- Community Dash 17# - 12 September 2026
Dear Earthling, It’s time for another Community Dash! Just a small one this time, but important nonetheless.HolidayI’ll start with a more personal note.My wife, our two kids, and I are going on a small holiday to Greece for 7 days, from September 13th until September 20th. We haven’t really had any proper free time since moving into our new house, so we feel that we really need to take a step back, slow down, and spend some quality time together as a family.For me, it’s also about taking a break from the game and reminding myself what life is really about, spending precious time with the people I love, making some memories together, and simply enjoying some time away from the usual daily routine.Because of this, I’ll be responding very minimally to questions during these 7 days, and I won’t be nearly as active on Discord as I normally am. I think taking some time away and putting my foc…

- Community Dash 15# - 11 July 2026
Dear Earthling, It's time for another Community Dash update! Steam Summer Sale The Steam Summer Sale has come to an end, during which Out Of Orbit was available at 50% off its regular price.I’m very happy with the results! During the two week sale, the game sold 797 copies and generated $5,836 in gross revenue.Another great sign is that the refund rate continues to decline. I believe the game is finally reaching the right audience, and it has become much more stable compared to earlier versions.If you're curious about how much money I actually make from selling my game on Steam after fees, taxes and other deductions, I made a short YouTube video explaining it. Feel free to check it out here! Massive Backend Update To address the scaling, windowed mode, fullscreen, and mouse offset issues, I am currently upgrading the game to the latest version of the engine. These problems are engine re…

- Community Dash 14# - 23 June 2026
Dear Earthling, It's time for another Community Dash, because I have some important information to share with you. Scaling and Windowed Mode Issues I have been receiving a lot of feedback and bug reports regarding scaling issues and windowed mode. The issues related to scaling and UI text readability will be fixed as soon as possible.As for the windowed mode issues, these are not game related problems, but engine related ones. To fix them, I need to perform a significant backend update by upgrading the engine to its latest version, where these issues have already been addressed.This update will take up a significant amount of development time, as many functions have changed and will need to be rewritten or adjusted. Updating the engine will be my main priority before I begin working on the next major content update: RPG III.Please note that there is a high chance that save files may bec…

- Community Dash 13# - 2 June 2026
Dear Earthling, It's time for a new Community Dash because there are a few things I'd like to discuss and share with you.SALES LAST MONTHFirst, here are the sales figures from last month. The game achieved its highest monthly revenue since launch. Thanks in large part to a video by Splattercat, as well as the RPG II update sale, the game generated a gross revenue of $26,787 during the month. (This figure excludes Steam's 30% revenue share and applicable taxes.)I want to sincerely thank everyone for the support. It's incredibly rewarding to see the community continue to grow, and I'm grateful that such a fun and positive player base is forming around the game. DESIGN PHILOSOPHY AND REVIEWSThat said, I have also noticed a small trend of negative Steam reviews starting to appear which i want to adress. Most of these reviews are related to bugs and technical issues rather than the core game…
