We’re happy to announce that Starbase development continues. In the near future, the Starbase Public Test Universe (PTU) will be changed from a Beta branch into a separate app ID, so you’ll be able to have both the Live Universe, as well as the Test Universe simultaneously installed.
We will start to update the Starbase Test Universe with a number of new features as soon as we wrap up a viable patch.

To see a glimpse of what’s planned and coming to Starbase, check out our new Development Update video:

It’s been a long development pause, and we’re happy to be back at it!

The Early Access release of Starbase on June 17th is unfortunately going to be delayed. We have looked at the release-readiness of the game and listened to the feedback of our alpha testers, and decided to delay.

A video message from Joel and Kai:

Missing Features & Lack of Testing
There’s some key features that haven’t quite made it into the game yet. These include the easy-build-mode and more tutorials (which are important for new players and the early-game experience), factory stuff, company controls and a number of other features that we feel are essential to the launch. We don’t want to release without those features, or without having tested those features properly. So unfortunately we have to delay at the last moment.

For our many thousands of fans waiting for access and the chance to play, we apologize for having given a now-false releaase date earlier. We have made this decision with the game’s best interests in mind,...

Throughout this year we’ve been hosting various types of in-game events in Starbase to test the performance, netcode, servers and various features to prepare the game for Early Access.

We are now one month away from launching on Steam – Early Access starts on June 17th! With the help of our dev tools, we’ve captured some pretty cool footage and...
