Happy Holidays!

[p][/p][p]I wanted to take this moment to thank all of you for being part of Reentry - A Space Flight Simulator. This year the game made it to the major 1.0 milestone after spending years in Early Access.[/p][p]The transition was both as exciting as it was scary, and I want to thank each and every one of you for your overwhelming support. [/p][p]The game has moved beyond of what I ever though was possible, all because of your involvement, feedback, reports and suggestions. I have tried to listen to all of this, paid attention to the various discussions taking place to figure out how I can improve the game, tweak missions and lessons, and fix issues that has been reported. It has also been amazing to see you share your screenshots, stories, and experiences from the game.[/p][p][/p][p]I will be taking a couple of days off to relax a bit with my family, and start to transition towards the next phase of development. Since the 1.0 release, I have been fully focused on being reactive on the 1.0 bits, trying to roll out patches as fast as I can to get the bits as stable as possible, without creating new features. [/p][p]The 1.0 scope was always to get a strong fundament to continue to evolve the game. It was all about making it possible to:[/p][p]1) Reach orbit in Project Mercury[/p][p]2) Rendezvous and Dock in Gemini[/p][p]3) Land on the Moon and return back to Earth in Apollo[/p][p][/p][p]Going forward I will keep iterating on these core goals, but also start to plan on the transition to version 1.1 where I once again start to look ahead. I have talked about some of the new features I wish to implement such Virtual Reality, Mission Control, translations to other languages, multiplayer (Gemini Coop), the Space Shuttle and improved graphics.[/p][p][/p][p]I have avoided rolling out any new patches right before the holiday, but I have a large patch ready containing quite a lot of improvements and I can't wait to share it with you.[/p][p][/p][p]It has been amazing to have all of you with me on this journey. We’ve welcomed many new virtual astronauts, seen others return to the game, and continued to grow alongside those who have been part of the community for years. Thank you for helping me build the game to the best of my abilities.[/p][p][/p][p]Wishing you happy holidays and a wonderful New Year.[/p][p] [/p]
