addedSpace Drilling Station will be released in Early Access this spring!After years of working on my own and with the help of my publisher, we’re finally deciding on a release date. Add Space Drilling Station to your wishlist if you haven’t already! Why Early Access? I’ve been working on the game alone for a very long time, and I’d like to start promoting it on a larger scale. Above all, I’d like to be able to continue improving the game with you, the players. Throughout Early Access, I'll continue to stage regular playtests on the Discord server. This would help for developing new features and updates, translating the game into more languages, communicating. In short, lots of things that are difficult for me to do without a budget…

changedSpace Drilling Station will be released in Early Access this spring!Early Access is expected to last about a year. ..I’ve planned several thematic updates to bring the game to the level I’ve always dreamed of. When it launches in Early Access, the game will be essentially the same as the Open Beta (minus the bugs!)

To keep you as informed as possible, we’ve also decided to create a monthly newsletter to keep you updated on the game’s progress. I’d love to answer your questions and give you a behind-the-scenes look at the game’s creation: how I juggle my life as a carpenter, dad, and independent developer… Interacting with the Space Drilling Station community has always been a huge source of motivation for me, and I’d like to keep that connection with you.

Some other news about the game:

The German translation of the game is underway! If you’d like to test the German demo and provide early feedback, join the Space Drilling Station Discord server and contact the Staff!
My publisher is working with Whisper Games to translate the game into Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, Korean, and Japanese! I hope the game finds its audience on the other side of the globe; that would be a great source of pride.
The demo has been updated in French and English; it now ends at Level 2 of the station

Thank you again for your support!
