- June 2026 Ultimate Relaunch News - 25 June 2026
Hi everybody! First off here's a new gameplay trailer:Hope everyone is doing great! Let's get right into it!THE PASTWhew, it's been about six months since the last news. I guess while the game is under heavy development a couple of articles a year are in order... Because it was an eventful half a year for the game, for me, and, yeah, the world in general. Madness everywhere! I game devved through a pandemic, and I've lost count of how many wars and catastrophes by now. What's going on with the world? Who knows. It is what it is; we just truck along and thank God we're still alive. Also had some health issues to deal with, but I am fine now.Since things got reorganized last year, we got more done in the past 6-8 months than in the previous 3 years, so that's good. If things didn't slow down so much from 2023 till mid-2025, I would be much closer to the finish line. I doubt I'd be done ev…
- G STRING 2020-2025 RECAP AND NEWS - 18 December 2025
THE PASTIt's been a while since the last article, a long time full of ups and downs. Mostly downs for us, especially the past couple of years. One of the reasons there hasn't been any major news on the Ultimate Edition is because I was caught in the middle of something I didn't bargain for, and it was draining me mentally, financially, and emotionally.I still made progress during this time, but nowhere near as much as I could/should have made under better circumstances. By summer 2025 development slowed almost to a crawl, and the situation has become unbearable. Code words: sidelined, apathy, segregation, indifference, delays, resignations. The Ultimate was about to die. Every other project around it died. Everyone who was productive/supportive left.One by one they jumped ship, and I knew my days were numbered. I also learned many things that made me realize that the project is in troub…

In the future please submit all observations, suggestions and issues on the game's Discord server in the channels with "ultimate" in their name as they will be addressed for the Ultimate Edition relaunch of the game.Thank you and have fun!Hello everyone.Due to recent developments beyond my control I am required to put out yet another update for the first release and so this will be the cup to end all cups. Last few years I found myself on a sinking ship; the situation there drained me financially, mentally and emotionally, it was also killing the game so I had to make a decision... My decision was not to give up and let the game die like all the other games on board. So here we are...The C-Cup was meant to come out years ago but it got delayed. During it's development I decided that the game needs an…

- G-String Lunar New Year Update - 12 February 2021
Hey everyone! Here is a new patch for G-String which includes the following changes: •Previously, loading a saved game would put the player at an incorrect angle. This has been fixed. •FOV cap increased to 120, over the previous limit of 90. Playing with a high FOV may result in minor visual errors at the edge of the screen during cutscenes, which will be resolved for each cutscene in a future patch. •Engine limits increased, which should resolve a variety of spontaneous late game save corruption issues / crashes. •Fixed view clipping while using interactive objects, such as valves, levers, and buttons. •Fixed an issue where the loading screen wouldn't display properly, instead showing a black screen while loading.

- A Cup Update - 21 December 2020
Hey everyone! The G-String A-Cup update is here! It which fixes various bugs, improves various issues encountered by players, and adds additional polish to many of the maps. However, when updating it's very important to keep the following in mind: This update may break your previous game saves upon load. This is due to some of the levels being changed since the last update. The new beta branch is called previous, which will set your game back to the pre-update state, in case you do run into issues. This will be standard with updates moving forward. The full change log is as follows: Fixed many close caption related errors. Navigating the platforming sections is now easier. Polished and upscaled many textures, especially on models. Many new textures added in the Kennedy Spaceport. Added some sound FX. Lab_rat - fixed an areaportal glitch.

- G-String Update Patch for 10/21/20 - 21 October 2020
Hi!I've once again rolled out a new update to resolve issues players were experiencing. Previously, players were facing problems with setting the close caption language used, as it would not update along with their Steam language. To resolve this, I've added a new option under Options->Audio to select your language on the fly, without requiring a Steam or game reboot. Players also reported the text "A.I. Disabled" appearing on their screens and not disappearing for the rest of the session. This text has been removed entirely. Please let me know of any further issues experienced, and I'll continue to make updates to resolve them. Thanks!
- G-String Update Patch for 10/20/20 - 20 October 2020
Hi!I hope you've been enjoying the game. Tonight, I've rolled out a new patch that addresses the following issues: Previously, certain lighting effects would cause performance issues for most players. These effects were broken and have since been removed, resulting in a performance benefit. When zooming, you were previously able to sometimes see the weapon model render in the top left. This is now resolved. We were made aware of a translation error in some Russian text pertaining to the wrong usage of the word "drill" in "this is not a drill". This has been fixed. Previously, a nearly irreproducible bug would occur which would turn all models in the game a shade of white and break certain effects in view. We determined this was due to extra damage effects, and as such they have been removed, resolving the issue. Note: For aspects of this update to take effect, you may need to reset your…

Contact a dev ASAP!As of this update, this issue has been resolved. Certain users were also having problems related to video playback during the intro bootup. This update resolves those issues. If after this patch, you continue to experience the aforementioned issues or find new ones, please let me know so that I can address them as soon as possible. Thanks!
