People, a moment of your time, please! Let me tell you all about Uncle Chops Rocket Shop, the latest game in the works by Beard Envy, the very same development team who made you guessed it, Filament!

[previewyoutube=FdFTBYEdYr0;full][/previewyoutube]

On an asteroid-bound service station in an unfrequented space lane, Wilbur carves out a paltry living as a mechanic, repairing as many ships as he can to afford the ever-rising rent payments to his tyrannical boss, Uncle Chop. Where most of his customers find meaning in pastimes like worshipping deranged space gods, dropping random crap in a giant black hole, endlessly digging for The Ultimate Treasure or mentally enslaving donut shop workers, Wilbur lives a more humble life, fixing the galaxys ills one broken module at a time.

Wake up, clock in, fix ships, make friends and enemies, pay rent, upgrade your workshop, ponder the futility of your existence, go to bed and then do it all over again the next day. Whats not to like? Join us on Discord and follow us on Twitter to keep updated on the game's development.

Attention all Operatives!

We must announce that due to a minor setback:

[h3]Our game's soundtrack, part of the Marmalade Edition, will not be readily available to listen to upon purchasing at 3pm BST. [/h3]



You will still be able to purchase the Marmalade Edition as normal & will still get access to the amazing Marmalade's Sketchbook immediately & the soundtrack will still appear in your library, however, the music tracks themselves will be slightly delayed until the technical issue is resolved.

[h3]Once the issue is resolved, the soundtrack will activate immediately & you can listen to our sci-fi sounds to your heart's content![/h3]

Please know we are working on fixing this as quickly as possible & will notify you once the problem has been resolved. Apologies for any inconvenience caused.

With less than 24 hours to go until Filament's launch:

We're delighted to announce that:
[h3]
Korean has also been added to Filament!
[/h3]


It will have subtitles & interface with English audio, akin to the existing languages mentioned, ready to use tomorrow!

With thanks again to MapleWhispering.

Don't forget to join us on Discord where we will be having a small ceremony & launch celebration at 2.30pm BST tomorrow!

[h3]Well would you look at that. [/h3]

[h3]As well as the Simplified Chinese, Russian, French & German languages.

All the above languages will have subtitles & interface with English audio.[/h3]
