This has been an incredible week for us here at Handyman. We did it!! We got through Greenlight! To say that we were all completely shockedby the announcement is an understatement, it's still just sinking in for the team. Needless to say, we've been busier than ever, but it's anamazing feeling! We want to say a heartfelt thank you to everyone that voted for Edge of Space and supported us, we owe this all to you. The best is still yet to come, and it's wonderful to see the even more rapidgrowth in the community now!
Our celebrations haven't slowed us down, and we are working hardto complete work on the Rebirth patch and get it out to our players. We will be showing plenty of it on tonight's Livestream, so if youaren't around at 7PM EST, be sure to catch the recording of it! We can honestly say this takes Edge of Space to a whole new level. There is very little we've left untouched, and we are very excited to hear the community's thoughts on what we've done. This is a tiny glimpse of just oneof MANY exciting changes to the game.
As long as we don't blow up the labs, everyone will be exploring the new patch in the next week or two. We know it's been a long wait, but it will be well worth it. We very much appreciate everyone's patience over this last month.It's awesome to have such a supportive community! On the community side of things, we definitely want to encourage everyone to come to the forums and get involved. Come and hang out in the IRC and meet us! We are always happy to see new faces, and answer questions about the game. Stay awesome you guys, and we'll see you next time for the ArkCo Weekly News!

Edge of Space is already a fantastic game, and getting better every day. The amount of progress since Day 1 beta back in June is absolutely staggering, and I can't wait to watch it get even better

Not really impressed by this so far, I think I might stick with starbound when it comes out soon, since the developers are already almost going to release it soon! This game wasn't much of a bang for your buck and wish I didn't spend the money.

Alrighty, I gotta ask, why are the game files password protected? You're freaking out my antivirus. XP
Okay, your reviews are really kindof suspicious. All 10's and a single 2? Seems pretty unlikely, you guys might be creating fake accounts or something to get a high rating or something? Not a single 7? Not a single 8? Not a single 9?
I was about to purchase this game until I went through your reviews now I'm a bit leery.
That said, the game does look pretty interesting and right down my alley...
If I were to purchase on Desura, will I get a Steam key upon greenlight? That would likely seal the deal for me and others I'm sure.
I gotta agree with you. I bought mostly because of the raving reviews and had to find my way to the game forums just to find out how to start the game in single player. You must start one instance of the game as the server and another instance of the game to join "localhost."
I don't seem to have any sounds in the game. No gun sounds, no digging sounds. Will have to investigate. I won't pass judgment yet in case it is my settings.
It does look like a really good game and I will post a review hopefully in the next couple of weeks. Probably a short review but a fair score considering it is still alpha. I hope it turns out as good as Terraria because that game sucked up some serious gaming hours.
If this turns out that good - I will buy multiple copies for family and friends. I love running a little Terraria or Minecraft server and this looks like a lot of fun.
Also, did you not try try the "beta guide" tab in the launcher? It gives you a direct link to a youtube video I made to walk you through starting the game up.

Mik3k, thank you for understanding the stage of the game. I know you've seen my other post most likely, but I do invite you to come hang out in our IRC and participate with the community. We are very community driven.
- The reason you have to do the double start up has to do with being built from the ground up as multiplayer. Without going into it too deeply, it means even in single player you are interacting with the server the same way it would multiplayer. But when we create the single player version, the easiest way to explain it, is that the server is then emulated. But we need testing with it not in an emulated state.
- Yes, there are no sounds in the game currently as sounds can some times give superficial good feelings about a mechanic, something looks, ect. We have been very focused on mechanics, function, and feeling of the game and it is easier to point out things that are wrong with no sound. But we have been amassing our SFX for deployment when the time comes.
- Please feel free again to contact me any time in the IRC for any other questions and I also am more than happy to do any interviews and answer questions.
we have a huge built in community from kickstarter and all of the people gained over the last 5 months of development, so there are people ready to jump in and vote for us. Its as simple as that.
Hey! jeremiah. I would suggest coming and hanging out the IRC and talk to some of the people playing the game. We have not created any fake accounts, and we do have a 9 actually i just can't remember which row it is on. We are extremely active with our community and you can tell here in comments we do our best to reach out.
We are still working on the logistics of steam key upon greenlight. But it is something we would like to do.
