Hey there everybody,

it's been a while, how is everyone doing? We have two announcements for you today. One is concerning the game's name and the other is about our big upcoming update.

We've been discussing the game's name for some time now, and although we still like it we've noticed that it doesn't really tell you what sort of game to expect. Lots of players have mentioned that they were expecting something like a simple shooter, and were completely surprised by the massive Space Adventure they found. Because of this, we've decided to add a(nother) subtitle to the current name, which will give new players a little taste of what to expect going in. We went back and forth with lots of ideas, until we found one that we're now very happy with.

And that subtitle is… "A Space Odyssey". Some people might recognize this from somewhere, but it's a name that nicely describes the sort of adventure you're getting yourself into, don't you think? :)

The second announcement is that we're about to release the game's next update, and boy oh boy it's going to be a big one! Lots of players have asked for it, we've talked about it for some time on the forums, and now it's finally here: The Modding Update! With this update, all the game's files will be open to exchange, edit and add to. Instead of the current compiled format, the game is going to load all the data files directly in plain format, so instead of OVL you'll have TXT, PNG and LUA files to play with. After this update, you're going to be able to mod ships, weapons, characters and dialogue, just to name a few.

The update is coming next week, so get your digital pens and text editors prepped and ready. We're super excited about this update and are really looking forward to all the awesome stuff you guys are going to create!

There will be lots of other cool stuff, as well as the usual bug fixes and improvements. As always we'll have a nice juicy changelist for you.

Oh, and we also updated the game's description on the Steam page!
Catch you next week for the modding bonanza!
