Greetings Space-Cowboys and Cowgirls! 🚀 We have some thrilling news for you!

Crunchy Leaf Games (that's Max, or 1/3 of the team behind 3030) is soon launching "Galactic Glitch Prologue," a new FREE version of our next upcoming game!

The game is an Action-Roguelike with physics-based combat. You'll be fighting in bubbles of glitched Spacetime, hurling asteroids, bouncing foes off of walls and destroying your enemies piece-by-piece on your path to break out of your galactic prison!


The Prologue version includes:

• Two full levels, each with unique enemies and environments

• Tons of weapons and powers for you to experiment with and find your favorite builds!

Just as with 3030, your input and feedback is super valuable to us! We're really excited to hear what you spacers think, and what you have to say about all crazy weapons, powers, and enemies we've stuffed in this new game for you! 🙌

Hey everyone!

Great news! As promised, it's time for another biiiig update! :KentWinning:

The update is called "The Latinum Shipyards" and it's all about expanding the game's lineup of ships and weapons, as well as adding a bunch of cool new features and stuff to do.

The first thing you'll notice is the overhauled new look of the shipyard screen, to make buying a new ship feel more sci-fi-authentic. The next thing you'll notice is that there are now lots and lots of new ships to choose between, ranging from small, bumbling space trucks, over lighting quick space-bikes, up to high-end Interceptors with elegant solar-sails. Because of all these new ships, we've now also added multiple pages to the shipyard screen, so you'll always have enough space cruisers and traders to choose between.

The second area that we focused on with this update is weapons and combat. You can now equip a range of new weapons, such as the slow but deadly Plasma Bomb, the close-combat Flak guns, or the beam-of-death Plasma Cutter (we really love that one :D). You can also add weapon mods to your front-mounted gun now, such as an alternating fire mod, or a focus-fire sharpshooter mod, for all you space-snipers out there. Enemies also have some new behaviour, with skilled enemy pilots being able to execute mini-split-jumps, adding a lot more action to dogfights and battles.

We've also been listening to the community about achievements, and have added a bunch of new ones to give new and long-time players some new goals to aim for. There are new ones for amassing huge amounts of cash, as well as for simple stuff like rescuing crew in space. We also didn't forget to add some for squashing those terribly annoying, but oh-so-crunchy, critters on the station screens! :)

Besides those focus areas there is lots more stuff, such as new player outfits (which you can unlock through the story), a new Nebula detector upgrade, further improvements for modding and much, much more. As always here's the full changelist for your perusal:

Features / Gameplay

• Reworked Shipyard screen, with new graphics and info
  
• Added multiple pages for Shipyard screen
  
• Tons of new ships, especially at low and high-end
  
• Special new ships: two Space Bikes, super fast but no protection
  
• Added new player outfits
  
• Added Nebula Radar upgrade, to detect nearby nebula
  
• Added overlay warning message when player is taking lots of damage

• Added slow & powerful Plasma Bomb
  
• Added really fast Birdstrike missiles
  
• Added weapon mods, to change weapon firing behaviour
  
• Added new AI combat behaviour - Skilled enemy pilots now do mini-jumps to evade/attack
  
• Added better ship viewing options on Ship Purchase screen
  
• Added new Adship billboard advertisements
  
• Added lots of new achievements (including some for Bug Squashing :D)

With this update, we're again pushing really hard to spread word about the game. Every Steam review, Retweet, post or mention of the game helps us out immensely, and we're very thankful for it!! We're currently trying to reach 500 reviews, which would push us into the "Overwhelmingly Positive" category. Once we've reached that point, hopefully sales will improve and we will see a lot more interest in the game, thus allowing us to continue work on it and to further expand the 3030 universe. To be clear, we really, really need your help to get there, and would really appreciate you taking the time to write a review of the game. It helps us more than you can imagine and will help make the game that much better!

As with every update, we'd like to thank all our players and supporters! A lot of the changes and additions in this update were only possible because of your amazing feedback, so please keep that coming!

Hey there every...BOO!

Just wanted to wish you a Happy Halloween and let you know that the next update is coming very soon now... :KentWinning:

In the meantime, we are running a 50% discount during Steam's Halloween Sale, to help the game get to the 500 review mark. If there's anyone you think would enjoy 3030 please do let them know, and help us spread the word about it! We also added a fun little bonus weapon for the event, which you can see in action above :D

Hey there Space Cowboys and -girls,

we just wanted to let you know what we're working on currently, and say thank you for all the great reviews coming in recently. It's really fantastic to see new and old players adding their voices and letting others know what's to like about 3030. These reviews are helping other players discover the game, and they also make it possible for us to keep working on the game, adding new content and new features to the 3030 universe.

So in terms of that, what are some of the things we're working on currently you ask? Well, let's see... There is going to be an updated ship buy screen, improved nebula effects, a much cooler nebula map, improved dynamic zoom effects, an improved intro, better turning jet look & placement, a cool new nebula radar (that you can see in the image above) aaand... some new outfits for Falcon! You'll be able to get a bunch of new outfits, and even can take that old hat off your noggin if you so choose.

Besides these, we'll also be further improving Mod support, this time focusing on making missions and custom quests more moddable. We've already seen some cool weapon and ship mods being made, and there are some custom quests in the making. We hope to improve the modding API for these, so it's easier for creators to set up new story lines of their own, thus adding even more depth to the 3030 world.

And finally, we also have a long running project of improving the game's combat, as some players have pointed out that you tend to resort to the same tactics each time. We'll be trying to spice things up a bit and add some variety, but these features are still very much Work In Progress, so we can't give any ETA on that yet.

Also, perhaps you've noticed already: There's a new trailer for the game, this time with a really cool Voice Over. If you want to check it out, it's the first video in the gallery above.

And our last announcement: For this year's Steam Summer Sale, we'll be discounting the game to 50%, our biggest discount yet! Our goal, as we've said before, is to get the game to 500 reviews, and we think offering such a big discount during the year's biggest sale is a good way to get there! So if there's anyone you know who would enjoy a good Space Odyssey, please spread the word!

Thanks again for all your feedback, it's what has motivated all these upcoming features, and an extra Thank You to everyone who has left a review, it's what is making these additional features and updates possible! <3

We'll be in touch again soon about the update! If you're interested in early testing and giving us direct feedback, please come join us on our Discord channel. We are always listening to what you have to say and are always happy to chat :)

Hey guys,

we have an announcement for you today, and although it's no update, we think it's still pretty cool.... But first, we'd like to express a special thank you to everyone who has taken the time to leave a review for 3030. These really mean a lot to us, and have kept us motivated all along our path from Early Access to our latest big update "The Nanotech Conspiracy".

Not only do these reviews push us onward, they also mean a lot to potential new players, who regularly check reviews and make their purchasing decision based off of them. Our big goal since the Modding update is to reach 500 reviews and keep the same rating we have now. This would push us into the "Overwhelmingly Positive" category. Other small Indie devs have said this can have a big impact on how Steam treats the game. It would mean more features, better store placements, more players, and would allow us to continue working on the game. So long story short, if you like the game and have a few minutes to spare, writing a review and helping us get to that magic 500 would really mean a lot to us!

With that out of the way, our announcement today is that we're finally adding Trading Cards to the game! A lot of players have requested these on the forums, and we always said we would get them eventually. Well today, they're finally here :) If you've been playing the game already, you should retroactively be awarded any cards you would have earned, so just check your Steam Inventory to see if you got a staunch and stalwart Kent, or a slinky, stinky Frank :)

On top of this, we are running our biggest Discount yet, at 40% off! So if you've been holding off on the game because of missing Trading Cards, or if you know a friend, colleague or subreddit that would appreciate a solid Space Adventure, go ahead and let them know :D

Hey there everyone,

Guess what... That's right, it's time for another update! Now that the Modding Update has been out for a bit, we thought we'd build on that and improve the modding capabilities a bit further. For this update, we also focused on accessibility and on directly addressing your feedback with a bunch of requested features.

The update is made up of lots of smaller changes that improve the game in different areas. For one, we've added full Mouse-Only game controls, to make the game more accessible to more players. That means you can control the entire game, from beginning to end, using only the mouse. While adding those controls, we noticed how nice it is to move your character on stations using the mouse, so that is now also active in all control modes. Next up, we added a much-requested feature, that will also help players that have trouble with the colors in the upgrade menu: a sortable upgrades list! So you can now sort it by clicking any of the top options price, category, or fitted.

Besides those, we've added the combat scanner showing you your target's equipped weapon. You can use this to make sure you're picking the right fights when going on pirating or bounty hunting sprees ;) There's also a pretty major balancing change: It used to be you could get a turreted ship, equip both guns, and you had effectively twice the firepower of a non-turreted ship. Because this made non-turreted ships unattractive (and also made some fights unfairly short) we've made having both turret and front gun equipped halve the firepower of each. This means you can still play flexibly and have two guns with the disadvantage of less firepower on each, or you can equip just one gun and enjoy the gun's full firepower. In our own testing we've found this improves the feel and fairness of combat by a lot. Now we're very curious to hear your feedback!

There are tons of other changes, like lots of improvements to the modding tools, new markers on the map for mission related stations and planets, a better looking Nebula map, some rebalancing of weapon stats, some improvements to the modding tools and also flying Beetles on the station console screens! There are just too many changes to go into detail on each, so as always here is the full list for your viewing pleasure:

Features / Gameplay

Hey guys,

ooohhh man... we can hardly believe it, but it's finally here! Our huge Modding Update "The Nanobot Conspiracy" has just launched!

With this Update you'll be able to mod aaaall the game's data files. That includes scripting, missions, dialogue, characters, game locations. It also means you can add new ships, weapons and upgrades, translate the text files to another language, or even write personal side-quests and storylines for other players to explore. We've also included Steam Workshop support, through the use of two new included tools.

For one, there's the Mod Manager, which you can easily launch directly from Steam when starting the game. It will help you get started downloading and activating mods safely, and will also make it possible to easily deactivate or delete any mods you don't want anymore. All your original game files are backed up safely and can be restored in the Manager, so you don't have to worry about breaking anything!

The other tool is the new Mod Uploader. For those of you who want to create their own mods, it will help you quickly and easily set up a mod directory and get it submitted to the workshop. Once you've done that, you can hop right into your new mod folder and start editing away! We've also prepared a short tutorial on how to get started with creating your own mods here:
http://gtm.you1.cn/app/464360/discussions/3/1698293703772705421/

Hey there everybody,

it's been a while, how is everyone doing? We have two announcements for you today. One is concerning the game's name and the other is about our big upcoming update.

We've been discussing the game's name for some time now, and although we still like it we've noticed that it doesn't really tell you what sort of game to expect. Lots of players have mentioned that they were expecting something like a simple shooter, and were completely surprised by the massive Space Adventure they found. Because of this, we've decided to add a(nother) subtitle to the current name, which will give new players a little taste of what to expect going in. We went back and forth with lots of ideas, until we found one that we're now very happy with.

And that subtitle is... "A Space Odyssey". Some people might recognize this from somewhere, but it's a name that nicely describes the sort of adventure you're getting yourself into, don't you think? :)

The second announcement is that we're about to release the game's next update, and boy oh boy it's going to be a big one! Lots of players have asked for it, we've talked about it for some time on the forums, and now it's finally here: The Modding Update! With this update, all the game's files will be open to exchange, edit and add to. Instead of the current compiled format, the game is going to load all the data files directly in plain format, so instead of OVL you'll have TXT, PNG and LUA files to play with. After this update, you're going to be able to mod ships, weapons, characters and dialogue, just to name a few.

The update is coming next week, so get your digital pens and text editors prepped and ready. We're super excited about this update and are really looking forward to all the awesome stuff you guys are going to create!

There will be lots of other cool stuff, as well as the usual bug fixes and improvements. As always we'll have a nice juicy changelist for you.

Oh, and we also updated the game's description on the Steam page!
Catch you next week for the modding bonanza!
