Destination Ares will be Re-Releasing
Destination Ares Patch Notes — February 25, 2022
Aggregated from Steam, cross-tracked with Battle.net coverage on GamePatchNote.
In 2020, I removed Destination Ares from all stores, including Steam.
A few months ago, I quit my job as a tech lead at a game company to start a new studio. While I'm waiting on admin stuff to go through, I've been touching up Destination Ares.
And so, I'm happy to announce: Destination Ares will be re-releasing this Spring.
This game had burnt me out. I haven't updated it since 2017, shortly after launch. It's both incredibly flawed, and incredibly niche. It never has and never will make me enough money to be worth spending any time on.
However, one of the game's fans reached out privately awhile ago, hoping I'd come back to DA one day. And, like all things that you hurt yourself loving, this game means too much to me to let it die so quietly.
Indeed, over the years I had occasionally come back to it when I felt a burst of inspiration. Much of that work never went anywhere and remains unfinished, but it started a base for the new update you'll see this Spring.
So far, the re-release will include:
- new features!
- in-flight construction
- salvage of systems
- new events!
- hotly requested difficulty options!
- and a minor amount of polish and bugfixing
It's still the same old masochistic and obtuse Destination Ares, and I look forward to giving it back to you.
