Hi Translators! This is the first post-release update! It’s packed full of bugfixes & QoL changes and a few content updates.  We're not even a week out yet and the response has been incredible! I'm glad you all are enjoying the game. Plus, we have some awesome fan art of the Translation team! artwork by @kalidels artwork by HTJKM Some notable changes include a fix for achievements that were sending at weird times and not transferring over from the demo properly, support for different regional settings on the in-game calculator (for example: using comma as a decimal separator if your computer’s

Hi Translators!  “The Message from Deep Space” is now released!   The full release is here. 1 Meteor, 900+ Transmissions. I hope you all enjoy! (Astronomer's Note: Meteorite***) Only a day out and we're already rated "Very Positive"! How awesome!! For the 100+ players that have taken the time to play the Beta, I owe a many great big thank yous. For all those who found typos, faced unfair troubles with difficult transmissions, reported issues with the game’s interface, and highlighted areas of technical inaccuracy– it is much appreciated! You have created a better path for all who follow in you

Hi Translators!  Today we’ve got a small round of changes for the beta. A few bugfixes, a once again much-requested improvement to dictionary formatting (custom default formatting settings!), and a bit of content updates too, across hypotheses, transmissions, and dialogues.  Some of these new additions are not thoroughly tested, so they will only apply to the Beta for now. But I’m sure they will soon make their way to the demo as well!  Before diving into the changes, I would just like to highlight that we are over 5000 wishlists as of writing this (scratch that-- 6000 my goodness).

Hi all! New round of changes!  I appreciate the feedback this community gives because it actively shapes the game in a myriad of ways.  You get stuck on a transmission? Great, it’s updated for clarity and an Idea is written! (Like the dreadful transmission 57) You mention a “potentially pedantic” nitpick about Bautista writing the hypothesis “RND” for a particular signal when in the BASIC programming language, that was the function for “Random”? Great, Bautista’s hypothesis has been updated!  All of these are real pieces of feedback I’ve received and real ways that the game has been updated. I

Hi Translators! This week is Steam's Next Fest , a fun event that happens a few times a year to explore upcoming releases and play their demos! And guess who's in it... The Message from Deep Space !! There's never been a better time to play the demo! And if you're hooked, you don't have to wait too long for the full release, which is just 2 weeks away, June 29th!! In other news, I've got another update coming out in a few days with some new QoL features, more graphics customization, bugfixes, and tons of improved content, especially for the full beta version. So keep your eyes on the look out

Hi Translators! New patch landing for the demo & beta!  I hope you all are continuing to enjoy the game! It’s really cool seeing how much this game resonates with people. It seems like you all really get it.  Now, the problem with having a community that has an astounding attention-to-detail is that YOU GUYS CATCH EVERYTHING!! SERIOUSLY!! NO STONE LEFT UNTURNED WITH YOU ALL!!  But I love it. And I’m happy to listen to feedback and make the game better. So thanks for having an eagle eye.  General Changes Mark Ideas as Read button Computer boot and shutdown sequence Reference tab - NEW Linguisti

It's been a great 3 weeks since the demo released, and the response has been amazing! Thank you all sharing your feedback, letting me know the transmissions that were overbearing or inconsistent, the dialogues that were especially funny, and of course, the bugs ya found! (Sorry about the calculator's base-conversions being so buggy. I guess I'd prefer Dr. Bautista's base-10 update, too) Both the demo version and the beta version (contact us for a Steam key!) have received updates. Let's go over the highlights: Dialogues make use of the scientists' gestures (they point more often, yay!) Many ma
