unlabelledView post →It's funny watching people expect translations into other languages for Underspace when like The game has four million words in terms of readable text. The money it'd take to translate that into even one other language would be around fifteen times the game's current budget.
unlabelledView post →Multiplayer has officially reached a feature complete state! NPCs and the rest of the world are now synchronized, and with this last bit we are 100% feature complete for the game! Still needs testing but my task list, which is almost a decade old, is now empty! #gamedev #indiegame #underspace
unlabelledView post →One more planet detailed. And with that, every space station and planet in the game is now able to be explored in full. #underspace #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiegame #gamedevelopment
unlabelledView post →store.steampowered.com/news/app/111... I've pushed a HUGE new patch for Underspace, which adds tons of multiplayer improvements but, also, has granted full mod support for just about everything in game. Want to mod in a catgirl? Go ahead, mod in that catgirl. #gamedev #indiegame #indie #spacegame
unlabelledView post →Added a 1% chance for the saving icon to be replaced with a picture of my cat when saving the game. This is the most important thing I could be doing with game development right now. #underspace #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiegame #gamedevelopment
unlabelledView post →I labor under the sad belief that, given options, players will use those options. To that end I've improved the mod tagging system, allowed for better import/export of controller layouts, editing radio stations in-game, and deleting MP characters. #underspace #indiedev #gamedev #indiegame
unlabelledView post →It’s important in a game with a constructed world to feel like the people in that world not only exist, but that they also suck. To that end I’ve added over 150 new advertisements for billboards into the game. #underspace #gamedev #gamedevelopment #indiegame #indiegamedev #indiegame
unlabelledView post →Way back when I first started Underspace my vision was always consistent: A game where you fly out into space with your buddies and get into supernatural cosmic adventures. Now that's finally a reality: We fought a storm then got trapped in magic space prison and had to escape. I could almost cry.
unlabelledView post →The latest beta branch update of Underspace now includes its full modding SDK, including documentation! I'm also working on Steam workshop support, and I'm pretty sure some dude is already porting Freelancer's ship's into the game now. #underspace #gamedev #indiedev
unlabelledView post →More things coming to Underspace with our next update. deadzone settings (which is off by default because a deadzone in this kind of game is awful), an overhead map view, and new planets to explore! #underspace #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiegame #gamedevelopment
unlabelledView post →Who's ready for some custom content? You can now take custom images and put them in your game as paintings for your house and decals for your ships. No limits, all the responsibility. #underspace #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiegame #gamedevelopment
unlabelledView post →Been redoing graphics for certain places (like giant ruined space cathedrals) and you can now purchase every house in game. #underspace #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiegame #gamedevelopment
unlabelledView post →I think the weirdest criticism I ever got for Underspace was that the game didn't have enough content. Like, no voice acting, not the best graphics, performance issues, limited HOTAS? Fine. But I have no idea what that player considered to be "a lot of content". Maybe they thought Skyrim was small.
unlabelledView post →So what if there was a game like Underspace but made years ago and what if Underspace had mod support that allowed you to read the data of that game and convert much of the stuff in that game over to my game's formats, so that you can turn that game into a mod for my game? Just *cough* asking.
unlabelledView post →He has also made his own game, the Freelancer-like Underspace! No Thomas in that one, although it does have giant space trains. And modding support, so someone could make a Thomas mod for it... store.steampowered.com/app/1111930/...
unlabelledView post →Entirely unrelated games. But Underspace has a demo! The game really is Freelancer in every way that matters. Like, the dev just flatly says as much. Rather than try to mod his ideas into Freelancer, he decided to just remake Freelancer from scratch, giving him total control over the game systems.
unlabelledView post →obviously there are outliers - Marathon is close to having actual Art Direction and look at how people have responded to it! The most "art direction" games currently are non-A/AA/AAA - things like Baionlenja, Xenonauts, Underspace, Funi Raccoon Game, Brigand Oxaca... (deliberately very wide list)
unlabelledView post →@trainwiz.bsky.social I got Underspace Saturday, Yo that game ROCKS! I expected the "Fine I'll make Freelancer myself" vibes but the Sunless Skies/eldritch stuff is so cool! Love all the aliens, fly good, shoot good. Jump holes scary, The Cube is there.
unlabelledView post →In around an hour, join me as I take a look at an indie space game: #Underspace!! Stream Start: 4pm CDT / 10pm GMT | #VTuber #PunBrigade | www.twitch.tv/AdventurerAlm
unlabelledView post →Need a distraction today? Ash from our Stream Team is playing Underspace over on twitch.tv/igda for the next little bit! Come hang out 🫶
unlabelledView post →If you like #Freelancer and classic style space games, you should check out the FREE Demo of Underspace on Steam. The actual game is on sale 25% off atm. Best way to describe it is Freelancer, but then realized empty space is boring and added Eldritch Horrors, Space Dungeons & more RPG elements
unlabelledView post →Early Access to Underspace is now underway, offering the chance to play this in-development space action game. Inspired by classics of the genre, developer Pastaspace Interactive calls this the "spiritual successor to Freelancer." More: www.bluesnews.com/s/270545/
unlabelledView post →Underspace is a VERY promising, fun space game with a heavy emphasis on story. The writing is pretty good, too, even if the voice acting is largely text to speech. The world is fleshed out, the art direction is solid, and the gameplay is great so far. youtu.be/uZTMXAGYQRE
unlabelledView post →Right so Underspace by @trainwiz.bsky.social is pretty damn cool. Not the game I am feeling right now, but I will absolutely keep it in my GoG library and see how it progresses.
unlabelledView post →I love this game. Underspace is apparently a good spiritual successor, wish I could say if it was good or not tho my poor steam deck can't run it XD
unlabelledView post →The game besides Homeworld that made me love spaceships...I also blame it for getting me into Eve Online. Mods for Freelancer are crazy and range from silly to so damn good they should be their own game. Shame you can't buy it anywhere. At least we got Underspace.
unlabelledView post →Hey Adventurers! New Neon’s Game Night is LIVE! I know The Outer Worlds 2 is the hot space RPG right now but don’t overlook Underspace by @trainwiz.bsky.social Sandbox space RPG with Lovecrafian cosmic horrors? Say less! 😎 “You want a cup of Jawa Juice?” youtu.be/Y6Zpnqin35U

unlabelledView post →I'll have to try drawing the broken gate again someday, but for now, this is what I've got. Underspace is a fantastic space game. It leans into the Eldritch side of things and it does so very well. The only way to find the cool stuff to is to be curious, but that also leads to the horrors.
unlabelledView post →Aaah, if it's Freelancer you want, Underspace is basically a Freelancer fan-game with some spectacular giga-scale boss fights and a much weirder universe. One of the races are sentient corpse-fungus that possess everyone else's dead, but are also cool folks. store.steampowered.com/app/1111930/...
unlabelledView post →There's a really fascinating game that entered Early Access recently called Underspace which appears to be Freelancer but with Spooky Cosmic Horror Stuff going on in it. Reviews so far say its rough but has promise, I'm keeping an eye on this game's growth!
unlabelledView post →Tomorrow at 6.30PM CET: A rare and dangerous Friday stream! Unless real life decides to have it's way - We're gonna try out Underspace! A game that mixes ye olde Freelances with giant space Eldritch monstrosities! Hope to see you there!
unlabelledView post →Only a couple hours in, but I'm having lots of fun with Underspace! Can't wait to customize some more ships!
unlabelledView post →Nor is it related to the cube you run from (if you are smart) in Underspace if you end up in a part of space that looks..bad. (Look, it's the only cube in a video game I could think of that wasn't from Portal)
unlabelledView post →Oh no! Only just realised that Christmas Day is on Thursday! Man, Underspace is a *cursed* game for me, apparently. It's my Thursday stream game, and yet, I miss something like 60% of my Thursdays.
unlabelledView post →Don't forget to check out last night's Neon's Game Night video, over the demo for Underspace! If you like SciFi, sandbox RPGs, and/or cosmic horrors, be sure to stop by and give it a look!! The demo has certainly convinced me to pick this game up 😎
unlabelledView post →"we've added over 150 new billboards to the game, to really sell the idea that this isn't just a populated universe, but that it's also one filled with dickheads." is one hell of a sentence to find in any game's patch notes. But those notes from the Underspace update-before-last really delivered.

unlabelledView post →Update: Game was janky 😅 Switching to a different indie game: Underspace
unlabelledView post →Gonna try out a new game currently on early access called Underspace I found out about. Basically a space game with a Lovecraftian, sandbox RPG twist, apparently a spiritual successor to an old space-mercenary game called Freelancer I used to play with A LOT (even wrote guides to it back in the day)
unlabelledView post →There's not been anything that really captures the feel of Freelancer. I love the HD mod! The closest for combat I've found so far is an indie game Underspace. For the living world aspect X4 (pretty complex though.)
unlabelledView post →Streaming #Underspace for the first time! We got a review copy of this cool game and I'm super excited to try it out! I played the demo for #Freelancer back in the day and have always wondered if we'd see a proper spiritual successor. Could this be it!? 👀
