Helium Rain 1.0.1 released
Last week, we released a new 1.0.0 version on the beta channel with many changes:
Helium Rain was released in Early Access in August 2017 - around 13 months ago. Here's a sample of everything that was added to the game since it released...
We also didn't add some things we wanted to add. In particular, we planned on adding a storyline to the game - other features took priority - and fuel systems to make fuel and engines a more advanced mechanism - that simply didn't end up interesting and was dropped. There is still a lot of content and features we would have loved to add, but after more than four years in development, we wanted to complete the project, make every existing system as good as it could, and make sure the game works smoothly. This has been a long and wild ride, with a great community. We're happy to have brought Helium Rain to where it is now. We will now release the game out of Early Access on October 11 this year, a few weeks from now. We'll try getting some attention - make sure you tell your friends about Helium Rain if you enjoy it !

Helium Rain is a single-player space simulation that places you at the helm of a spacefaring company. Exploration, trading, station-building, piracy are all options. You will need to master both real-time action and long-term strategy: destroying a freighter has a direct impact on the economy, while declaring war will make your spaceflight environment slightly more hostile...
