Dear Earthlings
The Exploration Update is ready to launch! To celebrate the upcoming release of the Exploration Update and the amazing year we’ve had, Out Of Orbit will be available at 50% off during the Steam Winter Sale!

EXPLORATION UPDATE
The Exploration Update is set to launch on December 15th 2024, strategically timed just a few days before the Steam Winter Sale kicks off. This scheduling allows me a crucial four-day window to identify and address any significant bugs or issues that may arise after release. By doing so, I can ensure the game is in its best possible state before the anticipated influx of new players joining during the sale. This approach should help provide a smoother experience for both existing and incoming players, setting the stage for a successful holiday season.

STEAM WINTER SALE
The Steam Winter Sale kicks off on December 19th and will run for two weeks. During this time, Out Of Orbit will be available at a massive 50% discount, a special way to celebrate what has been an incredible year for the game. This year, Out Of Orbit experienced tremendous growth, which is a milestone worth celebrating. This sale also coincides with the release of the Exploration Update. This major update introduces a wealth of new content and features, offering players even more ways to immerse themselves in the game. It’s both a thank-you to our loyal community for their support and an invitation for new players to jump into the action at an unbeatable price. With these events happening back-to-back, this Winter Sale is shaping up to be an unforgettable period for Out Of Orbit!

DEMO
On January 3th, a free demo of Out Of Orbit will be released on the Steam store page! This demo is designed to give players who are interested in the game a chance to try it out and see if it’s the right fit for them. Whether you’re curious about the gameplay, the mechanics, or the overall experience, the demo provides the perfect opportunity to explore a portion of the game at no cost.

GIVEAWAY
After the demo is released, an exciting giveaway contest will kick off on the official Discord channel! I’ll be giving away 20 full copies of Out Of Orbit to participants who showcase their creativity and skill. To enter, players will need to use the demo version to build their best spaceship. The most impressive designs will win a copy of the game!

This is your chance to put your creativity to the test, explore the demo’s features, and potentially earn a full version of the game as a prize. Full details, including contest rules and submission guidelines, will be shared on the Discord server soon, so stay tuned!

THANK YOU
I want to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude to the incredible player base that has supported Out Of Orbit and helped it grow into what it is today. Every player, from the veterans who have been here since the beginning to those who joined more recently, has played a vital role in shaping this journey. Thanks to your enthusiasm, feedback, and dedication, my dream of creating this game has been steadily turning into a reality—something I once thought was just a distant hope.

Without your continued support, creativity, and passion, Out Of Orbit wouldn’t be nearly as fun, engaging, or rewarding as it is now. Your contributions have made this game more than just a project; it’s become a thriving and dynamic community. For that, I am endlessly grateful, and I’m excited to keep building this world alongside all of you. Here’s to many more adventures together!
