- Future of Space Travel Idle - 18 November 2022
Dear Space Traveler Community, We’ve been silent for too long. First of all, our sincere apologies for not openly communicating what is going on with Space Travel Idle. We started working on STI in 2020 - two friends, incredibly excited about developing an Idle Game that is exactly how we would like to play it. A game that has elements of space travel, card collection, different layers of idle progression and enough content to last a player a long time of exploration. Back then, everything was quite in our favor: we had ample time to develop the game, and all the positive feedback we got on Steam and our Discord/QQ communities kept us rushing for more content and better updates. It was so much fun coming on Discord every day and talking to people who are playing the game that we created. It’s an amazing feeling that is really hard to describe. We learned a LOT about game development in…

Hi everyone, Thanks for playing the game after our big update 2 weeks ago. We hope that you enjoy the changes made so far. As promised, we want to keep you more up-to-date regarding our development progress. There have been a few bugs that need patching. Additionally, using your feedback via social media channels, we also improved on some gameplay features that could use it. Finally, we have a little bit of new content we want to share with you. In the next little update, these things await: A more transparent and optimized Dark Matter formula. Until now, players could not see what made Dark Matter increase - this patch will fix that.

- Update on August 14th - 31 July 2021
Hey everyone! We are making good progress for the big coming update and finally have a date for it. It’s finally coming on Saturday, August 14th, at around 13:00 UTC. We have successfully completed internal testing and will begin beta testing within a few days. Given how things are going so far, we do not expect any major bugs anymore. Nevertheless, as the update is quite big, we want to take enough time for testing to make sure everything goes smoothly upon release. We would also like to apologize to everyone who has been patiently waiting for the update. We know it’s been very long. We had so much we wanted to include that our timeline has virtually exploded. Game development is a learning process for us and the importance of maintaining a good update schedule is something we are much more aware of now. Future updates will be more frequent and bite-sized. For anyone who wants to have…
- Big Update Coming - 15 June 2021
Hello everyone, We hope you’ve all managed to get through the first half of 2021 safe and healthy. We have spent the last months working hard to improve Space Travel Idle. With the help of a lot of great feedback from all of you, the next update to the game will entail a number of (for us) exciting new features: An optional tutorial First off, we find that players often struggle most with the first few play-minutes. This became clear from feedback in the review section of Steam but also from our friends and family; we have heard that the first few minutes are entirely overwhelming. Therefore, we created a tutorial system that makes it easier for players to understand all basic elements of gameplay in order to “get going”. That being said, players who prefer to “explore” on their own, who prefer to figure things out without an extensive tutorial, will naturally be able to opt out of it.…
- Version 0.2.2.6 Discord Link Update & Bug Fixes - 20 January 2021

- Regarding Discord - 20 January 2021
Hello everyone, we have some very bad news regarding our Discord Channel today. A malicious actor, whom we have naively trusted with an admin role, has removed all of our channels and most of our players. We are currently in the process of building our channel up from scratch again. The old invite link will no longer work, so this is the new link to our channel: https://discord.gg/WrwuNqaees We will update the in-game invite button with this new link soon in a update patch as well. We see this as an important lesson and have taken all necessary steps to ensure this will not happen again. Discord was (and hopefully will be) our most important channel for communication with the community. We owe so much of what STI is to all of you, your support and suggestions. We want to continue to create a game that brings joy to players, so we hope that you will join us again on that mission. Yours,…

- Space Travel Idle is Now Available on Mac! - 8 January 2021
Hey everyone! Good news for all MacOS users ! From now on, the game is available on your Mac devices. As this is still new turf for us, there might be some unexpected bugs or performance issues. For that, we would like to apologize in advance.

- New Year Update Ver 0.2.1.29 - 1 January 2021
Hi everyone! Thank you for waiting so patiently for the newest release of Space Travel Idle Early Access. The game has matured quite a lot since the last update. We want to use this opportunity to thank everyone who has left reviews here on Steam and on Discord for helping to make this game better. Because this is such a major update, previous save-files will NOT be carried over. However, all players who have played this game before this release can receive a special reward card. For that, instead of clicking on "New Game", you will need to LOAD any old save-file from before this update (before & including version 0.1.5.7). While your game progress will still be reset as if you started a new game, you will have a special card in your bag as thank you. After a very difficult 2020, let us enjoy exploring space together in 2021! 🚀 Aya 2021/01/01

- Working on the new Filtering & Priority System - 2 October 2020
Hey guys, I've been working on the new filtering & priority system these days. Here are the previews of these new functionalities: You can find all your working tasks in the priority tab. Drag & Drop to reorder them! With the new filtering system, just drag the lock slider to decide what amount of resources you don't want anybody to touch, and move the discard slider to throw away the amount that makes your spaceship too heavy. (Tooltip shown is not yet updated) These are still open for changes, so let me know if you have any suggestions on improving them!
