridge station to the Holo Display and issue crew commands via a context-aware 3D UI menu. #spacegame #devlog

This week's update. We are extremely close to updating the public demo now. www.reddit.com/r/StarshipSi...

On the 26th April The Buur Pit hosted Pit Con 2025. 140 #EliteDangerous CMDRs /w the livestream raised £6646.48 for the charity @specialeffect.org.uk Here's a video showreel of that very special day: @tocoso.bsky.social @alzo.bsky.social @frontierdev.bsky.social @starshipsimulator.bsky.social

I haven't posted any updates for a little while because we're so close to our demo update, but as we're fixing a gazillion bugs, I'll post the Reddit link to them here ( too long to post here) 😊 www.reddit.com/r/StarshipSi...

Dan put together an amazingly detailed presentation about our galaxy on Starship Simulator at #pitcon. You can watch it here on The Buur Pit's YouTube channel! youtu.be/9XEw_qSheag?... (2:46:30) #spacegame #indiegame #gaming #space

Internal Development Build 0.225.0.83 - So many wall panels. • Updated the curved corner framework geometry at the fore of C Deck for better fit/layout. • Added numerous new floor panels on C Deck. • Added numerous new wall panels on C Deck. • Started adding some doorframes around C Deck.

Now that we're back from our two and a half week break, this update marks a return to our usual release cadence of 1-2 new development builds per week. It's now all hands on deck to get this demo update polished and out the door! #indiedev #devlog #gaming #spacegame

Dan is now live with more modelling for the demo update :) www.youtube.com/live/-Ehk-BP... #indiedev #unrealengine #UE5 #devlog

Here's our updated Magellan Class loading screen, which includes an actual ship construction sequence. #starshipsimulator #gaming #pcgaming #spacegame #indiegame

Many bug fixes this week, including getting the lift ready for the update. #gamedev #indiegame #PCGaming

We've added various fixes and little tweaks in this week's patch, including 'non-playable' pool balls and cues ( you can throw them around though :D ), and nanite tesselation to planetary surfaces, giving them very basic 3D terrain (from orbit - not landable surfaces). #gaming #spacegame

Our 2024 Project Review is now live across social media but due to the character length, I can't add it here. So here is the link :) Thank you for everyone's support in 2024, here's to a great 2025! www.kickstarter.com/projects/fle...

We've enhanced the Sensors UI with fresh Alien Civ Data for all the planets.

We hope you all have a wonderful Christmas and holiday time.

We've had a bit of a slow couple of weeks as we've been tackling some pesky bugs, but we're making great progress putting everything back together! Each day, we're getting closer to sharing the exciting demo update with you all. #devlog #pcgame #spacegame store.steampowered.com/app/1332100/...

Now that the new basic features for scanning are implemented, we're moving back to finishing off the internal construction. Floors, and panelling on decks B-F

Have a wonderful Halloween!

Nothing in 7 months! Apologies to everyone over here ( too many socials :D ) I would post our weekly updates here, but the character limit is too short, so it will be mini updates! We've been working hard since Kickstarter to get this much-needed demo update finished, not too long now.

Greetings everyone! I'm happy to announce that after what feels like an eternity, the Cold & Dark update is now live across the board for all players, including the public Demo. It's been a long road with many moving goalposts, but we're finally there! store.steampowered.com/news/app/133...

The second tutorial is close (ish) to being finished, we just need to put it all together and we can then set it live. As of our next update we're now using Nanite, which means from now on all game objects will have their detail turned up to 11!
