Game update30 Aug 2026v0.5.23 — the second Russian passRussian · A hundred and sixty-three more lines of the interface, corrected by hand by the player who did v0.5.22. The cryo bay, the charters, the tutorial, the status readouts and the faction registries move to the newer wording. · The tutorial named the four gauges in the wrong order , and used a word for power that means wattage. Both match the line on screen now. · The crew's watch was a clo…
Коротко: русский текст в игре сейчас плохой. Претензии справедливые, спорить не буду. Русскоязычных игроков за последнее время стало заметно больше, поэтому переводом я занимаюсь в первую очередь. Сейчас присматриваюсь к Яндексу и другим вариантам — нужно то, что даст нормальное качество уже сейчас, а не через полгода. Чего я пока сделать не могу — заказать полную профессиональную локализацию.…
Hey all! Just some updates. Colony work is going well and scope is expanding. As well, identity wiring has now begun as I have the scaffolding in place to start having impactful events. The biggest changes are to resource management in the colony; I don't want to explicitly declare things as this round will go through much more rigorous testing as it will have a large content update, but the co…
Three updates that together rebuild how you arrive at a world: the star chart learns to move between the far view and the near one, a system becomes a place you can see, and a world keeps its secrets until you look. Along the way the plotted course reads true and the colony's dead are named. Seeing a system · The star chart switches between the interstellar view and a system's top-down map. Arr…
Notes are the same from 0.30 experimental — now on main. Four systems land in 0.3.0: named identities the crew hardens into, the departure board, genetic decline as a force that can end the voyage, and the science team's long projects. The voyage also runs materially longer before it comes apart. Named identities · The ship becomes something, and it has a name. Ideology and the loss of knowledg…
Three systems land on the experimental branch: the departure board, genetic decline as a force that can end the voyage, and the science team's long projects. This build ships to the experimental beta branch (opt-in) only — the stable branch stays on 0.2.125. The departure board · The ship commits its departure corridor at the launch board. Year 1 offers three corridors on file — the nearest rea…
Pre-launch screens are on the experimental branch now, if you want to look. This is part of the roadmap announced two weeks ago, and I promised to keep things updated. Before the crew goes into cryo, you set what the ship carries and why it left Earth — the charter, the research, the crew you wake first, the ship's fittings. It's the part I'm working on next. Fair warning: it doesn't do anythin…
A Steam Deck legibility pass, a clearer ship-maintenance readout, a real reason to wake the crew, an option to skip the intros, and a batch of fixes to the research display, the mission archive, and the early flyby logs. Note: I will be off-grid as of July 1 to July 5. I'll be silent during this time, but I will be back to read your bugs, comments, and suggestions. Ping me on Discord or here if…
A hotfix for several player-reported ways to get stuck — plus fixes to the survey/colony readout, the Captain's Brief, and the Steam Deck layout. If your save hardlocked after rejecting a planet, this build should recover it automatically on load. Hardlocks fixed · Rejecting a planet could break the star chart and strand you. After rejecting a world the chart could stop working and you couldn't…
Dead Reckoning — v0.2.111 — Steam Deck Compatibility Brings Dead Reckoning's interface, input, and saves up to Steam Deck standards. Most of this is Deck-specific and not visible on desktop. Steam Deck · Fullscreen by default on Deck. Fixes the mouse-input misalignment. The cursor now lines up with the UI everywhere, not only at the top of the screen. · Larger, legible text. The UI scales up on…
The navigation overhaul has landed. Every star you can steer toward is now a real catalogued star , the departure chart reads like an actual course, and a long list of playtest snags are gone. And with that, the last graphical vestige of Dead Reckoning 0.1 is gone. Navigation — every destination is a real star · Real stars, everywhere you steer. Nav candidates, the maiden course, and mid-flight…
An end game calc fix plus a few writing fixes. Thank you for the reports. New · The colony's year-100 population now reflects its century. The settled end screen used to show your landing headcount, fixed no matter the world or your choices. It now projects the population across the hundred years the screen describes, from the world's habitability and type and the drift your society carried dow…
Fixes — the star chart, a cluster of soft-locks, event timing, and a balance pass. Thank you all. Fixes · The star chart keeps your route and target while you move it. Panning or dragging the chart no longer drops the dashed trajectory line or the NEXT SYSTEM marker — they stay put (the marker rides the screen edge if you pan past it). The real cause this time was the target being culled off-sc…
A follow-up to v0.2.105; more fixes straight from your reports. Thank you for the detail, as always. Fixes · No more soft-locks after you land. Settling a world left the voyage running underneath the colony — probes still in flight, the navigation window still open, ship events still queued — and any of those could jam the game once you were on the ground. Landing now closes out the voyage clea…
Another batch straight from your reports — thank you for the detail. Fixes · Anniversary events now wait for the actual anniversary. Events that look back on a past decision — the fifteenth anniversary of the night of arrests, the chaplaincy's twentieth year, the engineering guild's twenty-fifth report, the seceded ship's faint signal — were becoming eligible the moment the year-floor passed in…
Dead Reckoning v0.2.104 — Hotfix Thanks for the flood of reports today — a fast batch of fixes. Fixes · Crew counts now show your living colonists. The register and roster were still counting colonists who had died, so your totals read high (e.g. register 1023 vs. a true 998). (bug-1551) · Landfall and First Refusal achievements now unlock on Steam, and any you already earned are granted automa…
Dead Reckoning — Update notes (v0.2.97 → v0.2.101) The demo and the full game both ship from v0.2.101. The headline since the last notes: survey probes became a real system — a scarce bay you fabricate and aim, and now you can target actual stars and get back their real worlds. Plus the Mars flyby returns, planet temperature finally reads sensibly, and a batch of crash/freeze/save fixes. v0.2.1…
The poor, procedural art depiction up here isn't the future; it's the past. This was the first asset I built in Dead Reckoning. It was the start of a concept, and I hope it shows how far it's come — and that it's these iterative steps that will take the game to the next level. Time to get to work Here's what I'm working on next. The basic game logic runs end to end now — the voyage, the drift,…
A narrative-correctness and clarity release. This folded additional minor releases into this release. The demo and the full game both ship from v0.2.96. Casualties, and the people behind them · Losses are counted from your actual colony. Impact strikes, cryo failures, and other disasters now report a toll that scales with how many people are really aboard, instead of fixed numbers — a catastrop…
Everything new since the last update: a wider star chart, a run that's harder to break, the soundtrack and the typing under your control, and a great deal of writing pared back to the bone. The demo and the full game both update to v0.2.93. A bigger star map · Set course for distant stars. Past the heliopause you can steer for far-off named stars — centuries-long voyages are allowed, hard-cappe…
