Hello!

Deep Space Exploitation is now fully released and playable here on Itch and over on Steam! 

For the first 2 WEEKS the game will be 20% OFF, and 100% of the earnings from Itch sales will GO TO ITCH!

If this is the first time you've seen the game (thanks for taking a look, btw) then I'll briefly explain:
Deep Space Exploitation is a space mining game featuring 2D physics, fully destructible asteroids, and a story of survival under an exploitative corporation. You'll need to use your equipment wisely, upgrade your ship, and make difficult decisions in order to secure your future!

If this isn't the first time you've seen the game, then thanks for taking another look! And thanks for all your support throughout the development process. Making the game was super fun, but the real magic was seeing people's reactions, feedback, and overall excitement. So thanks again :)

If you've bought the game and want to help me out you can leave a review here on Itch or on Steam, share the game on any social media you're on, or just come over to the Discord to show your support. :)

Demo

The demo has also been updated, and the save files are fully compatible between demo and full release. So if you're unsure about buying the game, give the demo a go and if you like what you see you can buy the full game and pick up where you left off.

What's Next?
This is the v1.0 release, but there are still some small things I want to add that I didn't really have time to before. I won't promise huge content updates, or DLC, or the like, because the truth is that I'm really excited to get to work on ideas for other games that I have. That's still a while away though, because I want to make sure I react properly to post release feedback and make sure DSE is in the best shape for people to enjoy. I'll also have a lot of business related things to consider, like what my primary source of income being video games will look like. Oh, and there're quite a few games I want to play once I have a little less pressure on me...

Anyway, thanks for being here at this exciting time, and I hope you enjoy the game!

(Because these posts feel a little bare without images, here's a picture of some flyers I had printed for the game and handed out at local games cafes and bars. I wanted the design to look like game print ads and box back cover art from the 2000s)
