Steady, as she goes Starchasers! You know the drill by [strike]meow[/strike] now.

Thanks for the hard work on the video, starchaser -- the rest of you, enjoy! Or else. [previewyoutube=msxffVL2jpg;full][/previewyoutube] Now, for the biggest news pretty much ever: [h1]UNDERSPACE RELEASES IN EARLY ACCESS ON APRIL 10, 2024![/h1] That's right, you'll all be able to play Underspace in just a few short months! Are you excited? You should be! Because I'm really tired -- but happy -- that this is finally getting off the ground and into your hands.

Well, we've announced this already, but for the record: [b][h2]Underspace will be participating in Steam Next Fest![/h2][/b] Once again, we'll have a playable Steam demo up and running AND I'll be personally playing during the developer stream (naturally). I know there will be a lot of games to try, so it'd mean a lot to me if you'd test out Underspace and see for yourself what's coming out in just a few short months. See you on February 5, 2024 at 10 AM PT!
