Alpha 8 comes as a smaller update focused on the Build Menu. We've spent a few weeks improving it and making it easier to use, easier to find facilities and utilizing different resolutions in a better way.

For those who have been playing the Alpha for some time already it might take a little time to get accustomed to the new build menu, but once that happens you should notice it is much improved to the previous version =)



We've also worked hard on improving the translations, and hope to receive more feedback on them on our Discord server. We have set-up a channel for each language and there are instructions on how to report possible issues with the translations: https://discord.gg/zx2AN4F



STEAM/GOG Early Access Release

We are preparing for the official Early Access release. We do not have a date yet, as we need to sort out some tasks and find a good window for the release all things considered, it could be before summer but it might end up being after the summer in fall as well. Once we are certain of a date we will announce it, so stay tuned for news on that =)

So, we find ourselves in midst of a pandemic. Never would we have believed that we and the world would find ourselves in such a situation as the Steam early access release of Space Haven closes in.

We truly hope you are safe out there. So far we have managed to continue on as before, our small 3 person indie team has not been infected. We've stayed healthy and focused our energy on Space Haven, and as a result there's lots of new features we want to show you. =)

Advanced Game Customization


Many knobs and levers to emphasize your beloved features in the game.

We have created difficulty levels for the game,  and the possibility to customize your playthrough if you want to. It is a type of creative mode, where you get to specify what resources you start with, what kind of asteroids or derelict ships are found in the start sector and so on. This can be tweaked on a galaxy level too, meaning if you want a galaxy full of resources you can create that for yourself.

For players wanting to forget the challenge and just build in peace we added a sandbox mode, which will enable you to spawn resources at your will.

New features:

• Advanced Game Customization - Customize your playthrough with regards to resources, asteroids, derelict ships, alien presence and so on. Emphasize your beloved features.
  
• Sandbox mode - A sandbox category has been added to the build menu, allowing you to spawn resources and possible other items at will.
  

• Crew selection menu - Choose who you take with as part of your starting crew as you venture out to find a new home among the stars.
  
• Customize crew outfits - Choose the colors of your crew member outfits. Everyone can have a purple shirt, or yellow, or something completely different!
  

• Starmap fog of war - Pirates might catch you by surprise now!
  
• Polished backgrounds - At least some of the backgrounds will look a bit better =)
  

• Claimable derelict ships - These special derelict spaceships can be claimed and added to your fleet.
  
• New faction spaceships - Added some bigger ships for the various factions in the game.
