Approaching Infinity has been in Early Access on Steam for 2 years and it has changed my life!
And with your help, I've taken a game that was "complete" according to the original design, and used it as a framework for an increasingly-deep space exploration adventure.
Here is a partial list of features that have been added:
- Alien race portraits
- Hailing ships
- Planet scans
- Elemental weapons
- Activated skills
- Starting quests
- Sprawling planets
- A new melee weapon
- Custom ships
- A UI-skin DLC
- Med pods
- Shipwreck stories
- Gadgets, stacks, and scrap
- Explosive decompression
- Grenades
- Lower decks
- Monsters with powers
- Floating texts
- Exploding tanks
- Planetary surveys
- Towing shipwrecks
- Invisible space mines
- Retribution strikes
I got tired of scrolling through all the Steam News items, so that's not everything, but as you can see, an abundance of new interactions. And those things are all new. It doesn't even touch on the existing systems that have been remodeled and improved, or the hundreds of quality-of-life upgrades.
If you haven't tried Approaching Infinity, now is a great time, because I'm offering
10% off
for this anniversary milestone.
But if you're waiting until it's out of early access, I'd like to offer you some perspective: I've been at it *constantly* for 2 years, and I estimate another 2 years to bring my vision to life. Players have used Steam and Discord to help shape the game, and the community interaction has VASTLY improved it.
Join us now!
And now really is the time, because I just released a limited-edition beta of the asteroid bases with NPCs, and that is going to CHANGE THE UNIVERSE!

This is *not* a DLC, it's ongoing development of the game. And there's more to come after that. Yep, it's big.
