And I'm (still) hoping you provide a way to play the updated game without locking it behind a platform that's been a known health hazard for 3 years... As long as it's only on Steam, I've got no reasonable way to buy it.
At the time I wrote that, The only thing it would be accurate to say I was on is a sofa. Right now, depending how you mean the question, a lot of caffeine and some painkillers, or the same sofa as the previous answer.
I just want to be able to buy and play a cool space game. When the only place it's available is a platform which has been confirmed to be triggering seiizures for some users and migraines for others as well as affecting several less severe conditions, and the company responsible for it has refused to fix the known issues for over 3 years, it's worth asking for the devs to release their game elsewhere in addition to the existing option. If I were to buy Cosmoteer on Steam, and attempt to install it, I'd be more likely to end up in hospital before I managed to click the "install" button, and that's not an appropriate level of abuse to give anyone money for, no matter how good the game is.
oh. that's what you mean. sorry i didn't know, i thought you were just hating the platform. maybe contact developers through the email and they'll provide you a copy or something?
The answer from the dev is that "so far" Steam is the only platform the game is planned for release on, and as a solo dev it's understandable that expanding beyond that is potentially difficult and/or time consuming... but it's still something I'll be hoping for!
that would probably be the store because a lot of trailers have flashing lights. I absolutely don't think that's steam's fault and if you have epilepsy the game would not be alright for you to play anyway. Absolutely not steam's problem, from one hypochondriac to another. And again, if you actually DO have epilepsy then the game would probably cause you seizures as in the late game there are a large count of lasers which tends to turn it into more of a rave laser show. Also, what reports? I can't find a single report even mentioning this. Computers causing migraines would likely be because of the continuous exposure. Migraines are not something you end up in the hospital for.
Nope, it's the client itself, and for many affected users, wasn't a problem until the update which caused the issue, and has been an issue ever since in spite of multiple users reporting various demonstrable issues causing it and several problems which don't match up with obvious causes but can be and have been medically verified to be linked to the update to Steam.
And seizures are a common symptom of epilepsy, but not the only one, with flashing lights being only one of several potential photosensitive triggers, there are plenty of people who are fine to play this and other games but not able to safely use Steam.
And just because you know someone whose migraines don't put them in hospital, doesn't mean that's consistently the case for everyone who experiences them. You should do some research before trying to pretend to know the science behind this. I'm not a hypochondriac, I've worked in medicine before, and I know what doctors have confirmed about my situation.
Am i the only one experiencing this bug where the game enters the loading screen but doesnt load and them crashes i tryed reinstaling but it didnt work is anyone else experiencing it or had expirinced it in the past if so how can i fix it. PLs i realy whant to play again the game.
it's a good game I like it a lot only I would like the idea of being able to create small combat ships inside a large ship and that they could go back to the same ship or put some special block to dock the ships and not repair the large ship over and over again so that the small ships fighters I do appear again and leave the other small combat ships flying through space without ammunition or without energy I just hope they come up with the idea or do something similar.
Hi, are you able to get the weapons on top of the ship? is it in that place where the color of the ship changes or places things?,
also the possibility of creating spatial bases like those of the film, where there is a port of ships, where large ships or combat spaceship,that would have turrets where we put on top of the base where it would give us the possibility to shoot in any direction,
Also the possibility of creating small combat spaceships, where 3 or 2,1 would fit these ships would return to installation or to mother ship, when they had no ammunition or damaged, and if the ship is severely damaged, the ship would lose strength and would be attracted by the planet's gravitational pull
the planets would also be able to create facilities or cities, so it would be possible for the player to create an empire or a company,
I've been playing this for hours, this is the kind of space ship game I've been waiting for. This game is seriously awesome, I can't wait for the Steam release! Wonderful job so far.

i think in this case piracy is an entirely ethical solution.

good game but why is it for money on steam while its free on itch io (if u dont donate)
The Itch version is very old. The Steam version has been completely revamped with lots of new features and better graphics.
why not sell the revamped game here on itch? i for one would really rather not contribute to steam's monopoly.
steam has a bigger audience.
That doesn't negate the option of being available here TOO.
makes it more of a hassle to update and it puts more strain on the support team.
Am i the only one experiencing this bug where the game enters the loading screen but doesnt load and them crashes i tryed reinstaling but it didnt work is anyone else experiencing it or had expirinced it in the past if so how can i fix it. PLs i realy whant to play again the game.
i love how you can just build as big as you want if your computer can take it
can you make a mac version
agreed
you'll probably have to see about the modern version of cosmoteer
Is there a zip file?
If your having issues downloading because its too large you can use a download manager
it's a good game I like it a lot only I would like the idea of being able to create small combat ships inside a large ship and that they could go back to the same ship or put some special block to dock the ships and not repair the large ship over and over again so that the small ships fighters I do appear again and leave the other small combat ships flying through space without ammunition or without energy I just hope they come up with the idea or do something similar.
Fightercraft and bays are planned and on the Trello.
Theres mods and little bombs that you can blow up to detach portions (or here, fighters) from the ship
Hi, are you able to get the weapons on top of the ship? is it in that place where the color of the ship changes or places things?,
also the possibility of creating spatial bases like those of the film, where there is a port of ships, where large ships or combat spaceship,that would have turrets where we put on top of the base where it would give us the possibility to shoot in any direction,

A roof-mounted weapon is under consideration.
Fightercraft and bays are planned and on the Trello. Interaction with planets is not planned. Interaction is planned to take place on space-stations.
1: this exists in the modern version on steam.
2: these are planned and exist already somewhat exist as mods.
can i haz a pre install .zip please?
This game is super old
BUT kinda like spore it's still good

I've been playing this for hours, this is the kind of space ship game I've been waiting for. This game is seriously awesome, I can't wait for the Steam release! Wonderful job so far.
