Space Sandbox Game Drifter Sees Major Update

Open-world sandbox space trading game Drifter has seen a major release lately, bringing more content and polish to the game. Additions include the first implementation of space station interiors, five new ships and many UI improvements.

Drifter has been in development for several years now and has seen several large patches shake up the game significantly. The game is being developed with a "when it's ready" mentality and, as of this last patch, the developer has stated his intent to deliver more frequent patches every couple of weeks. The current target window for the game to exit early access is by the end of 2015. Despite all that needs to be done before the game is fully ready, the mostly positive steam reviews seem to indicate that it's in a highly playable state.
