rhamorim:

It seems the HD patch for Nexus: The Jupiter Incident is now available on GOG.

Yay! Wondering if it’s compatible with existing save games.

Supposedly Shallow Space (space RTS) is coming up in the next Groupees Be Mine bundle.

Brian have you played Space Food Truck? I just discovered last night that it’s out of EA so went back to it after many months. It’s a cute little deck builder that can be pretty challenging.

I own it but have yet to play it, but I can’t wait.

This is live now! $3 freaking dollars, what a deal.

The dev’s posted about a week ago, the game’s price will soon double to $30 on STEAM.

Someone cross post this in the bargain thread, I am too lazy.

Just wanted to mention this excellent post/review by our own Brian Rubin:

Space Game Junkie – 1 Apr 16

Nexus: The Jupiter Incident Review Summary

Here you can read my final thoughts regarding the amazing Nexus: The Jupiter Incident.

I’m really, really liking that format, Brian, and I agree with your findings - Nexus is a fantastic game and it hurts me that it never had a sequel.

Murbella · 2016-04-01T10:24:35.000Z

Yes, it is an amazing game and probably my favorite space game. The graphics still hold up surprisingly well too.

Rod_Humble · 2016-04-01T10:48:46.000Z

Is shallow space pauseable while giving orders? Thanks in advance!

Razgon · 2016-04-01T11:05:24.000Z

Anyone played The Sentient? it looks pretty interesting!

unic · 2016-04-01T11:05:33.000Z

Battlefleet Gothic Armada looks gorgeous… I’m hoping it will turn out to be one of the good GW-licensed games.

So, Starpoint Gemini II is going for 7 bucks on Steam this weekend–I guess at this point the question is less "is it worth the money? " than "is it worth the time one would need to play it vs. everything else? "

BTW Brian, I presume the recent Nexus: TJI videos were with the latest patch installed?

It’s a cool game, if a bit too grindy at times - but for that price, I’d say go for it. Its music is easily worth that amount by itself, and you’ll possibly have quite a bit of fun with it.

If not for X: Rebirth, I’d probably be playing Starpoint Gemini 2 a good bit this month. I just bought the latest DLC, so I plan on going back to it soon enough. I really like it.

Yup.

Thanks for covering for me rhamorim, I’m in Death Valley with VERY inconsistent reception.

Just doing my job as your (self-appointed) sidekick. To space and beyond!

Also, I’m surprised Death Valley has any kind of reception. ;)

I have, and I dig it, but it still needs work.

It’s either non-existant or digital roaming, which is fairly crappy.

Allright, if enough people like this Beyond Dark game, they can click my link and I might get early beta access which sounds good or something https://goo.gl/94RyH8 Also you can sign up for the regular beta this way.

If you do use it, thanks!

tgb123 · 2016-04-04T17:50:01.000Z

Gratuitous Space Battles II is $2 on Steam at the moment. Certainly it’s worth $2, right? Right?

carltonbauheimer · 2016-04-04T19:04:10.000Z

Absolutely. Sweet crap, the game is worth more than $2. If you’re remotely interested in the game pick it up now. $2 is a great deal.

I don’t know how prevalent the issues really are but it seems like a lot of Steam reviews complain about it crashing. Even Brian’s brief review mentions it having technical issues.
