- Cosmonautica - Past & Future - 16 January 2017
http://chasing-carrots.com/images/banner_statement_707.jpg Dear Cosmonauts, we would like to shed more light on what has happened – and apologize. Many of you are disappointed, because Cosmonautica lacks stability and shows several other unpolished aspects. We do understand your frustration and we are sincerely sorry for the flaws you experienced! First off, we’d like to assure you, that our whole team did their best to put as much effort as possible into testing Cosmonautica in any regards, until launch - and afterwards. Despite the criticism we have received, we also get positive feedback from many players who are not experiencing any issues and are enjoying the game a lot. We had huge ambitions for Cosmonautica. Looking back at how things turned out, we share the frustration of the disappointed part of our community. And we have learned a bitter yet valuable lesson about choosing the…

- Cosmonautica Update 1.2.1 (What's up?) - 3 March 2016
http://www.chasing-carrots.com/images/Update.jpg Hello fellow Cosmonauticans, we're back with a few small changes which should help regarding some crashes and other problems. Right now we're working on a new project and therefore not full time on Cosmonautica. A bigger update would require a lot of evaluation and maybe re-designing of certain things. Time we really don't have right now, since we're a small team. So for now we will make small changes here and there from time to time and then we'll see how we can improve more in the future. Still, we're not turning our backs and just let this go as you can see. But we hope you can understand our side. If you have any questions, feel free to write us an e-mail or here in the Cosmonautica Steam forums. The problem with the 2nd and 3rd skill in the task assignment screen got fixed Fixed the ‘Endangered Species’ mission, it can now be success…

- Cosmonautica Update 1.2.0 (game changer) - 23 November 2015
http://www.chasing-carrots.com/images/Update.jpg Hello fellow Cosmonauticans, sorry that it took us longer than expected. This new update 1.2.0 brings you lots of meaningful changes and updates. We enhanced the game with some comfort features like quest markers, a passenger display and so on. Also we tweaked and re-balanced lots of stuff around the moral and need system. What does that mean for the game? Well, some features will make more sense and it's more like the way these features were intended in the first place. But the game will get a bit harder with that, but only if you don't take care of your crew ;) You will experience that your crew or some crew members are going to lose it, but you can handle every situation with the new and current features like the new bonus button, or by just removing all work shifts and so on. So we would advise that you start this with a fresh game an…

- Cosmonautica Update 1.1.9 (fixing and preparing) - 28 September 2015
http://www.chasing-carrots.com/images/Update.jpg Hey fellow Cosmonauticans, this update should fix some campaign related crashes and some issues with passengers. Alongside this patch we're also preparing and planning the next big update 1.2. which will be ready in a few weeks. We're trying to integrate as much feedback and suggestions as possible into the next update. And better late than never: Cosmonautica is 15% off for the next 7 days (since the launch discount wasn't triggered). FIXES: Fixed crashes during travelling to campaign-related solar systems (eg. Yike System, Bloom C) Fixed final fight: Mission descriptions now specifically advises to prepare for combat. Save games being stuck right before the unresolvable fight will be set back one step. Both final enemies are better balanced and now won’t flee anymore. Fixed problem that the campaign mission won’t be removed from the N.O…

- Cosmonautica Update 1.1.8 (the late one - aka we're still here) - 11 September 2015
http://www.chasing-carrots.com/images/Update.jpg Hi fellow Cosmonauticans, first of all you may rest assured that we're still here and updating and enhancing the game. We always said that we're not going to abandon our game, it just took us some time to get working on it again in a proper way after gamescom and some needed vacation time. So we put lots of effort into fixing crashes and optimize the game here and there. We also added new missions and we're planning a new update as you read these lines. CHANGES in Cosmonautica: 23 new missions have been added After starting a travel, the view remains on the solar map Rhys Fenrize and Commodore Punkkore now fly individual ships in combat Added touch-scroll for lists Optimized data exchange UI Code to improve performance FIXES: Enemies offering money via diplomacy in space fights too quickly or not suiting the situation Crew tooltips in the…

- Cosmonautica Update 1.1.6 - Out of Early Access - 31 July 2015
http://www.chasing-carrots.com/images/Update.jpg Hello fellow space captains, today is an cosmonawesome day! After over two years of development, our small team has finally breached the final frontier - Cosmonautica has left Early Access. Over the course of the past months, we brain-stormed, created, improved, overhauled, fixed, discussed, cut, risked and strived hard to follow our vision of a space trading simulation of its own kind. Needless to say, that without you as a community, Cosmonautica would not be the game it is now. We know, however, that there's still room to improve. Not only stability-wise, but also regarding future contents, we won't stop working on our little baby, so we can give you the best possible experience for your adventures in space. That said, we appreciate your feedback very much, be it questions, ideas or any bugs you find. So feel free to get in touch, and…

- Update 1.0.22 (balancing and polishing) - 15 July 2015
http://www.chasing-carrots.com/images/Update.jpg Hi fellow Cosmonauticans, we're constantly improving the game and fixing lots of stuff. Right now our main focus is to deliver a great overall performance without huge bugs, but that doesn't mean we're leaving the game behind after we're out of Early Access. Thanks to you, our fellow space captains, we have gatherd lots of valuable and great ideas and merged them with our list for possible future content. Of course we'll have to see how things work out in general, but we see that there's a demand for things like mod support and so on. Right now we're also preparing for our gamescom 2015 appearance and maybe we'll see some of you in Cologne :) The final "out of Early Access" release for Cosmonautica will be July 31st and we hope you had lots of fun so far and also enjoyed the soundtrack. So here's the list of what has been done during the…

http://www.chasing-carrots.com/images/Update.jpg Hi fellow Cosmonauticans, we have lots of stuff for you, but not everything is directly in-game. Some of you already noticed the new trading cards and with this update you will find the Cosmonautica soundtrack in your game folder. *Drum Roll* Now the localized languages are integrated and you can change the language via the main menu options. You can choose between, English, French, German, Russian and Spanish. There are still some minor issues with how the interface displays different languages, but we're on it :) The final "out of Early Access" release for Cosmonautica will be July 31st. New / changed in Cosmonautica: Localisation for DE, ES, FR, RU Cross-Save functionality Fixed: Space fight maneuvers Space fight UI polishing Balancing (good prices, ship prices) More stable flight trajectory Reworked solar traits (less universal system…

http://www.chasing-carrots.com/images/Update.jpg Hi fellow Cosmonauticans, this time we keep it short. It's story time and now you can enjoy the campaign. The space fight is still a bit wonky, but we're on it :) Also many of you asked for the localized languages and for now these will be the additional languages for the final release: French, German, Russian, Spanish The final release for Cosmonautica will be mid July. The exact date will come with the next update. CHANGES in Cosmonautica: Campaign (Alpha State) More sounds and music New planet textures and shaders Reworked “Out of Order” asset GUI is ready for localized texts More colorful alien skins FIXES: Reordered mainmenu, fixed transitions N.O.D.E taskmanager: swap tasks is working again Layout of popup window now more consistent Fixed room positions in Lucefloat (Cruiser II) New color scheme for ship icons More consistent colors…

- Update 1.0.19 (socialize) - 3 June 2015
http://www.chasing-carrots.com/images/Update.jpg Hi fellow Cosmonauticans, it's time to improve the social needs of your crew. Therefore we've implemented the socializing feature which is usable in the following rooms: Kitchen, TV Room and the Party Room during flight. Also make sure to check the crew tab. Other than that we have implemented a new alien, achievements (with more unique images coming) and the customs check is now animated. In case you encounter bugs and other problems and want to send us a save game, they are now located in your \Steam\userdata\ folder. For example: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\64851922\320340\remote" The easiest way is to search for "playerprofile" in your \Steam\userdata\ folder. CHANGES in Cosmonautica: Crew socializing feature Steam Achievements (Beta) New alien race Animated Copper New cozy two seated passenger cabin Improved interplanetary…
