[b]Hey everyone,[/b] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38769404/4c2134df1213f805f4f03799b21d964bf7901c45.png[/img] On behalf of everyone at the S/M/P Team, thank you so much for supporting [i]SPACE / MECH / PILOT[/i] and making it our most popular release yet! We've got big news today, as well as a general update on things: 1) [u][b]The game is coming to Web Browsers and Linux, with development beginning Q1 2021![/b][/u] Details on where it will be released on web will be soon, and the goal will be that all versions of the game will be parable or at the least *mostly comparable* to each other. 2) [b]The game will resume patches adding accessibility options, balancing changes, and adjustments to dialogue throughout 2021[/b] (no ETA on all of these, will just happen as I get the time). The game will receive a new patch* today too, reversing anti-cheat locks and allowing for the leaderboards to function properly again. This change will be temporary as we attempt to diagnose why the anti-cheat is flagging problems falsely - it is likely a final fix on the matter will occur at some point later in 2021 (sorry!) If things are still not working, please post about it in the forums. * - As the patch only concerns changes to Steam Leaderboards, the patch will not be released on Itch.io (the game has otherwise received no major alterations on the exterior). Lastly, and here's a big thing: [b]We have plans to develop expansions for [i]SPACE / MECH / PILOT[/i]. We don't know when we'll start, nor I can promise we'll be starting anytime soon.[/b] Originally, the plan was to return back to the project in December and develop new content for the game. While that new content is still on the cards, the future of it is still not entirely certain. I figure it'd be best to just be transparent about that right now. I'll keep things lip-tight on what these expansions are beyond the fact that there's plans for two expansions, the first of which will add significant changes and new content to the gameplay post-story. It's no secret to several friends of mine that my life has been very tumultuous the past few months - and its the same for people on the team for many different reasons. As a free project that's run on a almost non-existent budget, I unfortunately cannot prioritize development on this game as much as I'd like, so I'm making the conscious development of relegating development to the side for now. I understand this is disappointing after promising we'll do more with the game, but rest assured - I at least want to see the game to the end, because there's still more to the story I actually really want to tell! Even if we don't get around to it, S/M/P is (in my view) a complete game - and we were able to add mostly everything we wanted to add into the game's original scope. Ultimately, I don't want to place the reasoning behind this for the game being a failure. [i]SPACE / MECH / PILOT[/i] was to us, a success, and we're genuinely happy that people are playing the game and enjoying their time with Kato. 2020 has just been a hard year, ya know? In the meantime, SKY HOUR WORKS is returning to active development on both [i]RE: DECEIVED VOICE[/i] and [i]PROJECT HAOxSORA[/i], and personally, I am still overseeing production on [url=http://unbeatablegame.com/][i]UNBEATABLE[/i][/url] and finishing the script for [url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/1479030/2ECONDS_TO_STRLIVHT_My_Hearts_Reflection/][i]2ECONDS to STΔRLIVHT[/i]'s sequel![/url] So there's more games from all of us coming around. I hope you'll check them out too :) You can learn more at SKY HOUR WORKS' final update of the year: https://www.patreon.com/posts/45490730 Stay safe everyone, and have a happy holidays (and new year!).
