This Side (Early Access Game) - Rising

New update + Game progress

General:

We are working hard to update This Side as soon as possible. We had several unforeseen events as well as all due to Covid-19, but we did not stop producing despite having delayed our already tight schedule. Anyway, we will not stop updating you and the game. First of all, we would like to thank everyone for their good criticism. This helps us a lot to think about what we can improve in the game. Next, we will inform you about several things that we will quote below, but we would like to emphasize that we are always available to everyone. Whether through social networks or the steam community, so whenever you need to report something, criticize or even praise we are always attentive and willing to listen and respond to everyone! To make it even easier we created a server on discord. Discord Server.
Our goal is to have one more way to facilitate communication and create an environment for all players to use at will and find other players on This Side to play together and share this experience with us whenever they want.

About the next update:

We have an update scheduled for October. Our last update was in last October, and will be once again . We've been working since the last update. There were a lot of tests, things that were added and removed but in the end we want to make everyone aware that the game will be updated soon and the game has already changed a lot from what it was and will change more! Change on the environment and mechanics, and will change more based on everyone's feedback. We are also organizing ourselves to make more small updates while working in time-consuming updates like this. We always count on all good criticism to improve the game! We read everything you comment on very carefully. So don't worry about not being heard.

Update schedule:

We plan to make more frequent updates. We still don't know if it will be every three months or a month, but we need and want to give efficient feedback on what players go through to improve the game and we want you to see this improvement quickly in the updates.

Next steps:

More updates and communication. We have several communication channels, social networks and the steam community and we hope you use what you prefer to let us know what you think.

Future change to remove single player option:

This side was a game designed for the cooperative mode and we see less and less sense in having the single player mode. We would like to have your feedback on this as well if possible.

Ostranauts Patch v0.6.2.1 Available

Ostranauts - Daniel@BlueBottleGames

Hey Folks!

Ostranauts v0.6.2.1 is now available on Steam, and your clients should be updating shortly. This patch address a mix of bugs and quality of life issues.

Specifically:

Fixed a bug that caused player to get stranded after walking at 16x speed.
Fixed a bug that left ghost items in inventory grid when moved from space to space.
Fixed a bug that prevented EVA battery control panel from showing true charge.
Changed inventory screen to return item to origin if unable to be placed in grid.
Fixed a bug that caused NPCs to be naked if game was saved more than once before visiting OKLG.
Added progress bars to more player actions.
Added custom width and height for inventory items. (Modder request.)
Added required part amounts to tooltips.

The first fix alone (16x speed) might actually solve quite a few reported issues, given how it came up frequently, and in different places. And some of the inventory fixes should reduce the number of times the game gets stuck or glitched.

Plus, several of these fixes and additions should reduce the pain points when doing more common tasks in game.

As always, there's plenty more for us to fix, change, and add! And we'll be continuing in roughly that order. In the meantime, let us know if this patch helps you out, as well as if it reveals new problems!

Best,
Daniel Fedor

New Update + About Remastered Edition

Smart Cube - Georgian

New update changes list:

NEW GAME & EXIT buttons has a confirmation question, anti mistakes
Chinese simplified and traditional font display error has been fixed
UE4 logo added, because after years, I finally got the usage permission
I added on credits page, the Steam users that translated Smart Cube
I changed the name of the person who worked for Smart Cube soundtrack
Soundtrack DLC has been updated with the name of who worked for the soundtrack

News about remastered edition:
I have bad news. I tried to work for the Remastered Edition, but I didn't manage to compress the disk space required for the quality intended of new game and other things didn't worked as I excepted. So, I canceled this operation and I will move next to make a new game that will not require a Remastered Edition. I mean, I will do my best for my next game to be a Remastered Edition from the first launch.

Smart Cube will be removed:
Smart Cube will be removed from Steam, because I decided to understand that is not a good game and I will request to Valve to remove it. All existing costumers / who bought it, I will be able to play it, so, Smart Cube will remain in Steam Library. Until Valve will reply to my support message, if you didn't bought this game and you want to buy it for keeping it, buy it now, because, soon, you will not be able to do that.

Thank you again for who bought my game and supported me!

I delete this game because is the only one game that wasn't well welcomed, since Steam didn't accepted it on Steam. Even, I will make it free, this game remain a unwelcomed game on Steam. Plus, all news websites ignored me, RGDA too, my country and Steam did a lot of things against me, so, if I will continue with this game or I will make free, I will have a common guilt with all those who mocked me.
Update for who want more about game remove:
As a fast reply for who wonder why I want to remove my game from Steam.
I have nothing to lose.
My game was hidden by Steam for a unknown period of time.
https://store.steampowered.com/newshub/app/722210/view/5280989900256340044
Also, the country where I live didn't recognized this game and all game news websites refused to post something about this game.
Also, RGDA – Romanian Game Developers Association ignored my game.
I contacted a lot of websites and I did all my bests but they considered this game doesn't exists.
Also, I'm not agree with Steam Learning or Limited Profile Features, because if Steam allowed me to publish my game on Steam, it's right to allow me to use all the Steam features, because if not, Steam didn't accepted me really and it looks like I didn't added my game on Steam. Also, the system for rate the game to get all Steam features is not right, because, from what I hear is also based on reviews and the problem is that a lot of users buy a game, play it, but don't write a review and here is my case: I own over 2000 games with ZERO reviews.
Also, I had an extra small amount of sales, because of this limited profile features, because RGDA ignored me, because all news sites ignored me and my country ignored it and the piece on the cake, when I search on Google or YouTube "Smart Cube" I see only brain kids toys, but my game, no, such as it doesn't exists.

I decided to stop it, because I want to have no more common guilt.

So, I decided to take over and recover my life until is not too late. Please don't keep me in this painful chain!

About the soundtrack:
The person who worked for the soundtrack refused to be credited, so, I wrote that I worked for the soundtrack, because he used the music software licensed on my name so, it was legal. Why, he refused to be credited? Because, he considered that is not right to write "Soundtrack composed by" and after years we (together) found the solution: Soundtrack developer. Why? Because a game without a music or a soundtrack cannot be launched and is not considered a game, because we live into a world where the most part of the people can hear sounds, so, the soundtrack is a part of the game, so he is also a developer not a composer. And also, because is a big difference between a soundtrack composer and a soundtrack developer. A soundtrack composer working with a real orchestra and he creates his sounds and uses music score and he uses human voices that sing along the song.But, a soundtrack developer is a music creator that uses audio loops created by soundtrack composers and he uses VST plugins with sounds already created and even he create his custom sound, the new sound is not a creation, is just a variation of few knobs, settings, effects. Because, he didn't play his song using a real music instrument. What I want to say is that, developer word means you develop something, but a composer means you create something. So, I would like to urge others people to understand this idea, because is not right to say you composed a song, but you just did few clicks, you used VST plugins, or you worked with audio loops, or your just used software algorithms and then you bragging that you composed a song. You didn't composed it. You developed a song, exactly like game developers who don't created a game engine and worked with a game engine created by another person or by a company. So, now the person who worked for Smart Cube soundtrack allowed me to publish his name.
