It's time. Destination Ares is re-releasing imminently and will be available for purchase soon. The game is also being permanently reduced in price! $19.99 / £19.99 / €19.99 -> $9.99 / £7.99 / €8.99 I will also be doing fewer sales these days, so I hope the reduced price makes up for that. Note that it might take a bit of time for the reduced price to propagate, but it should be there soon! If you already own the game, you can get access to v1.1.0 now. The New Destination Ares This update, v1.1.0, is significant in some fundamental parts of the code. It will break any in-progress runs. Difficu

In 2020, I removed Destination Ares from all stores, including Steam. A few months ago, I quit my job as a tech lead at a game company to start a new studio. While I'm waiting on admin stuff to go through, I've been touching up Destination Ares. And so, I'm happy to announce: Destination Ares will be re-releasing this Spring. This game had burnt me out. I haven't updated it since 2017, shortly after launch. It's both incredibly flawed, and incredibly niche. It never has and never will make me enough money to be worth spending any time on. However, one of the game's fans reached out privately a

Dear players, Destination Ares is temporarily disabled for new purchases, effective immediately. The ongoing situation in the US has become critical, and while self-care and relief from that pain is important, it is the opinion of this American developer & publisher that this game can exacerbate a person's stress, considering current events. It's not the time for a stressful story about fleeing oppressive regimes and questioning the nature of humanity. Instead, putting resources and time into changing our broken systems, caring for ourselves and others in what's to come, and enabling others to

This week, I'll be taking Destination Ares to Boston for PAX East! I scored a sweet opportunity with the Indie MEGABOOTH folks and will have a little station Thursday and Friday (April 5th and 6th), section 17070. If you're going to be at PAX, come on by and meet me! I'll have stickers to give out, and you can show off your ridiculous and sadistic ship design skills. :kitchen: Hope I get to meet some of you. -Pat https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/26835721/66beda8a0bbbf4503fc5e0a73ec5873157f1511a.png

You may have noticed that Destination Ares has had suppressed sales prices on Steam. This was an intentional experiment. ːredscientistː From launch onwards, every sale was 10% off, plus 1% per sale before it. So, the second sale was 11% and the sixth was 15%. My goal was to build a sense of consistency and transparency with my sales pricing structure. Of course, there were two issues with this method. First, I didn't tell anyone that I was doing this. ːevafacepalmː Whoops, there goes the transparency part. Second, 1% per sale is too slow for a game of this scale, if we consider how many Steam

This update is mostly Quality of Life, bringing in a bunch of fixes and improvements to clean up the experience. ːredscientistː Notably, crew will do off-task work more often. This should make the game demonstrably easier for less attentive AIs. (You still won't win. Git gud) Patch: Improvements Shortened how long it takes before the minigame tutorial turns on Slowed minigame tutorial down Clarified wording in minigame tutorial Improved clickability of minigame's "Return to Ship" button Destroyed systems are now more recognizable in their tooltips Increased how often crew will do off-task work
