TLDR: Our game name is now Jump Space, due to trademark complications.
We also have over 1 million Steam Wishlists! Release date announcement is happening on August 20th, during the FGS Gamescom stream.
Hello again, Jumpers!
We hope you have enjoyed your summer~
Today we have very important things to talk about, so let's dive right in:
🚨The game rebrands to Jump Space🚨
Long story short - Jump Space is the final name following trademark complications.
We think Jump Space is super cool, after all, there is more to the game than just the Ship!
Please help us spread the word so that everyone hears about the name change!
This also gives us a great excuse to show off the new keyart we had planned for Early Access launch!
Pretty Michael Bay-esq, huh?
This name change will not impact our release plans for Jump Space.
In fact, Release Date Announcement will drop during Gamescom later in August! ːsteamhappyː
Now for MORE positive and INCREDIBLE news!
1 Million Wishlists.
That's quite the number.
One that most developers don't think is reachable before it's time to release.
"Happy to see that my repeated gnome disassembler sacrifices payed off. Thanks for your service, Nisse ❤️"

The magic and excitement of having players so eager to play your game never goes away.
Especially not for a passion project like Jump Space.
We managed to get enough traction to build a great team around the game, and we can only be extremely grateful for the opportunities we've been given.
This game is our very own baby, and seeing it reach these numbers is... Yeah, it's crazytown.
We've sure come a long way since the first 5 of us first moved into this space.
Thank you.
(You will continue to hear this in every post for the next 6 months - Just get used to it.)
Now - we've seen the wishlist numbers climb through the years, so this didn't fully come out of nowhere.
We see what people want from the game, and we have really cool plans for what to add beyond Early Access launch.
If you stick around for this journey with us, you shan't be disappointed.
In honor of this milestone, we wanted to share a few more images from the past.
Can you believe Jump Space looked like this by the end of 2021?
Asserting dominance over the power grid, barely any textures, ship cannons firing JPGs.
This is just how it goes!
You keep cooking and then you end up with how the game looks now ːsummercrab2023ː
We are in the final stretch before Jump Space Early Access now, y'all.
(Is the new name setting in yet?)
Gamescom can't come soon enough!
Danke und auf Wiedersehen.
