End Space 1.0.5 Released

We are extremely excited to announce the release of End Space 1.0.5. The new update brings numerous game updates, game balance changes, and over 250 bug fixes.

Localization

End Space now supports other languages besides English. End Space has been localized for: German, French, Russian, Italian, Spanish, Japanese, Korean, and Chinese (With full voice over support).

Flatscreen support

The 1.0.5 update offers Flatscreen support for our pilots without a VR headset to experience End Space. It’s been the number 1 requested feature from the Steam community. The development of Flatscreen support has also added keyboard and mouse support to our supported control schemes.

TrackIR Support

We have also added support for TrackIR. To enable it first start the TrackIR software as normal, and then in the Settings Menu under graphics, there is an option to enable TrackIR. Support is only when inside the cockpit, not in menus to avoid conflict with the UI.
