Giving another update comment - Sixe's last communication was on 2/09/23. About 3 months before 2024. So give or take 1 Year and now it's March going into April. 1 Year and about 6 months. I'm not running defense for Sixe, but do keep in mind that he's the sole developer of the entire game. He's not on a team at all.
Hello. Minstrel here in 2025. I just want to lay rest some things about this game. It's still very much in development and there's an active community Discord. I tried out the demo on Steam and I absolutely loved it. For $20 (24 if you're feeling generous), it's not a bad game at all. Especially because everything you see is hand drawn and then animated by one person. We're currently waiting on when Six drops Beta Test 5.
Also rumor has it, he unplugs from the ethernet when working on the game. (Good on him, I think we all need to unplug every once in awhile.) Overall the community is very dedicated and very friendly to new folks coming in. The game is cryptic and that's what I love about it. Looking forward to the full release.
Sixe has been absent for about 1 Year and 6 months. His last message was in 2023-2024. Keep in mind, he is the only developer of the game. He's composing the music, art, game mechanics, sound design, and animations. As someone who tried to be an animator, it's fucking TOUGH. I used to compose music, but I stopped. It's not as bad, but it takes a long time.
Hello, as of the 15th of November games without an age rating have been blocked on Steam in Germany, Radio the Universe seems to be one of them. As far as I know Steam has a questionnaire that you can answer which will generate an age rating that would unblock it again. Just for awareness. It seems like it is back! 🙌
Has the developer of this said or released anything at all in the past year? As far as I can tell the last time they posted anything publicly was over a year ago at this point. Is the project dead? Not sure how confident I feel about "pre-ordering" something with so much silence surrounding it. The demo was fantastic, but allowing a game to be open to preorders comes with a necessary level of transparency and accountabilty that I'm just not seeing here.
I remember when this was up, and I'm glad I didn't bother donating. I smelled something fishy back then with the way the guy was handling the rewards and his answers, so I cancelled despite how promising it looked.
I will consider buying it when it comes out, but the time that has passed since this finished on KS is one of the many reasons why I no longer support anything on KS.
Just played the demo, and I'm looking forward to whenever you finish this. I'm getting a real Serial Experiments Lain vibe from it. Well done! Plays perfectly on the steam deck, btw.
I have gotten the older build to run perfectly using the steam deck app Lutris to install Radio the universe under the Wine setting/protocol. After installing, add a shortcut to steam, and play in "game mode". Hope this helps any steam deck peeps! Thank you 6e6e6e!

what discord channel are you referring to?
Should be the normal Discord channel. You'll need to find the Discord to get in, we're all actively chatting. Hint: Steam.
Kickstarter backer here - serious question, have you talked to Sixesixesixe recently? Less concerned about the game than them as a person.

if you think a year of silence is a lot, I kickstarted this game 11 years ago.
I finally got a demo last January.
No way, this game has been in development for so long? That's crazy, hope they get to finish it someday

Mailing list is down, prolly been so for a while.
The demo itself is an absolute gem. Thank you for letting us play the demo, you got a really cool game in the making :)
So this game can be preordered? How long has this been up? And when will it be out?

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE DEMO. It was amazing.
Hi, any timeframes on the game's release? Sorry for the bother.
Just played the demo, and I'm looking forward to whenever you finish this. I'm getting a real Serial Experiments Lain vibe from it. Well done!
Plays perfectly on the steam deck, btw.
Is there a way I can upgrade to get the soundtrack as well?
(NextFest 2023 Demo) Complete Run ->
Will there be Linux support?
Not natively. However it appears to run well through the Proton compatibility feature on Steam.
