Every independent game developer hopes for a stellar launch, especially for self-published titles. While some games, like the highly anticipated Hollow Knight: Silksong, arrive with immense hype, smaller, more niche titles typically aim for more modest goals. However, Jump Space absolutely shattered all expectations, drawing in a phenomenal 250,000 players during its debut weekend! Now, with the initial launch buzz settling, developer and self-publisher Keepsake Games is ready to reveal exciting details about the upcoming first update for their popular FPS.
Keeping over a quarter-million players happy means carefully considering feedback. This might seem challenging, especially since Jump Space already boasts an impressive “Very Positive” rating on Steam with 88% positive reviews.
Despite the overwhelming praise, Keepsake has diligently noted player suggestions for the upcoming patch. To address these efficiently, the development team has been divided: one segment is dedicated to enhancing stability, while the other focuses on delivering fresh new content.
Optimizing memory usage across both console and PC remains a priority for the developers. They’ve already implemented several changes and are actively experimenting with new strategies to minimize stutters and crashes. Furthermore, the game’s save system has been rigorously refined to prevent progress loss, with these improvements expected in the next hotfix.
Crucially, Keepsake is also committed to implementing clearer in-game error messages for connection problems (a nod to the recent Epic Online Services downtime). They’re enhancing failover systems and, perhaps most excitingly, prioritizing the addition of a dedicated offline mode for Jump Space.
Now that the technical updates are covered – vital for a smooth experience – let’s dive into what exciting new content awaits players!
The first update for Jump Space is packed with fresh additions, including new hangar vendors, expanded sectors to explore, and dynamic sector modifiers to shake up gameplay. Get ready for new melee weapons too, such as crowbars and wrenches. Who needs a fancy lightsaber when you have these trusty tools?
Keepsake anticipates launching this thrilling update within the next couple of weeks. While we can’t share direct purchase or patch note links, fans can typically find such information through official game channels.
