Thoughts

Whew. We got there. Thanks for your patience. Considering Scale Space has been in development for 6 months and this release took a month- 1/6th of the dev time went towards this release! I put in a lot of elbow grease to polish the experience so it has an improved game feel and user experience. It was not trivial- but it was worth it. The release is something I'm really proud of and I hope you'll get a lot of enjoyment out of it.

There are still quite a number of big things on the near horizon that I can't reveal just yet, but they change the nature of the game at an almost fundamental level. I am dying to put the game up on steam, but it seems like I may need to finish these new features in development as they have a big role to play in the game loop (and that should be reflected in the steam trailer). So I guess a little more delay on the steam page as I plough through these new game loop features. Please look forward to it!

If you have any thoughts on the release, feedback to share, anything else, feel free to DM me or message here in the comments. I'll be sharing more gameplay videos over the next few days so stay tuned!

The game is only $4.20 as an early access price and you will get a guaranteed steam key when we go to steam. Your support of this project is critical and I am grateful to everyone who has so far.

As usual, the prior version (1.9.1) will be set as a free demo for anyone curious about the project and anyone who buys it gets the freshest version with all the new features and QOL improvements. See you in 1.9.3!
