Hello everyone!
We’re proud to announce that PULSAR: Lost Colony has left early access and is now in version 1.0!

Devlog #91: https://youtu.be/_-XbLEvhI_s
It has been a long but amazing development to get here, and we’ve had the best community we could ever ask for to help us along the way. To all of you who have played PULSAR, sent in bug reports, written up feedback—we are forever grateful. This game has changed drastically from our original idea, and it’s because of your help and support that we’ve come this far. PULSAR is better for your part in it. Truly, from the bottoms of our hearts, thank you so much.
Even though we’ve reached 1.0 and consider the main experience to be complete, we still have plans to expand upon and improve the game with post-release content and updates. We don’t want to get into specifics in case our plans are forced to change, but we’ve already begun work on some post-release content and are excited to share it with you in good time.
We will be updating the roadmap with our plans as we work on post-release updates: https://www.pulsarthegame.com/roadmap
We’ve also added a new section to the manual providing more information on the crew AI system and an overview of editing AI priorities and creating new AI behaviors!

In case anyone missed the earlier announcement, the soundtrack for PULSAR: Lost Colony is now available! You can find it on most online music hosting sites. If you’re interested, please give it a listen! We’ve been lucky to have two amazing composers work with us on this project, and we’re extremely proud of the soundtrack they have produced.
