Developed by a small team led by Sean Murray, the game embodies the exploration and optimism of science fiction in the 1970s and 1980s.

Despite the lack of communication and backlash, the team continued to improve the game with major free updates, introducing multiplayer, ground vehicles, base building, space fleet management, cross-platform play, and virtual reality support.

In a major update called the “Foundation Update” in November 2016, players were given new options. They can choose a planet as their “home planet” and use the collected resources to build a base. The base has special stations like research terminals, which are operated by aliens. Players can even teleport back to base from the space station. They can dismantle their base and move to a new home planet at any time. Autonomous ore drills and large starship cargo ships used as space bases have also been added.
