We regret to announce that Shallow Space has been cancelled. About a year ago we designed a new client that ticked a lot of the boxes that the community were looking for originally but we struggled to include, as time went on it became clear that the decision was contentious as it would remove a lot of the current look and feel. We have to admit that it would have been quite a different game to what it is currently on Steam now. Dealing with the legacy has been difficult. It is highly unlikely that wed have been able to cut though the negative reviews and press even if we were to create something amazing and it has been soul destroying to try. To punch through that negativity we would have needed one hell of a marketing campaign which was not possible with no funds. In the absence of funding we intended on it being a part time affair, driven by a couple of the original team members. But coding and community management dont really mix, personally I found myself feeling the effects of burnout yet again and the team had mixed feelings on the direction the project had decided to take. In addition, with no funding, there was no hope of producing additional required assets that matched the expensive stuff we already had and we only have half the models needed. Trying to raise additional funds by selling the original assets elsewhere didnt work. Hardest thing ever to admit defeat, but we simply dont have what it takes to finish this financially or mentally. Thanks to all the fans, there are other strong projects continuing the good fight, look forward to seeing them unfold.

Construct your fleet ship-by-ship by foraging in dangerous asteroid clusters and nebulas for resources and completing quests. Build up your modular base to include all the things a fleet commander needs; refineries, factories, power stations, shipyards and trade docks. Evolve your ship Captains careers, customize your ships using loot savaged from wreckages, become embroiled in action spanning huge playable areas and work across multiple planetary systems to bring order to Shallow Space.
An innovative ‘zone’ system lies at the heart of what we’ve dubbed the ‘Open-world Overhaul’ and through it NPC traffic will trade, mine and fight just as you do.
