It's kinda hard to believe that we just released it... but after checking it 8 times I can confirm with certainty; it's truly live! Curiosmos is actually out there in the world and finally everyone can play it on Steam.

I feel like I’ve been holding my breath for weeks and I can finally sigh from relief.

The first public Curiosmos demo - our weird little space game is now yours to poke at. Pull some asteroids into orbit and see what breaks (hopefully not too much :'•)

It’s still a bit rough in places (we’re still working on controller support for example), BUT it’s also full of love, strange little systems, cute planets and silly moments. I hope it will make you feel something ✧

I'm excited to hear what you think!

It comes with a lil' shiny cash prize and a beautiful TROPHY. I'm still not over it.

The WINGS Award is given to games where women or gender-marginalised folks lead the charge. So receiving it for Curiosmos, a game I started building from just a tiny dream and a bunch of determination into a game being made by this awesome team, means the universe to me. ✨

Here’s what they said during the announcement (and yes, I almost cried):

"A sʟᴏᴡ ᴜɴғᴏʟᴅɪɴɢ.

The moment was incredible, I want to high-five the galaxy.

I’m just so thankful... for the team (Robin, Guillaume, Chris, Tom, Titouan, Pepijn), for our community, for everyone who’s played the game and said something kind. For you!!

Buttttt, winning this award doesn’t mean the game is done. It just means the universe is nudging us forward.

We’re still deep in development, sculpting oceans and atmospheres, tuning gravity until it feels right, and giving planets their weird little wishes.

The game is planned to release later this year. (It’s real!! It's happening!!)

And I’ll have more to share soon - including our new Discord, updates from upcoming Steam events, and a whole lot more nonsense from the space corner. 🪐

Thank you for cheering us on, whether loudly or quietly.

Sending you all a lot of love,

~ Slightly overwhelmed but intensely happy Céline
