Shallow Space

Shallow Space has been in Early Access since October 21, 2015 and has never reached a full 1.0 release. The game went through multiple attempted reboots (internally called 1.0, 2.0, and 3.0), with the developer returning in mid-2020 to try to resurrect the project after a long hiatus. Progress updates were posted in February and April 2021, describing ambitious plans for a reworked "3.0" version of the game. However, on September 18, 2021, the developer posted an official cancellation announcement, stating that without funding, without the full asset set needed, and with the team experiencing burnout and disagreement over direction, they simply could not finish the game. They explicitly wrote: "we simply don't have what it takes to finish this financially or mentally." There have been no developer communications of any kind since that September 2021 post. The game remains listed on Steam in its unfinished Early Access state, but by the developer's own admission, active development has ended and the game will not be completed.
