The final Early Access update: 0.10.0 (changelog)
Hello there, mercenaries.
It's almost time. After weeks without updates, we're pleased to announce that the pre-launch Escape Space update, v0.10.0, is out!
It means that this will be the last content update before the full release of Escape Space. Yes, we're almost there!
[h2]Important note for early access adopters[/h2]
Your save files and Steam achievements will be wiped, and we're very sorry about it. It's the first and last time this will occur, and there are good reasons why it happens now. Read the full patch notes to know more!
As always, thank you for your engagement in playing the game, and reporting feedback and issues.

And if you want to follow me on the journey of making this game, I'm streaming the process every Tuesday/Thursday at 9 pm Paris time on Twitch!
