Space Haven Dev Tracker

Greetings, Spacefarer!
Space Haven Alpha 12 is now available to play in the experimental branch. As a reminder, the update process is as follows:

1. A new Update is first available in the Experimental Branch.
   
2. Players, who do not mind playing a more unstable version, will first want to test the new update.
   
3. Once the experimental game build looks solid and stable enough we will push it out officially to all players!

NOTE! Joining experimental is completely optional, and you should only do it if you are willing to risk that some new bugs are introduced, which could affect your game play and potentially break your save.

Please do not join the experimental branch if you don't want to risk breaking your save or have the game break on you in midst of play! ... Read more

Greetings, Spacefarers!
We have a small patch for you today. When the roof graphics were updated for the hyperdrives an uneccessary restriction was introduced, preventing you from stacking hyperdrives close to each other.

We wanted to fix that as soon as possible to make let you have more space at the back. =)

We also had time to create a new wide styled ship to be added for the Pirate Coalition fleet. The ship design is inspired by what other players had created before! Hope you like it.

Patch Notes

[version] 0.11.1

• A new wide style pirate ship added to the Pirate Coalition fleet.
  
• Hyperdrives should stack closer to each other once again.
  
• Fixed bugs.

Alpha 11 - The Slaver's Guild, the Military Alliance and More
Greetings, Spacefarer! We've been working on a big update for a few months now, which will expand on your interactions with factions and also introduces slaves as a mechanic related to the Slaver's Guild faction.

There's lots of new interesting features added. All of these should make your space adventures more interesting and open up some new possibilities.

The Slaver's Guild and Slaves

Mark and Cooper are slaves, not amused by their Algae Dispenser as their only nutrition.

Season's Greetings, Spacefarer!
And thank you for this year. This year has been truly eventful and special. After 4 years of hard work our small 3 developer indie team was finally able to launch Space Haven into Early Access, but we never imagined it would be in such turbulent times. It has been quite the journey and we're extremely grateful for how it all has gone and excited to keep working on the game.

We wish you happy holidays, and hope every one of you get at least a moment to relax. It has been a special year for us here at Bugbyte, and we're looking forward to 2021 with new exciting updates to come. =)

Spacefarers. I come to you with a dream. A dream of balloons, some beer and a Steam Award! Together we can do it! Hear my speech, Spacefarers.
Aye, fight for it and we may be disappointed. Dying in our beds many years from now, would you be willing to trade all the beers from this day to that for one chance, just one chance to come back here and tell our enemies that they may take our beers and balloons, but they will never take our passion!

I can hear you shout in unison! "You have my beer! You have my balloon! We will vote Space Haven for the Best Soundtrack category and make this dream come true!"

Spacefarers, vote now at the top of this post. Let's do this Together =)
If you feel like Space Haven could possibly be nominated in other categories too, that's great! However, if we focus our efforts... Read more
