Update 0.26 - FOUNDATIONAL UPDATE:


This update is larger than normal due to revisiting the project and redesigning a lot of core features, along with adding new ones.

Join the discord here.

[h2]Features:[/h2]
  • Database (A record of all your satellites)
  • New CHARACTER for STS
  • Sell Data (Sell your data in the database to gain $)
  • Buying Drones (Purchase more Drones to increase the strength of your signal to a region)
  • Signal Strength (The strength of your signal in % is tied to the drones you buy)
  • MAX Sat (Once a region's signal is 100%. You can now MAX a satellite by solving it in 0.6 seconds to get MAX data)
  • Signal Analyzer (See the range of when you can MAX a sat. Buy more drones to increase this range)
  • System Screen (Plug and unplug drives you acquired from merchant convos)
  • New Stroop Colors added (Pink, Brown, White)
  • Rhythmic Feel Redesign (You can now play BoS as a rhythm game, if you lose a beat once you will lose instantly.)

[h2]Changes:[/h2]
  • All stroops are now 50/50. Before this tuning it used to be STS 66 (true) / 33 (false). ES 20 (true) / 80 (false).
  • Main Menu has been simplified.
  • Code for Characters became more subtle (this killed the fancy decryption thing, but keeps the game looking less like a child put it together)
  • Inputting code for characters can now be done in the Database.
  • Removed RF audio & fx to a subtler audio/visual
  • Data downloading from Signal changed from exact digits converting to data on click, to the signal strength being a % of total data a sat has.
  • The # of drones you have determine how much Data you download from each Satellite.
  • Sats have set Data, the more drones you buy, the more data you can get. Each region has a set max # of drones to get max data.
  • Max data range per region increases based on # of drones in that region.
  • Region Progress in the middle of the menu now based on you downloading total data from a region. Which is determined by # of drones & # of MAX sats.
  • MILF moved to second region
  • Changed KB/MB datatype to TB as the standard
  • Ripping $500 from MILF actually gives you $500 now.
  • You can now actually pay MILF $500.
  • Region Intros only occur once, completing a region a second time will take you straight to the next region.

[h2]Fixes:[/h2]
  • 60% of the game was refactored from Playmaker to C#. If there was a bug, it's fixed.

[h3]Notes:[/h3]
  • If you buy more drones past 100% signal in a region, you won't be able to download more than the region offers. Every region has a data cap.
  • To avoid accidental activation of RF, it will only kick in after 5 successful consecutive beats. (Assuming RF is plugged in)

Folks I want to be extremely clear, every update after this will have significantly less content by comparison to this one.

All this work went to foundational systems, we remade and installed basic systems for the game to function. Now we're coming back to region building and additional features.

Catch you guys on the next one!

BACK OF SPACE IS BACK



After taking a Hiatus since Dec 2021, our team recovered financially/operationally and we're ready to hit you guys with the best region yet.

There were some of you that haven't lost hope and we want to let you know we appreciate it.

In truth, we've read everything, and for whatever compliment or constructive feedback we get, thank you. Your ideas make this game better. Below is the planned road map (which is subject to change).

[h2]2023 Road Map:[/h2]
  • August - FOUNDATIONAL UPDATE
  • September - ESCAPISM
  • October - FREE MARKET
  • November - THE KARMAN VIRUS
  • December - Multiplayer

There will be utility features built in as well installed in-between each of those major updates.

Important to note, the reason it's taken this long for us to come back is because there's an entire 'other game' inside back of space that I wanted to surprise you guys with. Now, with these monthly updates, I can secretly develop it side by side. Once we're ready to launch, you would be playing another 50% of the game you haven't yet.

Really looking forward to showing you guys what we're cooking.

Catch you guys in July.

What's going on?

Good news! We made the game ambitious.
Bad news? Time.

[h2]Missing Tech for animation[/h2]
We've ordered spoiler which will reach us in September 2022.
This tech is deeply important to us so we animate faster.

[h2]Lack of Capital[/h2]
We're sinking financially, it's hard to make money.

So I came up with two solutions to start making money.
I made a social app and releasing it in July, it's dore.app.

[h2]Why'd you delete the discord server?[/h2]
It had 800+ members, 500 of which came in the span of 4 days after creating it. (they came from oldtv)

I lost the biggest way I can market my games.
However social media brings out the worst in me and I try to limit use of it.

I have no tolerance for deliberate immaturity, drama, bullying, uncivility, sass, spam, lack of charitability and/or intellectual debate in my company or from friends. And I definitely won't accept it from anyone who directly engages with me, which is why I can't run a day care for teenagers (discord), sorry.

I won't be carrying followers for my new projects. To illustrate, for the 3rd time, that it must be possible for games to sell without ads. However, these games must be extraordinary for it to work.

I'm sorry I keep failing, but I'm not giving up.
