We are glad that Dyson Sphere Program has sold over 1.7 million copies worldwide. \Wohoo/! We want to deliver our appreciation from the very bottom of our hearts. Thank you, dear engineers!!

TGS Clip:


Yesterday we updated our Achievement and Milestone system. Today, we revealed a bit about the combat system at the Tokyo Game Show. Our wish is to bring this highly anticipated system to you as soon as possible.

However, the combat system is a very large and complex content, which intersects and affects every branch of the game's system so we will need a lot of time to justify, produce and polish the battle system. We hope that the final presentation of Dyson Sphere Program's combat system will bring a different experience.

The combat system is expected to drop in the second half of 2022. Bu... Read more

Hi Engineers,
How are you guys getting along with the colorful Icarus? We are eating Chinese mooncakes while sending you this announcement - Happy Mid-Autumn Festival!

CentreBrain plans to the Steam Achievement system on the evening of September 30. \WOW/!
We will test the achievement system in the next few days, and the achievements will be visible during our test. You will be able to read about the achievements. However, these achievements cannot be unlocked until our official update on the 30th. Keep patient...!

Hi Mechanics!

It’s that special time again when we open up and show off some of the content we’ve been working on at the Scrap Mechanic HQ. This is probably one of the most exciting devblogs we’ve done in a while, as we will be showing off our new digging system!
We’re sorry for the long wait, but the features in this devblog have been in the making for a while. We’ve also been working on a lot of story-related things that we don’t want to spoil for you, so we won't reveal everything just yet!

So let’s crack open a sunshake and dig in!

Hi engineers!

When you finish the update and enter the game, you'll find the Icarus is kinda different - Yes, Icarus the HD Remastered! New textures, cool animations, and even more hardcore (face) landing technology!
Along with it comes new types of gas giants, factory rendering efficiency improvements, and other enhancements.

We've looked at a few ways to save engineers from having to reopen a new game every time a new planet type is added. For example, we tried the method of "leaving the visited planets unchanged and re-randomizing the unvisited planets", but we found that the randomization process was too complicated that the visited planets may also change under it. So now we are adding "subtypes" of planets to solve the problem.

Take a look at today's update.

[Version 0.8.21.8562]
Features:

• The model of Icarus was remade. It now has high-resolution body modeling and textures!
