For the duration of the Summer Sale, we have decided to discount the game extremely heavily. You can now pick up a copy of Apollo4x for only $1.99 USD!
Keep in mind, this only lasts for the duration of the Summer Sale, so act fast!
Thank you again for you constant support of Apollo4x!
Thanks,

Update 1.2.1 News (Patch Notes + Mac and Linux Bugs)
Hello everyone!
Firstly, we want to apologize for the sparse notes regarding releases lately. We have a big announcement coming soon!
Second, it recently came to our attention that the game was "available" on Mac and Linux. We would like to clarify that this is false. It was an issue in the backend of Steam. The bug has since been patched along with some others.
Please remember to stay tuned for a huge announcement coming up!
Thank you,
The Raccoon
Patch Notes:
Fixed a bug that forced saves to save via XML (unreported)

Fixed 59a1 - Linux + Mac Display Bug

Hello everyone!
Today is a huge milestone in the Apollo4x timeline.
Today we pushed the button to shoot out all the trading cards, badges, emoticons, and backgrounds into the vast universe known to us mortals as "Steam."
We're so happy to see the awesome support you all have been giving us and we hope that we'll continue to see it.
Below, I've linked all the community market pages so you can buy trading cards/backgrounds/emoticons if you don't want to trade for them.
For the past month, we've had outstanding members of the community test the be-jesus out of the new Cloud Saves feature. They searched every nook and cranny to help make the Cloud Saves useable, functional, and available for everyone.
Thanks to the following people for their effort in testing Cloud Saves:
TheRealOG
TomBoisBeLike
Trexismany
Connan
Albatross
A big thanks to all of you for your continued support of Apollo4x!
Thanks again,
Raccoon
More Apollo4x Community News!
Hey to the 4x'ers,
Raccoon here, and today I've got some more news about the Apollo4x community and what we're planning on doing.
Live Q&A The team will be hosting a live Q&A session on July 7th at 5:00 PM EST. So be sure to tune in! You can learn more about it here
Trading Cards You may be asking yourself, "Where did the trading cards go? It's been weeks!" We've also been asking ourselves that, and as it turns out we never submitted them for review! We apologize and would like to remind you that they'll be heading out by the end of the week.
Cloud Saves For the past month, our AWESOME and I mean AWESOME community moderators and dedicated Apollo4x fans have been testing out the Cloud Saves feature, and we're happy to announce that it'll be available to everyone by the end of the week as we tweak a few things.
The DigiEnt and Dog Rescue Charity
I'd like to take a moment to remind everyone about The DigiEnt and Dog Rescue Charity. While not many people may know this, a whole 10% of all profits from the game will go to rescuing sheltered dogs that would be killed without the super cool DigiEnt president Mike Young flying out and moving them to Non-kill shelters. Thanks guys!
That's it from the Apollo4x team for this week!
See you in the community,
The Raccoon
