- Releasing in Summer 2025 - 10 February 2024
Skip to the bottom if you just want news. THE BIRTH OF BACKOFSPACE: Hey Folks, We've started this journey in July 2021, as a means of me trying to make quick money after leaving the games industry in 2018 bc I felt like social apps were objectifying, depressing, and did not provide real social opportunity. I have this hilarious 'hero' complex which puts me in funny situations. The birth of BACKOFSPACE came about in June 2021 during the development of dore.app (the solution to social apps). I was told by an excitable and talented ex-colleague in 2021, in the middle of DORE's development, to quickly release an OLDTV DLC get some funding to fund our social app. So I loaded up the old OLDTV project, and while I was being inventive, I found something. There was a level I made, all lower case, from 2017. Called 'back of space'. Which was supposed to be the second dlc after COLDTV. Suddenly I…

DIVE INTO THE BEST OF BACK OF SPACE YET! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFSuLygh1dY Added: THE SCREAMING MACHINE NEW LORE ??? Fixes: TKV visual glitches Selling Glitches Hidden god mode Time scale problems Inconsistent animations This is the final update until launch in mid April 2024. Update 0.6 has been announced back in December 2021, after overcoming a hiatus, financial issues, and a rebirth - that day has finally come.
- Update 0.575 - 11 December 2023
Version 0.575 is live - NPCs now work in progressive mode with no issue. - Fixed odd camera effects when opening system - Fixed speed bug where cam animations play too fast at random points (ruining tkv's intro) - Fixed some inconsistent video bg issues Dev note: Believe it or not but ever since progressive mode. All new players did not access any NPC after julie. As of 3 days ago i've 'fixed' the problem but with glitches. And tonight, finally, the game is stable and all new players will experience the npcs. No wonder the return to bos back in June 2023 only added 17 mins of gameplay

- BACK OF SPACE IS BACK - 22 June 2023
After taking a Hiatus since Dec 2021, our team recovered financially/operationally and we're ready to hit you guys with the best region yet. There were some of you that haven't lost hope and we want to let you know we appreciate it. In truth, we've read everything, and for whatever compliment or constructive feedback we get, thank you. Your ideas make this game better. Below is the planned road map (which is subject to change). 2023 Road Map: August - FOUNDATIONAL UPDATE September - ESCAPISM October - FREE MARKET November - THE KARMAN VIRUS December - Multiplayer There will be utility features built in as well installed in-between each of those major updates. Important to note, the reason it's taken this long for us to come back is because there's an entire 'other game' inside back of space that I wanted to surprise you guys with. Now, with these monthly updates, I can secretly develop…
- What's going on? - 27 April 2022
Good news! We made the game ambitious. Bad news? Time. Missing Tech for animation We've ordered spoiler which will reach us in September 2022. This tech is deeply important to us so we animate faster. Lack of Capital We're sinking financially, it's hard to make money. So I came up with two solutions to start making money. I made a social app and releasing it in July, it's dore.app. Why'd you delete the discord server? It had 800+ members, 500 of which came in the span of 4 days after creating it. (they came from oldtv) I lost the biggest way I can market my games. However social media brings out the worst in me and I try to limit use of it. I have no tolerance for deliberate immaturity, drama, bullying, uncivility, sass, spam, lack of charitability and/or intellectual debate in my company or from friends. And I definitely won't accept it from anyone who directly engages with me, which i…
