Happy Holidays, Starchasers! Crazy that it's already the end of 2023 -- even crazier that Underspace will come to Steam Early Access next year! It's been such a long time coming and I can't wait until you all get your hands on my blood, sweat, and tears in game form. Pretend that sounded less weird... here's a cat open as a distraction.

While they definitely enjoyed their time and had some great feedback, I wanted to say quickly that a lot of said feedback has already been addressed. For example, the "emptiness of space" is not so empty now, with plenty of props and items being added into space stations and the like, for example. But either way, great video and I'm grateful for it :) [previewyoutube=A8W1oJhHMlY;full][/previewyoutube] As always, I'd like to state that, if you have any interest whatsoever in trying out Underspace, check out [url=https://pastaspace.itch.io/underspace]download our latest demo[/url] and give it a spin.
