In Everspace, players awaken onboard a battleship in a remote corner of our galaxy. They receive a mysterious command to appear at a specific place. Searching for the origins of their own existence and the unknown commander, they must fight their way through more and more new, uncontrolled territories where they will encounter other skilled combat pilots, who range from cooperative to hostile. Death will be a constant companion and constantly recurring flashbacks of the protagonist will gradually shine a light in the darkness of the mission.

During the course of the game, players will not only have to continually prove their combat skills, but also gather fuel and raw materials in order to travel to various star systems and repair and upgrade their equipment. The roguelike character of the game offers a quick and easy entry to the game and adds constant twists and surprises to the game events. Along with gameplaying skills, this also demands improvisation by players and provides an individual, always motivational game experience. Unlike in classic roguelikes, game progress is not completely lost at the moment of death, but rather remains available in the form of persistent upgrades.

It has been an amazing ride for us on Kickstarter and we couldn't be more happy to announce that the funding goal of €225,000 (~$250,000) for EVERSPACE has been hit. Over the last two days we have got over 2,000 additional backers from the space games community and the 1st stretch goal to support Mac and Linux has been unlocked as well.

This massive spike happenend right after Chris Roberts did a fabulous shout out on the RSI forum and an armada of friendly Star Citizens came over to back EVERSPACE as well and now we are on track to unlock our second stretch goal soon.

The second stretch goal will included further items and consumables of an ancient alien race as well as additional languages: ES, FR, IT, PL, PT (EN, DE, and RU will be available on launch).

An Everspace beta will be available in Q2 of 2016.
