First of all, thank you for your interest and support in SpaceBourne during early access.

This release will be our final major "new features" update. So far we've added a lot of content to the game that early access players requested, adding anymore would make the game overly complicated.

Therefore, next updates will be focusing on development and enhancement of the current content.

We are preparing a major update, adding features suggested by the Early Access players.

While SpaceBourne Ver 1.1.6 is in progress, we wanted to give you a preview of the upcoming features.

We hope you like it.

First of I want to wish a happy new year to everyone!

Based on the feedback from the Early Access players of SpaceBourne we decided to make make big changes to the content of the game; thus we need to postpone the full release a bit further.

We will keep working on the updates till our EA players tell us that the game is “ready”. But we plan to launch the full release during the first quarter of 2019.

The big update we are working on right now includes:

• Dynamic economy /trade system
• Dynamic diplomacy system
• Sandbox mode that let’s player to experience the game with different characters
• A new content with ability to buy some deserted stations and upgrade them
• New weapons and ships

We plan to release this update in couple of weeks. We will have a very tight working schedule to make it in time so we may not be as active as we used to be on social media.

Thank you all for your understanding and patience.

We will share a video of the upcoming features very soon.

Have a wonderful year!
