The Space Birthday Update is out! Daily Challenge, Character Traits, 4 unique enemies, 20 features!

Heat Signature is one Space Year old today! To celebrate, we've released a big free update we've been working on for five months, with over 20 features - including our own twist on a Daily Challenge. Click through for details on each:

• Character Traits

• 7 New Hazards

• Glory Missions & Clients

• Upgraded AI & Reworked Alarms

• Player Story Trading Cards

• Contractors: 4 Unique Enemy Types

• The Daily Challenge

• 10 Quality of Life Features

The game is also 40% off this week, for the first time! The Daily Challenge and the new Glory leaderboards are best if you have some friends who play, so it's a good time to unfairly pressure everyone you know to buy it - or passive aggressively gift it to them. https://store.steampowered.com/app/268130/Heat_Signature/

Note

This update is a one-off, we don't plan to do updates like this on a regular basis. You should only buy the game if you want it in its current state - we don't make promises about future content.

Dedicated to John Francis

We started this update in April this year, and my dad passed away in May. He was an electrical engineer, a software engineer and an inventor. He got me into computers at an early age, inspired me to be ambitious with his infinite faith in me, and protected me from the fear of failure by making me feel I could never disappoint him. I hope everyone reading this knows they deserve that kind of boost in life, whether you've been lucky enough to receive it or not. Dad was extremely excited when my games took off, making his own graphs and projections from the sales figures I sent him. All of you who bought Heat Signature or Gunpoint made him so happy and proud. I hope this update can say thank you for that.
