Little-Known Galaxy news & patch notes

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44716845/5bc87b23310303fa77bdb7b001f97cccf6581e55.png We were so inspired by some of your deck designs that we really wanted to add NEW DISPLAY BLOCKS!! Display blocks match normal blocks with a little extra flair and also let you place mini lamps or your favorite items on top. And since we were working on blocks, we also wanted to give every decoration set a block of it's own. So now no matter which decorative style you choose, you can get creative with these new matching blocks. Another fun changes for this update was a tuning pass at the bulletin missions. We mainly focused on the bulletins that request items and our aim was to make the requests smarter, reduce some of the amounts, award more credits, and clean up a few bad loops. We're pretty happy with this new balance, so we hope the missions feel even more rewarding for your hard work! As usual, there are also a bunch of small notes from controls, prompts, and support related requested from all of you. Check out the complete patch notes below if you like! We're still working over here researching, learning, and working on new things to come! We appreciate you all so much. You matter to us, you matter to this community, and we appreciate you sharing your thoughts and experiences with us. With love, -Carbon & Kay Little-Known Galaxy Wiki Little-Known Galaxy Discord {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44716845/bd22d2c68426d9d55afdd1fcf7fe53ac12166eeb.png

LKG-v1.0.7 - New Display Blocks, Bulletin Mission Tuning, & other support.

Steam Production Build ID: 15464425 Steam Demo Build ID: NA Windows Version Number: 1.0.7 MacOS Version Number: 1.0.7 Improvements

New Blocks!: New block decorations available. One unique piece for each furniture set now. Some crafted in the workbench, and some purchased through 3Dee Bot.

New Display Blocks!: A new decoration type called Display Blocks. These new types of blocks are in the theme of their basic block counterparts, but can display an item on top. Great for table lamps, item displays, outer hull, or more elaborate decoration setups.

Tuning Tables: Reducing the cost values for end tables, coffee tables, and square tables. These changes are to keep in-line with the newly created and cheaper display blocks.

Table Descriptions: Table decorations now say how many items they can display.

Bulletin Board Smarter Item Requests: Adjusted some additional restrictions against the items picked for a bulletin depending on game progress. E.g. Xeno items only requested after that Xeno type has hatched, kitchen recipes after kitchen built, etc.

Bulletin Board Tuning: Added a minimum amount of credits for items that are worth 0.

Bulletin Board Tuning: Increased delivery pay and scales slightly based on amount requested.

Bulletin Board Tuning: Adjusted the amounts of some items requested. Mostly reduced amounts being asked for to make them more achievable in limited time.

Mod Support for Localization: Adding in better support for language selection by giving languages a unique ID, a fallback system to English if another language is selected, and resetting player preferences if the language in the preference is not supported by the base game.

Disable Inventory Hot Bar Scrolling: Added a disable button to the settings rebind menu to allow the mouse scroll wheel to be disabled for inventory hot bar selection. If using trackpad, it is too sensitive and often accidentally selects an unwanted inventory slot and disrupts combat.

Rotate Furniture Prompts/Tips: Added an input hint when using gamepad if a decoration can be rotated or flipped. Also added a control tip in the rebind control tips menu explaining how to rotate furniture for keyboard and mouse users. Bug Fixes

Auto-Stack Fix: Cleaning up auto-stack functions when multiple gamepad buttons or hot keys are pressed at the time of using it.

Amoeba: This microbe should have a wavy line in mini game. Fixed.

Added missing dialogue: Adding missing active dialogue for Fiji's Hatch a Xeno mission.

Input Icon Missing: When switching from mouse to gamepad, if a buildable item was equipped, the R stick icon was missing until refreshed. Fixed.

Spouse Behind Cryogen Tubes: The spouse was incorrectly appearing behind the cryogen tubes when they are also in the captain quarters.

Door Locks: Adding additional logic when quests lock and unlock doors so doors can't get stuck locked when quests are done in an unconventional order.

Calendar Refresh: Checks for a calendar refresh when individual events are added as well as before the menu is opened. Fixes warning with conflicting events for previous month.

Text JSON Pairs: Connecting JSON text for display settings, load/save, and day of the week in game.

Text Adjustments: Grammar and continuity clean-up. (Creeps Zapped achievement, Shinji’s Space Racer in tool tips.)

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44716845/460241ea9d16b94ec9bd13626c20a62ac25dd62c.png This update was all about clearing a stack of small and some tricky bugs we needed to spend a little time on to get polished up. We also had to clean up a few things we missed from our recent updates including rolling out the 24-hour clock format to all dialogues, store hours, and map tooltips. With some of these tricker bugs taking us a little time to reproduce and resolve, we didn't have a ton of time for new features this round. (That is the fun part for us too. :( ) BUT... we did get to add a stats summary page to your tally menu in the Captain's tab to make achievement tracking much easier. The complete patch notes are listed below if interested. Finally, just a reminder that if your feedback note or suggestion has not made it in an update yet, just know we're still actively working on the notes. There are a lot of good ideas on our list from all of you. Thanks again for all the continued support. We are very grateful for all of you! -Carbon & Kay Little-Known Galaxy Wiki Little-Known Galaxy Discord {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44716845/bd22d2c68426d9d55afdd1fcf7fe53ac12166eeb.png

LKG-v1.0.6 - Backlog of Bugs & Summary Stats Tally

Steam Production Build ID: 15039637 Steam Demo Build ID: NA Windows Version Number: 1.0.6 MacOS Version Number: 1.0.6 Improvements

New Summary Stats: Added a new tally category that can be found within Captain > Tally > Summary. This new category will display gameplay stats like missions complete, credits earned, enemies zapped, etc. (NOTE: These stats can be used to check your progress on the Sharp Shooter, Master Blaster, and Freelancer achievements.)

Friendship Card Chances: Adjusted Acquaintance level card rewards for some characters.

Steven's Commentary: Adjusted a mission commentary of Steven's to in fit better on any planet in context.

Spaceboard Selection: The spaceboard click zone area for gamepad has been increased to make it a bit easier to pick up. Bug Fixes

Machine Tally: Fix so that the Workbench Storage Bin is not counted in the tally as a craft-able machine.

24 Hour Clock Cleanup: Now if you choose the 24hr clock option, the stores, tooltips, events, and other in-game dialogues also reflected the 24hr display style as well. Not AM/PM version.

Eating SFX Bug: Sometimes when button pressing very fast the SFX could loop after eating. Fixed.

Spaceboard Bug: Spaceboard could sometimes be tricky to click and pick up when left on the empty vehicle pads. This is fixed now.

Spaceboard Bug: A greyed-out tooltip hand would appear in the previous place your spaceboard was placed, even after moving it to a new location.

Path Placement Bug: Fixed bug that a decorative path could be placed under the Workbench Storage Bin and Refrigerator.

Gamepad Menu Nav: Adjusted button selection when navigating to right from Auto-Stack button.

Settings Text: The Display Resolution menu mistakenly had the label "Language". Fixed.

Menu During Transition: If the Space Pack icon was clicked at just at the wrong time during scene transition, the Space Pack menu could stay open during scene transition. Fixed.

Hotkey Toolbar Bug: Using hotkeys for toolbar slot changing when loading from the main menu could potentially crash game. Fixed.

Mission Rename: “Mysterious Artifact” was a name for two separate missions so changed the later one.

Tally Display Name: Corrected the Tally name displayed in the Machinery category for Xeno Pod Small and Large.

Input Controls: Disabling player input controls when exiting game and going to main menu. If keys where held it caused a Unity error because the inputs are referencing the old input controls as the new ones were being created.

1900: Fixed a gender typo for her.

Data Mismatch: Corrected some renamed files behinds the scenes to make data mining easier.

Grammar: Fixing some grammar mistakes. Thank you for reporting!

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44716845/5ce216ae86f895209f95f0ad9d3784eabfc81ac2.png Now up, a pass at tuning some of the early exploration Grey Planet levels and a few changes to how teleporters appear. We hope with some of these exploration changes the game will feel a little more rewarding for casual play. BUT, you still will have to eat some of your crops or foraged items sometimes to make it to checkpoints. We know... it's so hard to choose which ones!!! Some of the QoL suggestions also made it in this round too, including.... the crew locator is now also available in the missions menu, a wardrobe in the salon to customize your captain after purchases, and recipes in the kitchen have a 'New Recipe' tag to show you which ones you have not prepared yet to make the "Culinary Genius" achievement easier to accomplish. Even more details on the update are list below per Space Alliance guidelines. (Bonus... the demo was updated, too!) Huge thanks to all of you who are working on the wiki, helping new players with questions, and sharing your adventures with us. It means everything! Onward Captain! -Carbon & Kay Little-Known Galaxy Wiki Little-Known Galaxy Discord {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44716845/bd22d2c68426d9d55afdd1fcf7fe53ac12166eeb.png

LKG-v1.0.5 - Early-Game Adjustments, Exploration Tuning, and More.

Steam Production Build ID: 14836442 Steam Demo Build ID: 14837359 Windows Version Number: 1.0.5 MacOS Version Number: 1.0.5 Improvements

Grey Planet Exploration: Adjusted early levels to make finding exploration teleporters a bit easier.

Grey Planet Exploration: Reduced enemy spawn amount in early Grey Planet exploration.

Grey Planet Exploration: Adjusted a few Grey Planet explorations levels to not be as large.

Exploration Teleporters: Adjusted logic for all planet exploration teleporters to increase chances of appearing after threshold has passed and increases as level is explored. This reduces chances of bad luck runs.

Enemy HP: Buzz Creeps reduced hp.

Creep Item Drops: Slight increased chance of item drops from enemies.

Backpack Upgrade: Adjusted cost of initial backpack upgrade.

Salon Wardrobe: Added a Wardrobe to the Salon, for customizing your character on the spot.

Uncooked Recipe: Added "New Recipe" indicator on each recipe that you have not actually cooked yet. This makes the "Culinary Genius" achievement clearer to accomplish.

Crew Location Tracker: Added the crew location tracker next to the crew portrait in the Mission details menu.

Explorers Club: Updated dialogue, and Sprout now gives you some space radishes to take with you when exploring.

Explorers Club: Sprout now gives you reward credits for completing his mission.

Healthy Living Email: Frances's email now gives an additional energy tonic. Bug Fixes

Steven's Exit Door: This doorway trigger was off center. Fixed.

Date Invitations: Reduced store cost of date invitations. (This was actually a bug.)

Saving Icon: Found a way to make saving anim shorter! And fixed a small visual glitch with icon.

Inaccessible Microbes: Found and fixed a specific issue on the Recreation Deck where they would keep occurring previously. Fixed a few other random spots on ship as well.

Grammar: Fixing typos, grammar, and dialogue preferences. Thank you again!

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44716845/1e35d0960a618aa80f42154c86dfa9c4d0ef6f36.png To test out this new update... there has been a lot of computer plug-pulling and save mistreatment going on over here!! But it was all worth it, because we are now able to introduce a new backup and restore system in this update. When everything is going well you won't notice a thing, but behind the scenes we will now be backing up your save at different times in the game. In the rare chance you lose power while your game is saving or loading, one of our backups should be able to restore your save to the previous day or previous start of the play session. It is even CPU approved! The backup system did take a bit of our time, but we couldn't help also adding a few more things too. A much requested auto-stack button in your storage menu to transfer 'like items' from inventory -> storage and vice-versa. Plus a new decoration! A Birthday Calendar you can craft on your workbench. It will display the portrait of anyone with a birthday on the current day and is a shortcut to the calendar. All the changes in the update are listed below. vvv Thanks everyone for the feedback, love, and helping us spread the word about LKG! Happy saving, -Carbon & Kay Little-Known Galaxy Wiki Little-Known Galaxy Discord {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44716845/bd22d2c68426d9d55afdd1fcf7fe53ac12166eeb.png

LKG-v1.0.4 -Auto-Stack, Backup Saving and Restore System, and More.

Steam Production Build ID: 14773335 Steam Demo Build ID: NA Windows Version Number: 1.0.4 MacOS Version Number: 1.0.4 Improvements

Auto-Stack!!!: Yes! Added the auto-stack feature to storage menus. Now you can one-click transfer all similar items to a storage container if they are already there, and vice versa to your Space Pack inventory. (Little arrow icons.)

Birthday Calendar: Added new Birthday Calendar craft-able decoration item to workbench. This decorative wall calendar will display a simple reminder on the day of a crewmember's birthday.

Save/Load Improvements: A more robust save/load system applied, to help reduce likelihood of save corruption occurrences that can happen during sudden external computer crashes or computer loss of power, while saving.

Save/Load Messaging: An errored save file would in some instances prevent the game from progressing past the first loading screen. This has been accounted for now, and will instead, continue to the main menu and show an appropriate error message.

Save File Backups & Restore Option: Each save file will now have two additional backup saves on hand in case any save errors do occur. If a save file has errored, you will have the option to select it in your loading menu and restore it to a backup version. (Save01: Data from previous in-game day.) (Save02: Data from start of game session at launch.)

Feed Repository: Can now hold-click to increase amount of feed to pull from here, instead of only tapping. Bug Fixes

1900 Gifting: 1900 should be neutral about all fertilizers gifted, not just one. Fixed.

Solar Panel SFX: The sfx of solar panel being removed in rare cases could get stuck on. Fixed.

Inaccessible Microbes: Fixed a few microbes from spawning out of reach.

Bulletin Request: Replaced meteorite request from bulletin board with a different item, because which meteorite wasn't clear.

Steven's Stairs: Adjusted stairs to Steven's room, so you cannot trigger the 'locked room text' more than once.

Friendship Level: Fixed issue that friendship level-up reward could appear at the start of an event cine.

Grammar: Fixing typos, grammar, and dialogue preferences. Thank you for helping!

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44716845/0aa6f7542444d27853b3990f36f343cbec02de95.png Yay update day!! After organizing our feedback notes and requests, we were able to add the ability to change the hot bar inventory row by pressing Tab or Right-Trigger on gamepads. For those of you who use rebinding (especially on gamepad), if you have already used this key for another function, you may have to reset your rebinds or assign a key to this new function. We also took a wide pass at the times of machine processing. Most machines have had a time reduction, but some will be more noticeable than others. There are more options to choose between faster machines = faster turnaround or slower machines = less daily maintenance. The choice is up to you. Any loaded saves with machines in-progress will be stuck on the old timers until a new item(s) is added to the machine. On the tuning front, we also adjusted some machine crafting recipes, drop rates, and other things so it's easier to make more machines and reduce some of the pinch points some people mentioned. There are also tons of little changes too, like adding the ability to set your clock to a 24-hour or 12-hour format, dialogue updates, and bug fixes. The patch notes list contains all the changes so don't forget to check it out. The Little Known Galaxy Wiki is also getting more complete every day and has been a great source of info for new players. If you want to help, feel free to jump in and join the team on Discord! Thanks everyone, oh... and we had so much fun looking through the screenshots and artwork tabs here on Steam. We absolutely love seeing all your creativity so thank you for inspiring us!! With love, -Carbon & Kay {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44716845/bd22d2c68426d9d55afdd1fcf7fe53ac12166eeb.png

LKG-v1.0.3 - Inventory Row Switching, Machine Times Reduced = More Profits, 24-hour Clock, & More!

Steam Production Build ID: 14670068 Steam Demo Build ID: NA Windows Version Number: 1.0.3 MacOS Version Number: 1.0.3 Improvements

NEW Inventory Row Selection: Tab (or RT for controller) will now cycle through rows of your inventory. (Most requested feature!) The Control Tips helper menu has been updated with this hotkey tip as well.

Rebind Ability for Row Selection: Also hooked up the new inventory hot bar controller with a rebinding option. If you have already rebinded controls, and had RT or tab used, you may need to reset your controls and rebind them again for this new functionality.

BIG Machine Tuning Pass: Reduced machine processing times, required crafting resources, and updated values/produced item values. Specifically for Fiber Spinner, Carbon Converter, Outer Hull Planter, Outer Hull Tree Planter, and Meteorite Extractor. (NOTE: If you load a save that already had an item processing in a machine, you will still see the old processing time. You will see the faster times on the NEXT item inserted, and from then on.)

EVEN MORE Machine Processing Time Reductions: A smaller reduction of time across all other processing machines so that they process faster, and are easier to pick up on day-to-day routines.

24 Hour Clock: A settings option is now available to change the clock to 24hr display instead of 12hr.

Restoration Ray SFX: Adjusted volumes.

Soil Sample: Added to hidden store.

Plant Decorations: Adjusted number of resources needed to craft. Less soil samples.

Lin Mission Help: Lin gives you Carbon Nanotubes to help get you started in that later mission.

Cactus Fruit: Increased drop rate from Thorny Creep

Pirate Hook: Increased drop rate from Spinner Creep

Electro Plasma: Increased drop rate from Drone Creep, and added as drop from Meteorites. Bug Fixes

Microbe Rewards: Microbe bulletin rewards could be reclaimed multiple times, if the save file was copied. Fixed.

Furniture Duplication: Fixed bug that would in rare engagement situation, allow multiple decorations to be placed with one item selected.

Lauren Proposal: Fixed bug where Lauren did not respond correctly after marriage proposal in a certain situation.

Achievement Icons: Corrected the colors of the relic pieces on achievements, in game and Steam published.

Fixed Hats: A few hats had some pixel cleanup to fit better.

Floor Light: One of the decoration floor lights would hide under the floor tiles instead of on top. Fixed.

Window Decoration Text: Window descriptions adjusted to be more accurate.

Microbes Out of Reach: Fixed a few spots where microbes were detected out of player range. (Salon, Classroom, Recreation Deck, Construction Zones on Upgraded Buildings)

Item Spawn: Fixed an Iceladus level where enemy spawned items could potentially fall down off screen.

Grammar: Fixing typos, grammar, and dialogue preferences. Thank you for helping!

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44716845/c7563ed7a11219f6856c87e76af7e3447bc692ae.png Another week has flown by... And another update is ready! After talking with many of you, we knew we wanted to address the challenge of the microbe mini-game sooner than later. We want everyone to be able to enjoy the game, so in this update you will find an option in your settings menu to adjust the mini-game to your preference. The game now has 3 options:

• Standard: The original game with the original speeds for those of you who are enjoying the challenge.
• Reduced Speeds: A modified version of the game with the timing game slowed down and capped out at a moderate speed for the most difficult microbes. We also removed the variation in speed between pulses to make it a little more predictable.
• Off: Timing games just not your thing? We understand, so now you can just turn off the timing portion of the mini-game. You still have to scan and hunt for the microbes, but now you can just enjoy collecting them.

In addition to the mini-game options, we were able to reproduce and fix a few tricky bugs with all of your help so thanks for reporting them to us in Discord. You can see the full patch notes list below. As we roll out these updates if your ideas didn't make it in, it doesn't mean we are not still considering it or planning something for a future update. We just have to tackle a few things at a time. <3 For any demo users still trying out the game, we have also just updated the demo. It includes all the speed and tuning adjustments from the launch version, the 1.0.1 update, and this 1.0.2 update. And last but not least, a fan-created wiki is now in the works! We have a couple of amazing Discord users who are making great progress on it and we couldn't be more excited. If you have any interest in contributing, just join our Discord to get started and coordinate with the team. Whew, I think that's everything. It's been a wild couple of weeks for us and we thank you all for your support and sharing your love of the game with us. It means so much! :) With love, -Carbon & Kay {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44716845/bd22d2c68426d9d55afdd1fcf7fe53ac12166eeb.png

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44716845/9aeba20c0a0ed04886c980e327af9bf39c12c3ff.png Hi Everyone, The first update has landed! We wanted to roll out some tuning notes, bug fixes, and a few QoL things we've seen requested a few times. We hide spoilers when necessary, but heads up, there still might be a few from time to time we miss. Our next goal will be to update the demo with all of the changes as well. Also, no pressure, but if you haven't left a Steam review yet, we'd love it if you'd consider it. It can be short and simple. The more reviews we get, the more visibility we get on Steam and that helps us grow. Thanks everyone for all of the support, encouragement, and fun chats. We really love hearing about your adventures and can't wait to hear more. It has been a blast meeting so many of you already. <3 Hope you enjoy! -Carbon & Kay

Overflow Pickups: If an item is getting picked up at the same time as items getting sucked up and the sucked up items take the last inventory slot, the picked-up item will go into the overflow sequence for resolution instead of getting lost.

Sliding Door Hidden: The automatic sliding door on the Captain's Deck could be seen through the wall if a window was placed below it. Fixed and hidden now.

Thanks to all of you, our supporters. Thanks to all of our Discord crew, who have provided us with countless hours of fun comments, fan art, and positivity. Thank you to Dale North, our brilliant music composer who made the LKG soundtrack really shine. And a HUGE thank you to our little beta tester family. You know who you are, and we couldn’t have done it without you. We are looking forward to sharing this game. It’s been a dream of ours for a very long time and the day is almost here. We are so excited to follow along and share in your first time exploration of Little-Known Galaxy! Until tomorrow… Carbon & Kay

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44716845/3bc040835d366e10d1875cae8c9301a58e38968a.png The countdown continues! We’re almost there, only 3 days left until Little-Known Galaxy is ready for take-off. The build is up and we’re still spending as much time as we can doing some final playtesting… but we just can’t wait! With love, -Carbon & Kay Join our Discord community too if you want. We’re all going to be celebrating together on the 20th @ 10AM PDT.

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44716845/3b365c88a58e16c221d9226f3c2b274d5d4d42ee.png To say we're excited would be an understatement! Only 7 days left so we wanted to just share some of the happenings on our end. Since our launch announcement, Carbon and I have spent every spare minute playing through the game again. Looking for last minute bugs, typos, and tweaking a few tuning numbers one more time. Everything is feeling great, so we checked in a slew of these small changes for our press build. Then we spent a large majority of last week emailing gaming news sites and trying to extend our marketing reach to new audiences. We sure hope they are enjoying the preview of the game, but we probably won't find out until launch week. 🤞 I also just wanted to mention if you missed it, that the game has full controller support and is fully STEAM DECK COMPATIBLE. We don't have control over when we might get official Steam Deck verification, but rest assured it works great! Our goal for this last week is to continue playing, continue outreach, and continue supporting all of you and answering any last minute questions. It's final countdown time and don't forget to wishlist if you haven't already! With love, Carbon & Kay

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44716845/3dd9667a928f26b05724836bc96d998cb4045b38.png That’s right. We’re in the final stages of our beta testing and are content locking today. We will only be fixing bugs and perhaps correcting a few typos for the next few weeks. Carbon and I will spend most of our time playtesting ourselves and making sure the game is as bug-free as we can make it for you. We also cut together a fun quick announcement trailer to share in our excitement! YouTube Teaser! Here are some things you might want to know as we gear up for launch…

• Are you still going to update the game and add new content? It definitely is our priority to support the game post release as long as possible. We will not be making major changes to the game before launch to avoid introducing bugs that might ruin the experience. New content updates might be a little slower, as we will need more time to playtest before releasing them to larger audiences.
• Are you going to support other platforms or languages? Perhaps, if we reach a certain level of interest and can acquire some funding to do these things. We have not ruled out anything yet.
• Will my demo save work with the full released game? Yes! Continue your journey or start again. Whatever you prefer!
• Other things we wanted to mention… The game is fully Steam Deck and controller compatible. We do not have control over official Steam Deck Verification, but we want to get the word out as much as possible that it was 100% designed to be used on Steam Deck too.

Thanks everyone for supporting Little-Known Galaxy so far! Carbon and I are beyond excited to share the game with you in May! 🩷 With love, Carbon & Kay Join us on Discord!

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44716845/eeb83fd67cd5e2e23bff73aac3ed3b4780ca8264.png It's hard to believe it has already been a month since our last update, but we have not slowed down! Last month we added in even more of the most requested features and updates while continuing to fix bugs, fine tune the game economy, and have some fun of course. We are listening to all of your feedback, so even if your notes didn't make this round of updates, we are still actively working to incorporate as much as we can before launch. Now to the good stuff... here are some of the new updates making their way through beta testing now!

• Crew Locator - Now you can see the deck where any crew is located. (Thanks to all of you!)
• New Skin and Eye Colors - The consensus was -> more alien skin & eye colors.
• Grass Piercing - In later planets, grass can now be pierced with an upgraded Laser Blaster charge.
• Renaming - Ship, Xeno, and even your Captain names can now be renamed in case you want to switch things up.
• More Keyboard Controls and Inverted Scrolling - Expanded controls/options for every preference.
• Tons of small adjustments:
  • More polished customization menu.
  • Store opening times on map.
  • Prevent important cine skipping.
  • Smarter logic for first event.
  • New decoration items.
  • Better planet object render sorting.
  • Smarter eating logic.
  • Tuned missions.
  • Tuned enemies.
  • Tuned restoration ray.
  • Polishing dialogues and story continuity.
  • Bug fixes.

And there is even more on the way! Just to note, we have not updated our demo quite yet. It takes a little time away from development to polish and push out a stable demo. Our plan is to update the demo closer to the end of April in case you want to see some of these new improvements for yourself. Thanks again to all of you, we have an awesome community supporting us. We really appreciate every one of you. Come say hi on Discord too if you want to stay even more connected. <3 -Kay

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44716845/b38f053767b2e07d773bbc03db7828b69200c0e8.png Demo notes underway! Hey all. We have been super busy. Steam Next Fest went great. The response was overwhelmingly amazing, and you have all blown us away with your support! Carbon and I have been collecting feedback, suggestions, and comments from all of you and have been putting things into action since then. While we certainly have more we want to polish and update, here are some of the more fun highlights we've gotten to so far...

• Speed Boost - Player run speed has increased.
• Spaceboard! - Added the ability to ride your own hovering spaceboard because we know one run speed boost is just not enough! Much faster movement speed around the ship if you get this upgrade later in the game.
• Workbench Storage Bin - A specific Workbench Storage Bin has been added and attached to the workbench. This smart bin is designed to automatically use the items held within when crafting from the workbench. The refrigerator also works this way in the kitchen now too.
• New Hair - Added a few new hair options to the start of the game.
• Post Release System - Set up system to unlock post release content better when specific story moments have already passed. This really helps to future proof save files after new content is added later.
• SFX levels, adjustments, and fixing our grammar

Now, these are NOT IN THE DEMO yet. They will be tested out in the beta game version first, but we just really wanted to share. All of your thoughts, ideas, and encouragement is actively making the game better. Thank you all so very much! More to come soon! -Kay

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44716845/1948321494219e18cf2a8ec1f703d27734e67dfc.png Another developer update! Another big patch! The two of us took advantage of the holiday by expanding some of our features and packing in quality of life improvements requested by beta-players. The one we are probably the most excited about is our decorations expansion. Now you will have the ability to... PUT STUFF ON TABLES! It is a small detail that actually adds a ton of fun to the game. Being able to add about 500+ items/decorations on top of your tables adds SO much creativity to your play spaces. Here are some other highlights from our beta updates... • NEW ability to display your items & decorations on table tops now! • NEW table lamp decorations items. • NEW Auto-Feeder upgrade option for Xeno Pods, to help raise even more Xeno pets. • NEW food items added that can be processed from your machines. • Improved method to pick up your crops. • Improved combat mechanics. (Pausing enemies when needed.) • Improved advanced versions of machines to be even more useful now. • Improved tool stats for Laser Blaster, Shovel, and Microbe Detector. • Lots of small tuning adjustments in loot drops and prices to make things feel even better. • Improved tuning for gift giving benefits with your crewmates. • Bug fixes, dialogue fixes, and many, many smaller details of course... We are excited to share all of these improvements, which will be coming your way soon in the upcoming demo. Please join us on Discord for more detailed and frequent updates. Also please consider wishlisting if you have not. Thanks everyone, have a great weekend! -Kay

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44716845/14c00e78af666e745b5272494a730df12afab54c.png Hi everyone, Big news for those waiting to get their hands on Little-Known Galaxy. We are officially working on a LKG Demo!! It will be a slice from the very beginning of the game that lets you experience exactly what it will be like to start out as a new Space Alliance Captain. You'll get to dive into the story, meet your crew, wander around your ship, explore the Grey Planet, craft, farm, engage in combat, decorate, and everything else in the full game for those first few weeks on the Grey Planet. The game speaks for itself, so getting the game to all of you is a dream for us. We are so excited to share! Of course, the demo will only be able to feature some of the gameplay experiences. That's just the nature of RPGs. 🫠 The full game is not short, and couldn't possibly all fit into one demo experience. It's an epic adventure with a lot of planets to visit, characters to meet, and many, many features to unlock as you play. Kay and I will keep you updated with an exact Little-Known Galaxy Demo release time as we progress. Thank you for you support. We couldn't do it without you! And please wishlist us here or follow us on Discord too if you haven't already. -With love, Carbon

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44716845/4fb8a3a472dd7d0221320b4d8826b40a4611b135.png Developer update here! We have been super busy since our last one. Carbon and I have put out seven game improving patches in total so far, based on our beta-tester feedback. Some bug fixes, some polish, and a ton of extra quality-of-life suggestions. Those quality-of-life improvements are particularly fun since they just make the game better and more intuitive for all future players. Here are just a few examples… • Enemy behavior polish to make laser blasting creeps more fun. • Extra inventory controls for more flexibility in how you want to interact with your items. • Extra hints for keeping track of planet resources in the Space Navigation Map. • Tuning numbers to balance all the machines, recipes, energy, and items to feel more fun. • Some special room decorations added by request. • Longer in-game days, so you have more time to do more stuff and take your time. • Typo fixes. There is a ton of dialogue to comb through and now it is much more cleaned up. • Even better Steam Deck support with a few extra nice Steam Deck specific touches. • Extra code side fixes to make things more robust and safer for any future improvements as well. The overall feedback from beta-players, especially ones that have completed the story, is just amazing. It makes us soooo happy that the game is making them happy! It is incredibly fun to watch new players experience this cozy goofy story for the very first time. We are still trying to spread the word about Little-Known Galaxy, so if you want to help us share the game we'd be thrilled! Please wishlist if you haven’t already, and join us on Discord for more detailed and frequent updates. We’d love to chat with you too. Thank you endlessly for the support! You all make it more fun for us! Back to it! :) Kay

Kay and I have been so overwhelmed with the positive response since we launched our Steam page a few weeks ago. We had quite a few volunteers take us up on our beta testing offer on Discord and have been working with them to fine tune the game and squash any bugs we missed. The response as been very positive and we’re working hard to add in all the quality-of-life suggestions made by our testers. We also have been busy reaching out to the community to spread the word about the game. Wholesome Games just shared our trailer on their platforms so we are very honored to be a part of their community. Our wishlists are growing slowly so if you want to support the game, help us spread the word to your friends or on your social media platforms. We can’t do it alone!
