In-game event15 Sep 2026Version 1.56.1: Patch NotesHello again starchasers! I'm back sooner than you may have expected, back with a decent sized patch that's here mostly to address a myriad of reported multiplayer issues, amongst other things. This was originally going to just be a small hotfix, but more and more reports came in and it kind of ended up as a full patch... thing. You don't care though, do you? You just want some cats. Of note to…
Hello starchasers! You should have expected a new patch to coincide with the Steam Summer Sale; I'm a predictable kind of guy like that. There's not too much new stuff here: it's mostly fixing a ton of (some pretty serious) bugs in multiplayer, as well as refining various options that are already there. Anytime you see these public patches, they're going to be in this vein right up until 1.0 (s…
Hello Starchasers! Did you expect an update? A mainline update? I certainly didn't, not at first, but I met with the other members of our development team (pictured below) and we discussed the matter at length. We've reached the point now where the only remaining thing before our 1.0 launch (barring content reactivation and a shitload of bugfixes) is voice acting. The game is now, totally, in a…
Hello, starchasers! It's our second year annivesary for Underspace's early access release, and we've been barreling towards the full 1.0 release at a breakneck pace, with only a few major tasks left before we enter our beta for that! The cats are excited. Now, we've had a lot of new blood coming in since last month's big Steam sale, as well as a ton of work done on our multiplayer beta branch s…
Hello starchasers! What, did you think you'd never see me again? Did the Doubt Gnome whisper his foul magics in your ears and make you believe like this wasn't something that was gonna be pulled off? Well, surprise! Multiplayer's here! Sort of. It's going quite well, actually. I guess you could say that the cat's out of the bag on how we're handling it. Multiplayer Beta Branch Originally the pl…
Hello starchasers! My two-week sabbatical is coming to a close, and there's been a few bugs unleashed by the last update (and the whole fundamental-change-to-our-entire-file-format) that required a fix or two. Since I was also able to finish up some other bits and features (some requested by modders hard at work replacing starships with anime girls), I decided to include those as well. However,…
Hello starchasers! It’s been a hot minute since the last patch announcement, hasn’t it. I’m sure the cats missed all of you, if they could understand such a concept. When was the last mainline patch? September, was it? Jeez, that’s a lot of time. Obviously, our beta branch has been receiving a ton of updates, but this here mainline main branch update took a while to get anywhere, in no small pa…
Hello starchasers! No, this isn't the talky patch I've talked about, but there is news and a new opportunity for those willing to try it out. You want cat photos first? Alright, fine. Okay, got your fill? Onto more important matters! Beta Branch I spoke briefly on establishing a pre-update beta branch for the game, which is now available! This beta branch updates more frequently with far more u…
Welcome to September, starchasers! Now we all know it's about three days until that Bug Game releases, so all of us, myself included, probably don't give two rocks of an Ast's wing-thingies about any sort of other games at the moment, but that won't stop me from putting out this patch so I won't have any more obligations hanging over me. Well, minus any obligations to the furry screaming things…
Starchasers! Hunters of the Union and beyond! Did you think I was done with you? Did you think you could let yourselves rest? We're done with patches when I SAY we're done (and when, you know, we've got multiplayer and stuff implemented). It's been a couple weeks, and on some level I wanted to wait a bit for this patch, but we've seen a big influx of new people playing and a few juicy tidbits a…
Hello again starchasers! Been a bit, hasn't it? Lot of bug reports piling up. Unfortunately for you and me, these past two weeks have been spent moving halfway across the country and then waiting for my actual work materials and computer to arrive, so I haven't been able to address the various issues and softlocks introduced with Color Out In Space. The real funny part is none of those issues e…
Welcome one and all! Ladies, gentlemen, starchasers, sentient microbes and angry screaming swear crystals! The Steam Summer Sale has commenced and Gabe Newell has blessed our wallets with the blessing of being drained. My computer is packed somewhere in some box somewhere and I'm flying halfway across the country to an entirely new house while I write this, but that hasn't stopped me from getti…
Hello starchasers! It's been a hot minute or two since we last talked, huh? What was it, April? April seems like it was years ago. I bet you've been starving for cat pics, huh? It's taken quite a bit to get this update out, seeing as these two damn things want my attention at all hours of the day. In between being forced to sit on the floor with these things, I've been hard at work on Underspac…
Hello starchasers! Today's April Fools so normally I'd be announcing something silly like selling ships for real money or adding battleships. But I don't make jokes, ever. So to that end, I'm releasing patch 1.42.0 for Underspace. This has a few new features but mostly it's implementing a bunch of background technology in preparation for our next milestone update, which has stuff like being abl…
Welcome to March, starchasers! I hope you're having a better time of it than our cats did, seeing as they spent most of this month sneezing and being sick. They're better now though. Back to being normal weird furry things that never stop screaming. So! I've got good news and bad news. I'll start with the bad news: This milestone update had to be divided into two parts. What? If Warframe gets a…
Welcome back starchasers! It's been a hot minute since I dropped a hot steaming patch onto your laps, how you holding up? Doing okay? Want to go back to sleep under the covers? That's fair. But let's talk patch stuff. We're aiming for our next big milestone update: Intergalactic Architecture is still on its way. We're aiming for a mid-March drop for it, and most of the interior models are compl…
Starchasers! Anarchs! Those weird guys in Peerless that keep fighting over explosive cubes! Come one, come all, it's 2025 and our first patch of the year is now live. Is it the big update you've been anticipating? No. I posted that recap like a week ago, I can't spurt out seventeen planets in that time, even if I didn't sleep. I don't sleep anyway, because of this orange asshole. and this black…
Welcome Starchasers! Happy New Year, hopefully things work out for you, those New Year Resolutions get resolved, you work off that eggnog hangover, etc, etc. I’d waste your time with this preamble, but you and both know you’re here for the real meat of this yearly recap so let’s get into it! Where We’ve Gone 2024 was a huge year for Underspace. Mostly because, you know, it was actually our firs…
Hello starchasers! Did you have a good The Game Awards? Did you see that trailer without any gameplay? Yeah that sure was a trailer. Did your favorite game lose? My cat's favorite game lost and now he's overcome with despair. I'm sorry to the both of you, but maybe you should play better games, like Underspace. Anyway, this is possibly our last patch for the year, and it's a good one. All our p…
Welcome starchasers! It's the Steam Autumn Sale (which takes place in the heart of winter for some reason) and predictably, we've got a patch just in time for you. I know you love patches, in the same way Mimosa loves her mechanical duck toy and Prince loves his string. This update's got a few new tidbits that I finally got around to doing. No it's still not the big milestone update, seeing as…
Welcome back Starchasers! I recall saying that I was off to the Big Easy to gain ten pounds in gumbo and banana's foster, but it as it turns out when most of the good places are all within walking distance you actually end up losing weight. What was I talking about? My cat's birthday? Oh right it was his birthday during this hiatus. He's three years old now. Go on, wish him well. Work on the tw…
Hello starchasers! This is was originally going to be a cockpit hotfix for our lastweek gamepatch, but then I worked a bunch and now it's not. We're still not quite ready to showcase what's coming up for milestone 3, in the same way that my cat's not quite willing to accept that he's a gremlin. There's a big charcuterie board's worth of stuff this patch, which hopefully should tide the more pec…
Well hello starchasers! It's been a hot stellar minute, hasn't it? Did you think we were just going to leave you forever? We're not THAT kind of Early Access game, rest assured. But after breaking my soul and back to get Faces In The Fog out I wanted to take it slow on these upcoming updates. You know how it is, you pump out a huge amount of quests and nonsense and maybe you want to spend some…
Hello starchasers! I've returned from the Mothman, who was both very moth and very man, as well as received our cats from the Cat Stasis Facility, so everything is back to normal. Normal enough that I think you deserve a bit of a patch, eh? This will be our last patch for September, but October might have some goodies as well as we focus on getting out Milestone 3 and prepping for that. Station…
Hello starchasers! As promised we've got another patch for you this month, right before I take a small break to go off to the Mothman Festival (I made an oath to do so). This is mostly a big pass on all the new content, but I had some time between wrangling my disgusting furry cat animals to give some quality of life stuff. Look at this thing, assuming the shape of random letters. There's a few…
Hello starchasers! We're nearing the end of the Space Exploration Fest, and I'm still out here on a beach sipping mocktails and reading sappy fanfiction as I take a well earned post-crunch vacation. That means there's not a lot of resources for a full on patch, but there's enough smaller bugs that I'm pushing out this patch to rectify a few bugs and such. We'll be back later this month of cours…
Hello starchasers!, and welcome to Steam's Space Exploration fest. We'll be here all week, not only with a free demo to try (of course) but also a major new update with Faces in the Fog (our biggest yet) and a weeklong 25% discount. See you in the skies, and remember to keep an eye out for giant ancient space trains.
Welcome starchasers! It's the first week of Steam's Space Exploration Fest, which we're proudly in, and with it comes our next milestone update: Faces in the Fog! This is a massive update that I've spent months prepping for and that adds a huge amount of new content for players of all levels. It's been quite a major task getting it all out, and my cats started to freak out over my own stressing…
