Final bits of stuff before next week's update: Lots of new places to explore and stations detailed, new NPCs to talk to, and Kardoz's personal log is now written in full.

[underspacegame]

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).

[underspacegame]

Will any of these upcoming updates make the game run better?

This is a large scale open world RPG about fighting space leviathans the size of planets. It is running on a game engine designed for mobile games about ducks.

It is a miracle the game can be played at all, to be honest.

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.

[underspacegame]

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.

Sorry Todd, you had to go. Mister Maudlin's special drinks now make you see weird visions of dead civilizations now. He's THAT kind of bartender.

[underspacegame]

You can now purchase every house in the game.

[underspacegame]

You don't get to be free from me! You'll never escape, because we're never done and it never ends!

Anyway now you can color your cockpit and paint it just like you can the exterior of your ship.

[underspacegame]

Ain't done yet. That whole housing system? You can also use it for your ship's interior. No limits, no restrictions, and all the consequences of the universe laid bare at your feet.

[underspacegame]

Did you think I'm done? Did you think I was finished with you? I will NEVER be finished. Surface drag, tons more items, being able to control the lights in your house and controls and more.

Does this contribute anything to gameplay? Does every fucking thing with you have to be about the "Central Gameplay Loop"? Can't a game just have a fun feature for the sake of enjoying yourself? Are you unable to let yourself feel joy unless you're under the impression that you're making ultimately meaningless progress? Like fuck, buddy.

[underspacegame]

Ready to be a homeowner? Player housing is now implemented. You can now buy houses, acquire furnishings, and decorate everything to your heart's content (including displaying trophies or getting nice little service items to make your life easier).

[underspacegame]

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 Gates.

[underspacegame]

Every planet and station in Underspace is now detailed and able to be explored, from the frosty cactus laden world of New Cateli, to the poison-choked skyline of Pelindus.

[underspacegame]

Even more planets to explore are coming with the next milestone update!

Demendar was once a polluted fuckball, now slowly being reclaimed by its natural forests.

Demendren by contrast is an overpopulated cityscape, brimming with urban nonsense.

[underspacegame]

Underspace just passed a year in Early Access, and to celebrate we're adding new customization options. So get ready to get tacky, because you're now able to unlock and weld tchotchkes to the front of your ship.

[underspacegame]

Have YOU properly befriended the weirdos that gravitate towards you like AI art scammers towards fanfic websites? Well good news! Once you've completed a squadmate's personal quest you can now fast travel to their homeworld.

Look at this shit. She's just glaring at me from underneath my desk when I try to explain that no, her fat ass sat on me for five hours and she needs to get up and do cat things. She's not listening.

It's important to understand that every single day this cat comes up to me and screams at me until I put her in my lap, at which point she does this and sleeps for the rest of the day.
