Hello captains! A fun patch for you guys today. Expedition Refactor One piece of feedback that has consistently been brought to my attention is that expeditions lose their value quite quickly as you progress your fleet of ships. This patch refactors expeditions to make them usefu
Thanks for the great feedback on cinema mode, I'm glad you guys loved it :)! Smaller-ish patch for you guys today, focusing on some bugs and QoL changes. All upgrades now calculate requirements from your effective amount of ships (meaning superships values are now correctly calcu
New patch for you space captains! Main attraction here is a new idle/cinema mode. If you let the game idle for 2 min the game will fade out its HUD, zoom and pan, and follow random ships around. It is perfect if you want to use it as a screensaver or background visual during the
Thank you for the great response to Endless Mode! I'm so glad you guys are enjoying it, I'll keep building on it if you guys keep playing, so it's cool to see everyone's opinion. Some quick fixes for Endless Mode and other various things for clairty: Removed dead space in the Fle
We’ve got a banger today, folks! I’ve updated the game with the first iteration of Endless Mode. The number one piece of feedback was that you wanted to keep playing after the game was "done". I hope this mode is a good first step in addressing that request. It's relatively small
I just wanted to quickly share a post to express my gratitude to everyone who has decided to play Desk Space. I really didn't expect this much attention for my little game, where I was just experimenting with some different ideas after the release of my previous game. I joined Ne
I couldn't stop myself, so here's another relatively big patch before the weekend! Main fix here is that I believe Steam Cloud save should be fully fixed (hopefully). It was working for most but for a sub-set of users it didn't sync correctly. UI Collapsible "done" section in the
Thank you for all the engagement and feedback, I'm reading it all even though I can't respond to everyone right away. I've collected a bunch of fixes in this patch that addresses several of the big complaints. Please give the game another chance if you previously stopped, hopeful
Slightly bigger patch - Bounties: Metal rewards adjusted down to their correct values. They were too big and broke the entire pace of the game. You can now abort two bounties before a cooldown. - Background throttling: Players reported that the game didn't run correctly when cove
Another quick one - Small bug fix that in certain situations could prevent the final prestige loop
Thank you for all the feedback after launch! What a great start. The most urgent fixes: Money/Ore/Metal counter now correctly update after closing/opening the menu Achievements should trigger correctly now. Please let me know if you still has issues with these, hard to check all
Desk Space was supposed to be a small side game before I found a main project but the Next Fest love blew me away. I’ve spent the last two weeks fixing bugs, adding endgame content, rebalancing upgrades and polishing the game. Buy ships to trade and mine ore Unlock and buy upgrad
Can not believe we are so close to release! The game officially releases tomorrow, and I’m aiming to press the launch button around 12:00 CET . Pricing details: Base Price: $5.99 USD (with Steam's regional pricing to keep it affordable worldwide). Launch Discount: 15% off for the
During the demo, some people were rightfully curious about the progression of Desk Space. There’s no secret that all of these games have some sort of prestige mechanic, and so does Desk Space. I didn’t want to show too much since I want it to be a nice surprise for the players, n
Last nights performance patch introduced a regression. Accidentally included an endgame resource from the full game as a requirement for ships. This has now been rolled back. If you were quick enough I guess you got a hint for the full game. I've added some more variation to the
As noted before, the bottleneck for performance was the flightpaths of the ships. When the player zoomed in the engine tried to draw a set amount of dashes squeezed together sending the math haywire. I've now adapted the dash amounts to your zoom level and in my own tests this ru
Hello! Got another patch for you guys. I'm continuously working on performance and by now the biggest bottleneck is actually the flight paths. In the last patch, I offloaded the drawing from the CPU to the GPU. That helped, but the game can still slow down if you zoom in close an
Quick hotfix Fleet command module is now scrollable when it's larger than the window. Should help players with large screens that put text size on max. Text scale now enlarges the pilot pop-up text Added French and German translations
Wow guys, what a wonderful response to Desk Space! We passed 1,500 wishlists which is awesome, THANK YOU so much everyone! I've gotten some feedback that performance can chug as you buy more ships and your network grows. This is something I will continually work to improve, but h
Hey everyone! I soft-launched the demo for Desk Space two weeks ago to gather initial feedback, and the response has been largely positive ! However, the main piece of feedback was that it was too short, so I've updated the demo to be almost double the length. The demo now takes
