Massive success! What happens next?
about 5 years ago – Tue, Apr 02, 2019 at 01:59:23 AM


We've arrived at the finish line! This past month has been amazing and your support has been incredibly validating. We have been crafting Space Haven with love for almost three years now, and we are extremely grateful that we get to continue developing it further. You have made it possible, thank you!

Kickstarter charges cards only now! Be sure to log in and check your payment was successful. If not, backers have 7 days to resolve payment issues before they're dropped from the project. If your payment did not go through you should have a mail from Kickstarter with a direct link to correct the issue. 

What happens now?

We will continue developing Space Haven, and give access to the Alpha build to Alpha Crew Member backers and all higher tiers in about two weeks time.

We will aim to have monthly updates here on Kickstarter to keep all of you in the loop as the game progresses!

Alpha Access - When will it start and how will we get access?

Alpha Access will start around mid April, when Kickstarter has given us the final list of backers. Kickstarter needs about 2 weeks after campaign end to sort this out.

Once we have the information we will immediately send out access to the Alpha build to backers who have chosen Alpha Crew Member or higher. We will send instructions via e-mail around mid April, stay tuned!

How do we get to submit our names?

We will send you an e-mail with access to our backer management page where you can fill in all the necessary information for you to claim whatever rewards you are entitled to.

This will take some time. We will contact you via e-mail, stay tuned!

How will we get the game when it is officially released, and our Steam or GoG keys?

We will send you access via the e-mail address, which is linked to your Kickstarter account. We will also post an update here on Kickstarter to look out for them!

Note that Steam and GoG keys will come closer to the official release. We will keep you posted.

Bugbyte store

We have opened our own store for those who missed this Kickstarter campaign. It will feature most of the same rewards seen here in Kickstarter, but the community goals bonus copy will not be included.

You can find the store here: Bugbyte store

Note! No need to purchase the game again if you Backed us on Kickstarter, the store is meant for those who missed our Kickstarter campaign =)

Updates and Communication

Our plan is to have monthly updates on the development progress of Space Haven. All the way to the official release! We will post updates here on Kickstarter and all of our other channels. Be sure to follow your favorite one below:

Final 48 hours! Last push to Victory.
about 5 years ago – Sat, Mar 30, 2019 at 01:12:50 AM


We have arrived at the final 48 hours of the Space Haven Kickstarter campaign. Your support has been incredible and we're looking forward to start the Alpha Access journey together with you mid April. 

When we were kids we used to draw in the sand during school recess imagining we were playing a game. It was one of our favorite things to do. At one point we were acting like we had a game development company, and we tried to sell some custom made levels to our friends. We sold 1 copy!

As fate would have it we did end up being game developers through many twists of life. Though there are only three of us, we complement each other extremely well and by bringing our imaginative minds together Space Haven was born. There's something special about Space Haven, as it has managed to attract some of the best talent we've ever worked with. Our trusted allies in this venture.

We welcome you to our merry group too! Our Community really means the world to us, as we believe Space Haven will be the best game it can be by having your feedback as a guide as we develop the game further.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts! We have 48 hours left, there's still time to get that friend of yours along for this ride. 

Fireworks! $200k funded and Final Stretch goal unlocked!
about 5 years ago – Fri, Mar 29, 2019 at 01:12:32 AM


Amazing! We did it! We need some fireworks! And what's better than some footage from our own home country Finland, where Darude blasts his epic music to some awesome fireworks! Only fitting that it's a Finnish DJ celebrating us reaching the goal together, you are awesome!


Space Haven is 500% funded and we have reached all stretch goals! This Kickstarter has exceeded our wildest dreams. We're so happy to be able to add to the Space Haven experience and enable you to play another faction's journey.

Is there another stretch goal, you might ask? We have decided not to add more stretch goals and instead put all extra funds we receive back into the core features of Space Haven to create a better experience for you, our players.  


So here we are, on the last stretch of our Kickstarter campaign. It has been an exciting ride and we are so thankful you've been here to support us. Cheers to all of you!  

Together we are a ragtag crew of civilians in Space Haven, and it looks like we found Eden! Join the Bugbyte community and let's celebrate these last hours together. 

And now is the LAST CHANCE to share the word of Space Haven and get your friends and other awesome individuals to join our crew:

THANK YOU so much for your support. There's still 72 hours left, enough to create a big bang! We'll use all extra funds to make Space Haven that more special.

Only 4 days left but we can reach the last stretch goal!
about 5 years ago – Wed, Mar 27, 2019 at 07:32:35 PM

The pace has been incredible these last days. Let's keep it up! There's only 4 days left, but we have a real chance at breaking the last stretch goal at $200k!

Let's go on a final attack here before the last days kick in. There's over 5000 of us now, and word of mouth is powerful! Hope you still have some friends left to tell. If not, you have done a great job! We couldn't be more thankful. If you still have some ammo left, below are a few ways to put that word of mouth into action. 

  •  Send a message to your friends on Facebook, Discord or Whatsapp! Heck, send a text message if you're old-school.
  •  Post on Reddit, Imgur or other forum you frequent. 
  •  Retweet this on Twitter.
  •  Share this on Facebook.

While the Kickstarter campaign has been running we've been hard at work improving the game. Part of Deep Characterization is also body language, we took some time to make the characters more dynamic. Characters now have idle animations!


And no longer do characters merely have "magic hands" when eating. =) They chow down on their space food enjoying every bite!


We also improved the weapons kickback animations. Here's Constantine chasing down a pirate lurking on an asteroid. An epic space battle takes place!


We've also been fixing bugs, adding animations, implementing trading and the possibility to find new crew members in hypersleep chambers aboard derelict ships. Our writer created the ship you can see above. Let your imagination flow when building spaceships in Space Haven. 


This was a taste of one of many development updates to come! Our plan is to post development updates once a month all the way until the official release! We will show you what we have been working on and how the game has improved. And if you have chosen the Alpha Crew Member or higher tier you will of course get to play every single update =) 

Now go poke that friend, who still doesn't know about Space Haven!
