We're one month from our Early Access release, and we've got A LOT to show off - so this Status Report's coming at you rapid fire!

Grab your GATE coffee mug, brace yourselves and let's dive in.

From enemies to friends to an exploitable power source, it's one of the features that the mystery dev writing this post is the most excited about: getting to adopt your own little space potato!



And if you don’t care about petting them, perhaps you'll be excited to utilize them in your base to power your benches throughout the night!

“It seems Dr. Manbanko's work with IS-0173 is bearing fruit. After restraining it in a box and feeding it for a time, the creature's aggression dropped remarkably. I'm intrigued to know whether this was due to its rapid learning or the coercive power of nachos.” - Dr. Derek Manse

Every good scientist needs their journal! Your Compendium is just that, updating as you encounter locations and enemies to help you keep track of all those names and places that could turn out to be important to your research.

“TO ALL STAFF: Ensure you have consulted the GATE Compendium before interacting with or conducting research on any immured subject. Familiarity with protocols is essential for all those investigating or otherwise handling all contained specimens. Failure to do so risks injury, death or even dismissal.” - T. R. Enderson, GATE Immurement Manager

Highly requested during every playtest and demo, it's finally here: All you tidy scientists can rest a little bit easier knowing that your cables will be somewhat more manageable from now on.

from: rmoyer@cascade.internal.gate

For the thousandth time, we NEED to get Manufacturing tidied up to a basic safety standard. The place is a mess of cables and worse. Am I supposed to believe that in this facility, full of supposed geniuses, no-one has devised a way to organize power wiring?

More hair options!



More face options!



Offices feel even more office-y with added details like blinds!



Trinkets! What are these for? Perhaps you’ll find out for yourself soon enough…



Scoot.



Scoot scoot.



GATE’s security has been tightened to keep its researchers safe from their research.



Different reloads for different levels of reload skill will help scientists understand their own abilities better. Our Art Director, Connor, has been hard at work making them apparent!

Low level reloading vs. high level reloading:




More plants, ingredients and overall recipes, which is good news for our Somatic Gastrologists. Have fun, soup hunters!


Paintable deployables will let you further personalize your bases.





Please check out our full Early Access Announcement for all the details!


With Early Access on our minds we made a Q&A Dev Vlog to answer some related questions from community members.




All aboard IS-0138!




When you descend into the GATE Cascade Research Facility you’re going to be facing a lot of unexpected challenges. Follow these Status Reports for tips, insights and strategies to keep you safe, as well as fun looks-behind-the-scenes at development!

The player can now hold down the Shift key to hold the door open.

Here are the patch notes for Hotfix #35, which is live on Steam and will shortly be live on our other platforms.

• Fixed a crash that could occur when aiming the Psyker Blitzes “Brain Burst” or “Brain Rupture”.

Dev Note: This is partially reverting a fix from 1.2.33 that was intended to fix a crash that occurred when aiming a Stimm at a teammate at the same time as aiming the Zealot Abilities “Chastise the Wicked” or “Fury of the Faithful”. This crash is fixed, but has the known issue of not being able to target enemies by aiming “Chastise the Wicked”/“Fury of the Faithful” at one while aiming a Stimm at a teammate.

• Fixed a crash which could happen if every player left the Mourningstar during the mission voting phase.
• Fixed an issue where approaching wounded Poxwalker enemies would make their wounds visually disappear.
• Fixed an issue where facial hair was incorrectly displayed when wearing the Zealot “Incantata Mk IVa Obedience Helm” head gear cosmetic.
• Fixed typos in the descriptions of the “Bargus”, “Calumny Fall” cosmetic bundles and the “Shadow Sanctum Crusader Garb”, “Incantata Mk IVa Obedience Helm” cosmetics.

Greetings players,

We have been hard at work on new plans, and we are now ready to tell you what is in store for the first year of post-release development of the game.


Free Updates
The initial free updates will primarily concentrate on enhancing multiplayer and skirmish modes, introducing new maps, modes, and features, including the first Multiplayer Co-op maps.

Subsequently, a campaign update will be released, offering customizable difficulty options, and a new mission for T-Force within the main campaign.

Further multiplayer updates are scheduled for later in the year with even more maps, more Co-Op games, and also in game chat. Alongside all of this will be ongoing quality-of-life improvements.

Premium Content
We are currently developing the first DLC to be released this year — a campaign that explores the continuing war between man and machine from a fresh perspective. In this DLC, players will have the opportunity to play as the Machines themselves. Expect new mission locations, units, and many other exciting additions as the story continues.

Feel the ground shake! Turbochargers, the Monster Trucks Pack is here!
Get ready for bigger wheels and bigger thrills in Hot Wheels Unleashed™ 2

Thank you

Hey there, thanks for playing v0.7.0 and giving feedbacks. This hotfix (more like warmfix now) should solve these problems:

1. We hope, problems with last drill area are solved. Now you can find and open the cells on last drill area without any problems.
   
2. Late game waves are harder. You won't make it out alive.
   
3. Tentacle attack and Vortex Blade pull areas are now correctly represented.
   
4. Cursed Chests can be see from a bit farther.
   
5. Cursed Chests now open instantly. Some players stop expecting the game to stop instantly and enemies would catch up and damage the player.
   
6. Some little quality of life and text improvements:

• Hp regen upgrade in Workshop now correctly displays health regen, from 0.4 to 0.2.
  
• Main Menu -> Back to Lobby in Run End Screen
  
• Confirm prompt for refunding Workshop purchases
  
• Hovering over Gadget and Evolution selections in Selection menu now selects them and updates info text.
  
• Sometimes WASD and gamepad navigation would stop working in specific menus. They should mostly be fixed now.
  
• Some more unmentioned text and bug fixes.

We are aware of the issue preventing the game from opening only on the Mac version, and we are still working to resolve this issue. Thank you for your patient waiting, and we apologize for this unexpected problem.

The first patch for Bears In Space is here! We have fixed some major issues like the progression blocker in the Outskirts level involving the battery. We have also fixed the player’s video settings being synced between platforms using the Steam Auto-Cloud save; no more having to reset your video settings every time you switch from desktop to SteamDeck!

There are a lot of small bugfixes and changes in here as well, please keep letting us know if you find any bugs either on the Steam Discussions page or in our Discord, your feedback is invaluable to us in helping us make Bears in Space be the best game that it can be!

- Adjusted some timings on some conversations

Levels

Crashland - Fixed a line in the Astronomer Bot’s dialogue not auto-continuing
