Demo Version & Name Change
We have just released the demo version for Space Rift! We really hope this will enable more people to try out the game and see if they like the experience before buying.
We’re also working hard on the first big patch, fixing a lot of little issues throughout the game, improving performance, etc. That should be available within a few days.
Additionally, as a result of the feedback we got in our first week of release, we have decided to rename the game to “Space Rift - Episode 1” for reasons better detailed in this thread:

There are more updates on the way!
Stay tuned :)
Space Rift Released!
Thanks to your feedback, we are already working on patches and improvements for the game, and hope that we can include all of your cool ideas into the game!
Please keep the reviews coming, they really help see our game from a different perspective.

Space Rift Release Date
Hello everyone!
We are very excited to announce the release of SPACE RIFT:
AUGUST 2
That's only five days away!
We missed the goal of a July release by just a few days, but considering the delays of certain other Space Game projects around, that's not even half bad ;-)
The full price is going to be set at USD/ EUR 19,99 (GBP 14,99). So make sure to set some money aside during the upcoming VR sale this weekend (We're lucky - we don't have to pay for Space Rift and can buy aaallll the games!)
It's been quite the effort to push this to the finish line but we're so close now!
We really hope you enjoy the game as much as we have during development.
Cheers,
milan
