Greetings Commanders,It's been several months since my last news update. Coming up on the seven year anniversary of Starcom: Nexus entering Early Access, the end of the year, and a current big sale on Starcom: Unknown Space, this seems like a good time to give an update on what I've been up to and what my current plans are.As you may recall, Unknown Space had its 1.0 release in September 2024 after about 20 months in Early Access. Then I spent the next nine months working on bug fixes, some content updates, localization, Steam Deck verification, etc.This past summer, after a much needed break,

Patch for Unity Security Issue CVE-2025-59489. Also includes update to Turkish localization content.
2025-09-12 15:45 UTC · Community Announcements · justkevin
Earlier this week I updated the default build with a small patch.The main thing I've been working on since the last update has been investigating Unity's ECS system. That has been a huge learning experience with positive and negatives that will eventually warrant several blog posts. But in the process I needed to recreate a version of Starcom's spatial management system. So I used the opportunity to record a brief video log giving an overview of how it works for interested players and/or developers:Until next time!-- Kevin

Since Starcom: Unknown Space entered Early Access in 2022, I've posted weekly updates on the game's development, with only a few scheduled interruptions. While I am still doing work on the game and releasing patches as necessary, I've started turning my eye toward what's next.I've tentatively begun research on a possible follow-up game, imaginatively code named "Starcom 4" (Why not Starcom 3? Because my first Starcom game was a Flash game just called Starcom. The project that eventually became Starcom: Nexus was called Starcom 2, and so the project that eventually became Starcom: Unknown Space

Two weeks ago I put up a player survey to gauge interest in a possible future Starcom game. So far, I've received over 600 responses. Most of the players who left comments expressed enthusiastic interest in either another game or DLC. The general vibe I got was similar to the responses after Nexus: more of the same, don't change too much.One of the specific questions I asked was about the mission/quest guidance system which a challenge during Starcom: Unknown Space, particularly during Early Access. One of the most complaints was from players who found themselves stuck with no obvious way to p

The default branch has been updated to Kepler 21548. This updates/addresses the following:Fixes an issue where anomaly roll modifiers would not be reset between encounters, potentially leading to scenarios with very large bonuses or penalties until the game was reloaded.Fixed an issue where it was possible to load a design in the shipyard in planning mode without the tech prerequisitesAdded changes to Steam workshop integration to support future player-created content beyond ship designsAdded photoseizure warning to load screenFixed rare null reference exceptionMinor typosIf you encounter any

Last week I made a long post about ideas for a potential sequel, as well as a survey to gauge player interest in different possible changes. If you haven't already, please take a moment to fill it out and let me know your thoughts.On Tuesday, I posted a small patch to the opt-in Beta branch that fixes an issue a player reported allowing players to leave the shipyard after loading a ship with tech prerequisites they didn't have.The Beta branch also has a few other updates:Fixed for an issue where anomaly skill modifiers sometimes wouldn't clear, causing them to add up over a sessionAdded necess

First, as previously mentioned, the game is now officially Steam Deck Verified! Through the help of players, I've been gradually improving controller and Deck support since 1.0 launch. The last mile from "Deck Playable" to "Deck Verified" took some time, mostly because the game has a number of screens with a fair amount of text. The Deck has a resolution of 1280 x 800 and Steam has a minimum font size requirement. Getting all text instances to always display at a minimum size involved going through many UIs and manually tweaking some values and positions.Starcom CreatorAlso, I've made the Crea

Quick update this week: I'm currently working on a longer news/update post and player survey, but they're not quite ready yet.Last week I talked about making the Creator Tool available to all players, but was blocked due to an issue in the Steamworks backend that prevented it from being visible. With Valve's help, that's been resolved and now any interested player should be able to see it within Steam. Note that it appears in "Tools" not "Games".On a related topic, there's an Opt-in Beta available that fixes a skill check issue and adds the necessary changes for supporting Workshop published C

There's a new Opt-in Beta available. This is a minor update:First, it hopefully addresses a long standing bug that caused skill check modifiers after certain anomalies not to be reset, leading to weird modifiers, like +1530%.Two, it implements necessary changes for future Workshop story content. That is, once the Creator Tool is ready, Creators will be able to share their content with other players via the Workshop. As mentioned last week, I'm also preparing to make the Creator Tool publicly available for all players, so anyone who is interested in trying it out is able to, without me having t

Two weeks ago I talked about posting a player survey in the next couple weeks. I still plan on doing that, but decided to prioritize a few other tasks. One of those, as I posted about last week, was getting the game Steam Deck Verified.The other is working on a patch for the game. As I've mentioned in the past, I've made the "Creator Tool" (the tool I build to author the game's anomalies, missions and stories) available for beta testing. I don't know how much interest there is in this tool, but at least some users have been experimenting with it. But there's currently no way for them to share

Since the game's official 1.0 launch in September of last year, I've been making continuous updates to the game with new content, bug fixes and QoL improvements. Among these have been enhancements to controller and Steam Deck™ support.The game has been officially marked "playable" for a while, but the last mile to go from "playable" to "verified" was a bit of challenge.There are a few screens in the game that are fairly information dense, particularly the shipyard. The Deck has a resolution of 1280 x 800 and Valve requires that the smallest text be a minimum of 9 pixels high to be Deck verifie

In the my last news update I announced my wife and I were taking a trip to Scandinavia at the end of May. Now we're back.Nordic GameIn the first half of the trip we were in Malmö, Sweden for the Nordic Games conference. This was the first time I've gone to a game developer conference and didn't have a concrete agenda: my main reasons for selecting this one specifically were: a) it happened to fall at a time where I felt like I could take a break, b) Copenhagen (a 20 minute train ride from Malmö) is a direct flight from Boston, and c) I've never been to Scandinavia.I had a lot of fun, talked to
