Hey Folks! Please welcome our new friends at Kitfox Games, community manager Alexandra and director Tanya. Some of you may know them for their publishing work with the devs of Dwarf Fortress and Caves of Qud. We've known them for a while through our indie dev circles. And today we’d like to announce that Kitfox will be helping us reach 1.0 launch next year in 2025. We hope that this new collaboration will not only give us the support we need to focus on developing the remainder of our roadmap, but also entice more people to check out Ostranauts. We've put together a new trailer to show the latest state of the game, to announce the upcoming launch timing, and reveal the new publishing partnership. Please give it a watch, and share it with anyone you think might enjoy it: [previewyoutube=JXsgeMEAEhc;full][/previewyoutube] Our Across the System Update 0.14 is now on the Steam default branch. You can read all the patch notes and update information here: https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1022980/view/6647962234211919914 Speaking of updates, here is the new version of our roadmap, outlining our development plan leading up to 2025, and beyond. Our hope is that by 1.0, you will have a robust feature set and ample content to play with, and that we will be able to continue to update and improve Ostranauts well into the post-1.0 future.

You’re welcome to join the Ostranauts channel on the [url=https://discord.gg/kitfoxgames]Kitfox Discord server[/url], as there will be many Dwarf Fortress and Caves of Qud fans who might be intrigued by what Ostranauts offers, and they could use an experienced scavenger to offer tips and tricks.
