We are happy to announce the first update to Masterspace since the Steam introduction. The major new feature introduced in this version is the support for mod packs through integration with the Steam Workshop. Hopefully, this will be the start of a flourishing mod community with plenty of player created content. You will be able to enjoy custom objects and materials, as well as completely new scenarios. A few sample mods have been included to get you started.
This update also adds a bunch of Steam achievements to the game. These will serve to give the player an extra sense of progression. Achievements are awarded for various feats, such as constructing spaceships and visiting other planets. We plan to continously add more achievements during the coming updates.
Furthermore, we have been hard at work to fix bugs reported by the community and implement requested features. We sincerely hope that this new update will provide an improved Masterspace experience and we are looking forward to your continued feedback.
