- Deepspace Emporium Legacy: Publisher & Future Plans - 10 October 2025
Hey, everyone! I have some great news to share with you.I have signed a publishing partnership for Deepspace Emporium! Without disclosing the publisher’s name for now, I can say it is one of the most well-known indie publishers that has brought multiple indie hits to life. Moreover, it was a fantastic opportunity to secure the long-term development of the game and ensure that I get the resources to cover beyond my initial needs.What’s next? We are looking forward to announcing a new and improved version of the game together with the new demo in the coming months. The new version will feature top-tier pixel art visuals, significantly expanded content, including new starting scenarios, activities, customers, and more. The current demo stays available for now, but is renamed to the "Legacy" to reflect that it does not represent the level of quality that I’m now aiming for. You might notice…

- Patch Note 035D - 28 February 2025
Bug Fixes: Fixed a bug that allowed players to put items into containers they don’t own. Fixed a bug where showing an ingot to Dr. Jackson could interrupt him and prevent him from displaying his stock. Fixed a bug where accepting a deal before the Information Dealer started talking could interrupt and bug the interaction. Fixed a bug where items bought from the commissary wouldn’t appear if the counter was full, but credits would still be charged. Fixed a bug where, in the food stamp system, if the amount was counterfeit and a security seal was missing, the report on the seal would fail when generated. Changes: You can now sell to customers even if they are out of budget. A pop-up UI will ask you to confirm. (For example, if a customer has 50 credits left, you can now sell them a 51-credit item.) Buying clients will now leave when they run out of credits.

- Patch Note 035 - 20 February 2025
Security Mechanic Expansion: Security will now track your crimes when you commit them, such as trading contraband or bribing security. Trading contraband with certain customers will not increase (or will only slightly increase) your tracked crime level. Example: trading with a Revolutionary faction customer (no increase) and the black market (50% increase). The Mentor will give you your security record after your first crime is committed. (If "Skip Intro" is selected, you will start with the record.) The security record contains what security knows about your criminal activities. It is always up-to-date. Depending on your crime level, your evidence level will increase at the start of each day. The higher your crime level, the faster the evidence level rises. If it reaches 100, security will issue a fine, arrest, or execution depending on your crime level. Your crime level will decay slo…
