To all SSC Station occupants
Thank you for the donations over the past year (2024), it is much appreciated. I am still trying to figure out how to migrate the forums to another community software (probably phpbb) but in the meantime I have updated the forum software to the latest version. SSC has been around a while so their is some very long time members here still using the site, thanks for making SSC home and sorry I haven't been as vocal as I should be in the forums I will try to improve my posting frequency.
Thank you again to all of the members that do take the time to donate a little, it helps keep this station functioning on the outer reaches of space.

Just noticed that Drifter 0.4 was released about a month ago.
Indeed! We're trying to get 0.5.0 out now soon 🙂
i thought this was done long ago? What happened?

Nice will have to keep an eye out for it, any news on when the game will be available through Steam?.

The game has been playable for ages but it's just taking longer than expected to get it to where I'd like to be to call it 1.0. Various delays here and there along with it taking 6 annoying months to get through Greenlight have taken a bit of a toll. That said we're still working hard at it and things are moving forward fairly well regardless 🙂

As soon as 0.5.0 is out it should be on Steam Early Access and available for everyone that Kickstarted and pre-ordered around the same time.
How will the updates be handled on Steam ie will be patches or a full download as it is now?.

I'm hoping I'll be able to take advantage of Steam's incremental update system so it's not always a huge download every time.
OH HEY 2014 what is up.
Colin wrote a great post on the last year and the year ahead. Spoilers : really cool news in this post, goooo read it.

Don't forget you can follow Colin's or my own twitter for news updates images and info as they happen, and also Vine has a lot of cool things to see :

2014 here we goooo ~flail~
possible to get capital ships or at least a 'corvette' type ship with crew in it? I'd buy it for sure if so! I can't get into 'fighter' only games anymore.

The ships in Drifter do get pretty large: 
However they are all directly controlled and there is no crew dynamic to speak of, at least at the moment. That said the game does range from small fighter type ships to larger and more ponderous cargo vessels but it's possible that's not really too far from the "fighter" dynamic you're looking to move away from.
Congrats on getting the game onto the Playstation network.
looking forward to seeing the station interiors. 😎
Hi there,
I was wondering if there is or will be a demo for the game?
Cheers!

There currently is no demo, no. I'm not so sure if it'll be easy to create one but it's not a decision I'm going to make until the game is done.
Mission office may look a bit like this
I really need to keep checking for updates. Drifter is just so relaxing to play and I don't mean that in a bad way, it has just the right amount of pace in a similar way the Elite 2 did.
If you have the newer versions, it will notify you when there is a download update available for the game 🙂
I don't think I have ever had a notification of a new version from Humble inless their an option that I have missed.

It's a new option as of 0.4.0, built into the client. It just lets you know if there's a new version available when you start up.
New update to Drifter, just happened to look at Humble 0.4.3 is their a change log some where?.

Yup! http://celsiusgs.com/drifter/wiki/Current_Build_and_Known_Bugs
We're also very close to getting the game up on Steam Early Access! Not 100% sure of the release date yet but probably within the next 2 weeks. Of course everyone that's gotten the game through Kickstarter and Humble will be getting Steam keys 🙂
Hi Colin, although I use Steam myself, I know some folk who don't, so will the game still be updated for Kickstarter backers & Humble Bundle purchasers or is the switch over to Steam compulsory to keep the game updated?

It'll be kept up to date on Humble as well, the Steam key is just a nice bonus for people who get it there 🙂
I have a love/hate relationship with Steam but having said that I have found it to be very useful for keeping indie games upto date.

Yeah I hear ya. Unfortunately it's almost a necessity these days if you're actually selling games on PC because there are so many people out there that only get their games through Steam.
csgColin you hear a voice from the darkness it says... 'capital ships'...
you must comply!
🙂
