tl;dr No Early Access in September! 1.0 release in Q1/Q2 next year instead! Playtests will be happening before that!
Hi all!
After much consideration, I've decided to not do an Early Access release. The game is so close to a complete experience that skipping Early Access and going straight to 1.0 release makes more sense!
Instead I want to delay the game by a few months to get to that proper 1.0 state. For example this allows me to add:
The 7th Sector/Biome - I'm currently working on this to add even more variety to the game.
A Hangar feature - Just like the first game where you can save ships from previous runs.
Creative Mode - The goal is to include this at launch, or post-launch.
More Content - There are currently 6 ship types, 25 weapons and 100 Gadgets in the game, and this will allow me to add even more!
Development is progressing very well and there's no change in the plans for the game! The only difference is that there won't be an Early Access release.
I will be doing playtest sessions soon so if you're still interested in trying the game early, there will be opportunities to do that. Please sign up to the playtest on the store page and leave feedback if you get selected!
I'm sorry for the delay, it'll be worth it I promise!
Thanks for following and supporting!

Development Update - Winter 2025

Hello everyone, Jonas here! Time for a Space Scavenger 2 development update!
What's been done?
I've been working on Space Scavenger 2 for 3 years now and it's really coming together!
I could go into detail about the development of all the systems - let me know if that's something you'd be interested in! But to keep it short, most core systems are done or very close to done, along with 4 sectors and 3 bosses. Which means the game is playable from start to finish, including an early version of the final boss.
It feels good to play and you can get some pretty fun builds going! There's also meta progression, where more of the game gets unlocked as you play more, including higher difficulty levels.
Split-screen co-op has been planned since the start and recently received some love and attention to make it more solid. The Demo will be updated soon with some new stuff, including co-op!
What's left to do?
My goal for the coming months is to tie everything together in a way where I could release the game into Early Access if I really wanted to. That means:

Refining the Upgrade system
Adding more Modules and Gadgets
Expanding the meta progression with ship skins and starting capsules.
Implementing Saving and Loading
Adding a mode with online leaderboards.
Right now, the game always follows the same 3-4 sector path, later in the year I want to add at least 2 more sectors so that you can choose a new path in each run, playing new sectors, with different enemies, planets and gameplay mechanics.
Final thoughts
I hope you found this update interesting! If you want to get involved you can join the Space Scavenger Discord to play early test builds and give feedback.
If you don't want to go that far, you can always leave comments and questions here on Steam and try the Demo!
If there's anything you're curious about, let me know and I'll try to answer, or if it's a big topic I might do another update post about it!
