Hey!
Now that 0.2.8 (with 0.2.8.1) is released, I can begin working on the next update. Of course, I'm talking about the 0.2.9 update, which will add some amazing features!
Well, I will point out right at the start, that this update is a little bigger than any previous, so I will probably need more time to make it.
Just stay tuned! I will share with the progress on my Discord server: https://discord.gg/sbXwwMs (there are actually amazing people! I love to message with all of them :D)
But let's begin with the content, I plan to add to the game during this month/two months. The 0.2.9 was supposed to add crew stuff and it is! I want to add crew missions, and with that Dragon capsules (Crew & Cargo), Starship, new launch pads, and new payload types (or orbit types).
(I think now you see, why I need much more time for this update) :D
Rykllan (3D Designer) already made some models. They're looking amazing and I can't wait to add them to the game as playable objects. :D
Other things to mention: I will do a price increase in the near future. The price will go up to 11.99$.
Why am I doing a price increase?
EarthX is available since 12th July and I added A LOT of new content during that time. I just feel like this game is worth more, but also the expenses are going higher and higher as I'm hiring more and more people to do content for EarthX (models, icons, music).
However, if you feel like this game is not worth 12$ for now, just add it to your wishlist. There will be some discounts during this and next year and you will be notified.
To sum up:
The 0.2.9 update will be released somewhere in November, then I will begin the work on 0.3.0 update (about which I will tell you in the Winter changelog :D).

- EarthX Linux [153.31 M]
In EarthX you can build a really big space company, starting as a small startup. You start in 2002 with just a few million dollars, and your task is to manage the company and begin to produce rockets.
You have to build some factories for creating modules, offices for searching for contracts, labs for research points production and hangars for storing your rockets. Once you have rocket built, you can launch it up into space. Don't forget, that your rockets may explode sometimes. Your first launch will be a test mission, so the customers can see your capability. Once you gained some trust, you can take some of the available contracts and shot the real payloads on the orbit.
EarthX was highly inspired by real companies like "NASA", "Suborbital Company", "RocketLab" and of course "SpaceX".
Build rockets
Unlock modules (19 available for now), design your rocket project and build their variations in your factories.
Launch, Land, Repeat
Launch disposable rockets, and later with the new technology and certification land with them on the barge.
The rockets may explode sometimes
The rocket build quality and durability have a big influence on this. The more rockets you build, the more experience you gain, and this will help you avoid explosions.
Take contracts and complete the missions
Your level of trust affects what contracts you receive. Each contract has its own missions, which you have to complete on time.
Manage the logistics on the planet
Build factories, offices, labs, and hangars. You can upgrade every building, which gives you additional work speed.
Manage your company
Upgrade company, hire employees and apply them to the buildings, and gain achievements.
It's just a.. statistics
See what you did over the whole game session. Take notes and continue with the new game then. Your next game will be better!
But if not...
Then you will bankrupt again! :)
EarthX has its own graphic style. The soundtrack is made by .xrm from SoundCloud. We kept the user interface as simple as possible and we think, that we achieved the goal!
Note, that this is an early access title. Everything can change in the future, and not everything can now work properly.
