Hi everybody! As you know, we’ve been aiming at releasing Astrobase Command on the 6th of May. We have through the pre-launch period received key feedback that told us that the learning curve of the user interface was still too steep. Which is something we have been trying our be
Great News Everybody! We are finally setting a release date for Astrobase Command!! As you know, we’ve been hard at work wrapping up the game. We’ve been very focused on getting it to a good state before we set a release date. We are now at that point. To cut to the chase. We are
Even Astrobases have some sweet vacation spots.
What does this mean for the current players?
If you already have access to Astrobase Command you’ll be able to keep playing the beta all the way up until release. At which point you will gain access to the release version of Astrobase Command.
We will soon put out the last big beta update which has many changes, fixes, and additions to the game. We will of course put out smaller updates and hotfixes as needed.
Can I share screenshots or video from the game yet?
This is the most common question we get, and we’re very grateful for everyone’s patience and for helping us save up marketing hype to release!
To answer the question, kind of.
If you have the game and want to show your friends, yes! Just have them join our discord and share the things in there. Of course, that content should stay on our discord server and not be published elsewhere.
If you want to stream the game or make a video and put it up to a video sharing website, not just yet, we’ll have an embargo at the release date for that type of content sharing.
A garden with a view.
Can I still get the beta?
We are considering pausing sales of Astobase Command until release.
If you want to play it before release, get it now!
If you want to wait until release then please wishlist the game!
That’s all for now!
We’ll bring you more information as we head toward release.

Hi Everybody! We’re happy to bring you a Summer Beta Update! Update it as usual from Itch.io to get the latest version. As you see from the change list there are quite a few new things in this patch. The two biggest of which are the top bar and the fast forward. These let you eas
We have now released the second (non-hotfix) beta update. Also, this week we put out an upgrade path for Kickstarter backers who want to get to play the beta. If that’s you, check the updates on Kickstarter! Anyway, here’s the patch notes for Astrobase Command 0.4.3 Closed Beta:

Anyway, here’s the patch notes for Astrobase Command 0.4.3 Closed Beta:
Good News Everyone! Astrobase Command is now feature complete. Or, in other words, it’s Beta time! This means we are looking at bugfix and polish as we move forward. We want to take this opportunity to thank you for playing the game in it’s alpha state and continuing to play it a
Good news, everyone! We have finally reached the Astrobase Command Beta phase! It took a bit longer than we all wanted it to but we think it has been worth it. We think the game is in very good shape for an initial beta launch. If you play it and think we have succeeded and this
To get this feedback to us you can find a button in the Main Menu and in the Pause Menu that says [SURVEY], as well as a button in each location that says Discord. Click these buttons to fill out our Beta Survey and to join our Discord Community respectively.
We want to take this opportunity to give an especially big thank you to our lovely Kickstarter Beta backers who have waited for so long since so patiently:
Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts! We couldn’t have made it without your support.
Additionally our Alpha as well as our Beta are Closed, which is also a term that can mean different things.
So here is our definition of Closed and what it means for the Beta:
You are able to buy Beta Access if you didn’t catch the Kickstarter and play the game right now.
You can not share footage, images, etc of Astrobase Command outside of the designated Beta channel on our Discord.
However, if you are a creator and want to create content as we open up the gates, please get in touch with us at [email protected]
So with the Astrobase Command Beta phase you can buy (or access if you already backed us at a beta or higher tier) the game and play it right now. But you can’t make videos or other content off of it until we open things up.

Hi Everybody!
This week I jumped straight into making another pass over the game to figure out if there are some things that need to make sounds that aren’t currently on our list of things that should make sounds. I found a whole bunch of things during this process, this should hearing what’s up in Astrobase Command a whole lot easier!

Hey guys, this week I’ve been working on a procedural main storyline hooking in from the intro. So at first glance it will be an intro upgrade, and then the stories will go somewhere.

Hi guys,
This week I’ve been looking into upgrading the engine to gain access to new features and adding analytics to the game to help identify bottlenecks in play.

Hello all,
I’ve been working on some test ads and other marketing stuff. Oh, and dealing with barfing kids. Lots and lots of barf. Soooooo much barf.

Hi Everybody!
This last week I’ve been working on the COMLINK Datapad App.
If it’s worth it to we might be able to use it to integrate interactive community features into the game with it as a base. However, that’s a lot of work as things are right now so no promises.
For now though, you can use it to find your way to our Discord Community!

Hello, everyone!
I spent the last week continuing my marketing research and developing a concept video ad. I’ve got a few more concepts to put together in the coming days. Down the way, we may call on our Alpha backers to run some A-B testing on the adds to find the most effective message and format.

Hi All!
After wrapping up work on terminal screens and getting them into the game with Daniel’s help, I’ve turned my attention to [REDACTED] in order to [REDACTED] so that we can [CLASSIFIED ASTRAL BLUE] . Did I mention that the terminals look nice now? Lookit the pretty lights!
In all seriousness, I’ve been researching how we can begin cranking up our presence on the interwebs and beyond, as it has been a long time since we’ve been noisy.
Dave – @Dave_Astrobase
Hey guys!
So much progress has been made. Mainly I’ve been focused on the early game, in a play->find things I hate->fix loop. There is also new functionality to the Crew App so you can see emotives and relationships so you can better see what’s going on and the game should be a lot more playable in general.

Hi Guys.
This week I have continued working on social areas for your crew. Also I have made a change to construction which should make it feel more sensible.

Hi everyone,
I’ve almost wrapped up work on designing the terminal art. Next step will be implementing the screens so you can see them across the station.

Hi everyone!
After wrapping up the 300+ emblem creator components, I’ve turned my attention to creating some terminal screens to replace the old asteroid shooter that is displayed on every screen in the station. These will provide a variety of colour and pattern variations to help diversify the station’s visual landscape.

Hi guys,
Recently I’ve been working on the new batteries and bug fixing. Currently I’m working towards making social areas for the crew.

A selection of emblems made with the Astrobase emblem creator Hey Everybody, We’ve had our noses to the grindstone working on a number of features, improvements to visualizing character behavior, and getting backer rewards up and working. It’s time for us to pop up for a breather
A selection of emblems made with the Astrobase emblem creator
The emblems will be visible in many places around your station
Using many of more than 300 different components, you’ll be able to scale, rotate, translate, colorize each to assemble a a glorious emblem with which to adorn your station.
You’ll have access to simple geometry, alphanumeric symbols, and more complex shapes to mix and match. As you can see from the examples we’ve included, your imagination is pretty much the limit. Each of these will be available for you to use in your stations. You’ll also be able to use these as templates to modify and personalize to your liking.
Novacakes: they're out of this world!

Good news! We are putting out a new Alpha build today!
This build will include things we’ve been working on for the last while.
For more information about what this includes, check out our last two blog posts [url]http://www.astrobasecommand.com/news/[/url]
Or check out this video that actually shows what the new features and upgrades look like.
Astrobase Command on Youtube
As you might suspect, there is a lot more depth to the features (especially AstroFleet) than is being shown in the video.
We had to cut things down for brevity and plan on making future content where we go in more depth
We’re still in Closed Alpha. So no capturing of content from Astrobase Command just yet!
If you want to play but you don’t have the game you can buy it on our website or on itch.io.
On the other hand, if you’re a Kickstarter backer that backed at beta or lower tier you can upgrade to Alpha at any time. We mailed information about how to do this in the past, if you can’t find that information right now don’t hesitate to get in touch with us.
