Thank you so much for making today a reality! We've been in Early Access for some time and have been listening to and implementing a ton of the community feedback. You can now pick up the game for 27% off in celebration of the 27 amazing, crazy, intense months we've had developing the game. This is only the beginning!

For the first week you can also pick up the Greenlight helmet as a thank you for greenlighting way back when as well as the limited time Hallowed Armor set. Redeem them through Steam Inventory here: http://handymanstudios.com/steamapi/

Thank you!

Hey ArkCoNauts! Can’t believe we’re really saying it, but here it is! 1.0!! Before you settle in for a 5 page read on the notes for this patch, we want to extend a heartfelt thank you from the team. This journey has been challenging, and at many times exhausting, and we wouldn’t be here today if not for the community and all the years of bug reports, play testing, and support from all of you. Today represents a huge milestone for the game, and for us as a studio, as we step out of Early Access and into the realm of post-release development. We can’t make it clear enough, we plan to stand by Edge of Space, and continue to actively develop new content and features for the game, as well as continue our track record of nuking bugs and issues from orbit. As long as the game sees support from our players, we’ll be here working as hard as ever to keep delivering. We hope to see players who haven’t picked up the game in a long while, return to give it another go, and that those who have been playing actively will still be surprised by what we’ve done since the last public patch at the end of June. We’d also like to give a special thank you to the testers who opted in to the pre-launch testing, and who have been incredibly helpful in getting the game ready for today! Given the sheer size of this patch, we fully expect that things will break, so please be sure to file in game tickets, or join us on Discord live chat for real time tech support help (or just to hang out!). You can find our Discord server here:

Without further ado, we bring to you Edge of Space, 1.0!

Hey ArkCoNauts!

5 Days remaining till the big day, and we are working like crazy to get ready. As the launch week events start to line up, we don't want to drive you guys nuts with a ton of Steam alerts going off, so I've scheduled them all out on the Community Calendar instead. Any changes to the schedule will be reflected there as they happen. You can keep an eye on the calendar here:

http://edgeofspace.invisionzone.com/index.php?/calendar/1-community-calendar/09-2015

I know the question on everyone's mind: How's it all coming together? Our answer is we're very happy with where the game is now! Nearly 5 pages of patch notes are already written up for 1.0 on Thursday, and we can't wait to see everyone exploring all the new changes, content, and features. We want to give a special shoutout and a heartfelt thanks to more than 50 people who opted in to help test the game and get us ready to rock on launch day. I'm very proud of this community, and can't wait to welcome all of our new players as we exit Early Access. Stay awesome!
