Yup, I’ve bought a few games from 'em, including Hardwar, no problems.

Rod_Humble · 2016-03-07T13:02:23.000Z

Ayup. Cheers!

BrianRubin · 2016-03-07T13:04:31.000Z

Yay, have fun! I know I am!

I am so giddy about this.

Ugh … Early Access … I’ll wait.

As long as PSE is like a much better version of The Viceroy, I’ll be set.

As much as I liked The Viceroy, it’s definitely in that direction, yes.

This looks so up my alley. Unfortunately I’ll be out of the country and not back until the 22nd.

BrianRubin · 2016-03-07T15:44:52.000Z

It’s early access, so it’ll be stewing in the oven for a bit.

Brian, have you checked out The Next World yet? The guy behind Frontiers plugged it in his latest Kickstarter update, and I do like the hard sci-fi angle. The art’s really retro, but it sounds intriguing.

But I need the Brian Rubin seal of approval. So?

Hello my friends, and welcome to another week of polite promotion! This week I’ve got a couple of series for you, starting with 1997’s Pax Imperia: Eminent Domain and then coming to the present with StarDrive 2: Sector Zero.

On Tuesday’s Podcast at 5:30 PM Pacific, we’ll sit down with the developer of Stellar Tactics to talk about this upcoming space tactical RPG thing.

On Thursday at 5:30 PM Pacific, we’ll return to our old favorite, X-Wing vs. TIE Fighter for some multiplayer madness, and we still have open slots for it if anyone wants in. ;)

I’m also still taking applications for our weekly rotating multiplayer crew. If you’re interested please message me. :)

Thank you!!!

Hey, I saw “visual novel” and shut it right down.

Spect · 2016-03-14T19:25:07.000Z

Has anyone else tried Astrox Hostile Space Excavation yet?

It’s like a single player EVE mining Sim without all the ganking and PVP. I’ve been enjoying it for a few hours this evening so far.

BrianRubin · 2016-03-14T19:41:05.000Z

Yup, sure have! Delightful game.

RichVR · 2016-03-15T08:08:54.000Z

Finally getting into Reassembly. At first I was all, “What the hell is going on here?” But I really like it now. Thanks for the recommendation, Brian.

BrianRubin · 2016-03-15T08:10:27.000Z

Yaaaaayyyyy, you’re most welcome! :)

Daedalic announced a new space game today, called The Long Journey Home.

The trailer is fantastic, by the way. Especially the music.

They mention Star Control 2 and Starflight as inspirations, BTW. Along with Farscape and Firefly.

Rock8man · 2016-03-16T13:18:59.000Z

I’ll have to check out that trailer when I get home from work.

Speaking of Star Control 2, as I said in the Galak-Z thread, that game is the most fun I’ve had in a 2D space shooter since Star Control 2’s Super-melee mode. You guys should definitely put it on your wishlists for next time it’s on sale. Such a great game.

WELL THAT LOOKS DELISH. FILL UP MY PLATE WITH IT, GARSON.

RichVR · 2016-03-16T13:44:32.000Z

Very pretty. It looks good.
