After months of improvements in Early Access, our cooperative card adventure Space Food Truck is finally ready for a real release date: March 25. This new-and-improved launch trailer shows off some of the progress we've made, though it really doesn't do justice to all the stuff we changed. Just scroll down the last few weeks of blog posts and look at those lists. Lists on lists on lists of fixes and improvements.
We didn't know what to expect when we started our first Early Access, but we really couldn't have have gotten the game to this level of polish without you guys. Your feedback and game data (if you volunteered it) helped guide our decision-making as we tweaked the characters' jobs, balanced the item decks, added new difficulties, and tightened up our user interactions. Thanks for jumping aboard early and pitching in!
If you haven't picked up a copy of Space Food Truck Early Access (which will update to the full version of the game), you might want to sign up for our mailing list. We're giving away free copies of SFT on release day to 25 lucky subscribers!

The Release Candidate
In today's possibly-very-special update to Space Food Truck, we have for you what is called a "release candidate". That means if nothing major is broken, this will be the official 1.0 version of the game!
There are still tons of features and even new gametypes we'd like to try out if things go well after launch, but what we have at the moment is a great representation of what we originally set out to make: a goofy, sometimes brutal, sometimes hilarious space romp for you and some friends.
So definitely install this version, take it for a spin, and let us know what's working or not working for you! Email your feedback to bugs at spacefoodtruck.com, or start up a discussion on our Steam board. We've come a long way thanks to your willingness to play our work-in-progress, so thank you all for helping us get SFT where it is today.
Per usual, we'll be streaming our playtest of today's build on Twitch at 2:30pm EST, so stop in and say hi or ask a question. Here's the big list of changes in today's build:

Adam & Alex vs. Thai Hot, Take 3
Space Food Truck continues to be polished and purged of bugs this week. There was even some discussion of possible March release dates today! That announcement is coming soon.
You can check our Twitch stream from earlier today below, where Alex and I gave away a free copy of Space Food Truck every time our ship took HP damage. Was today the day we finally conquered Thai Hot on camera? And if not, was it totally Alex's fault? You'll have to watch to find out!

Hot Fix (0.9.198) - Removed Burnilizer from Captain's Starter Deck
Oops! Had this slip by in our build yesterday. All fixed now. Have a great weekend!
Check out the Space Food Truck playtest stream!
Looking at the list of changes for today's update to Space Food Truck, I think Alex must've been on a week-long Monster binge. Our terrifying alien is animated, and lots of long-awaited tweaks have been tweaked as we continue our march toward a final version next month (Pun intended! Next month is March).
We livestreamed a playtest of this build today on our Twitch channel, and you can check out the rerun on our YouTube if you're curious.
Gameplay wise the biggest change this week is that the resupply deck doesn't run out late game. It was a slightly slower week regarding bug fixes and gameplay balance/improvements as we shifted focus to polish up some artwork, animations, and audio. SFT is still in Early Access, and we intend to start wrapping things up in the next several weeks to get ready for 1.0 launch. So if you've got bugs, suggestions, or feedback don't hesitate to leave a comment, tweet at us, post on SFT forums, or send it directly to bugs at spacefoodtruck dot com.

Weekly SFT Twitch Dev Live Stream Tomorrow!
This Friday, February 12th, at 2:30pm EST, tune into our twitch channel to see us do another "Thai Hot" run of Space Food Truck with the latest gameplay changes and improvements! Come say hi or yell at us for making irresponsible plays as our ship falls apart on us.
Happy New Moon Year
Now through February 12th, Space Food Truck is 10% off for Steam's Lunar New Year sale! We're both very happy for the moon, and we wish it lots of luck with its resolutions.
In case you missed yesterday's stream, you can watch Alex and I take on Space Food Truck's Thai Hot difficulty over on the OML YouTube channel. We're planning to stream another playtest next Friday at 2pm Central, so check it out live on Twitch if you want to ask questions, or catch the rerun afterward on YouTube.
In our weekly SFT update we've restored 1 Power to the Last Resort card in the ZapMart (based on player reaction) and we've finally added multiple customer reviews to the ending. I've been waiting so long to see those in-game! Thanks to everyone for their feedback so far. If you have anything to add, send a message over to bugs at spacefoodtruck.com.
