Smooth times in Beta Land
Hey everyone!
We’ve been working really hard to improve the game thanks to the help to our beta testers. Some of the more notable changes have been:
- A save on quit feature
- New aliens and their home sectors
- New items, weapons and ships
Although we are not accepting any more people into the beta, you won’t have to wait long for the game. We hope to keep our updated plan of an Aug/Sept release date. In the meantime, here are some previews and write-ups about a few player’s experiences in the beta so far. Let me know if I missed something.
- An overview with lots of screenshots at Space Game Junkie.
- Impressions at Game Arena.
- Thoughts from a fellow board game lover at Maximum Pixelation.
- A detailed overview at RPG Codex.
- An interview and overview from around the launch at Destructiod.
- An announcement from our freelance writer Tom Jubert’s blog.
I haven’t had time to do another official video since the beta, but if you want to see the game in action check on YouTube. There are a number of Let’s Plays from beta users.
Thanks!
Thanks for the pimpage! Loving the game!

I don’t know how I missed out on backing this game and I’m really sad I’m not part of the beta. At least the game will be out somewhat soonish.

I would really like to see save in the menu and don’t delete my save when I die. Or add a “hard core” version that only saves on exit and deletes the save after you die, but I would like to save my progress and load if I really mess up.
