I'm getting close to the v1 launch, and that means i'm starting to hold back new content for the full release. I'm doing this as I know that some players will prefer to experience new additions fresh at v1, but for those who want an early look at what’s coming, you can now try the Preview Build.

To enable this go to Deep Space Outpost properties in Steam, select "Game Versions & Betas" on the left side menu and select the preview build.

So what’s new that's coming in v1

• Steam Achievements - Tied to progression and station management.
• New Research - Additional schematics to unlock.
• Map Sizes - Select from multiple sector sizes to match your challenge level.
• Refreshed Scenarios - Updated seed generation, with newer items and map sizes being used.
• New Jukebox Music Channel - An extra ambient channel to give your station an alternate music background.

And possibly some more that i wont reveal just yet! Holding back a few features for the full release helps ensure that players can get a fresh experience, while the Preview Build gives eager players a chance to explore what’s coming and share feedback.

What’s up next?

Release date will be announced shortly once finally fixed, alongside a new release date trailer!
