Space Sims/Strategy Games Catch-All

Friends, a group of developers on my Discord have put together an absolutely CRACKLING bundle of space games that you all must check out.

I was weak...I bought it...it is awesome. I'm guessing more content now since the newest content drop that happened recently?

Yeah they only have maybe 1/5 of the main story content in there right now, and even less of the side/open world stuff. It's apparently gonna be pretty big.

Every open-world game they have done has set out to be bigger, better and more realistic than the last. That's held through every single one of their releases of this type, and I'm sure Todd Howard has not given up on that.

I actually interviewed the Elder Scrolls team for GameBytes on the day Todd arrived and was having his first real work discussions with the team members. I remember that clearly.

That's cool.

Was it the voice? It was the voice, wasn't it? Everyone remembers the voice.

It will take Bethesda a few patches and some DLC to get up to that point.

Star Renegades anybody? Or should I ask in the roguelike thread?

Just read a good review last night about the Switch version, although it has some performance issues. So maybe Steam would be better. Some comparisons to Into the Breach, sounds like it could be fun.

Star Renegades is fantastic.

Just bringing this back up from December. Looks like the Switch version is still rough from reddit posts and patches. But the Steam version is cheap in the summer sale, at $15. Looks like lowest price ever is only $14.50 or something. So maybe it's time to look at this one again.

Looks like 3 free DLC have been added in Nov, Dec, and Feb, so that's some nice support.

Star Renegades has a pretty detailed roadmap. I’ve been holding off until all the content has been released. It’s also on Gamepass.

Subverse (NSFW?) came up in my Steam discovery queue today.

Veloxi... going to need a report on this one buddy. Take one for the team.

Nope, not touching that with someone else's ten-foot pole with their dick stuck on the end of it.

But it's... IN SPAAACE!

Friends, Space Game Junkie is turning ten next month, and to celebrate I'm hosting a game jam for devs to make fun space games that I'll stream on the day of. If you know any devs that might want to participate, please direct them here, and thank you.

Congrats Veloxi

Thank you!

Ordered the paperback, will never be enough Starflight in this world.

Everspace 2 is on GoG sale again. Guess it's still early access but worth it?

Any full release date estimate?

Full release is next year. Current version has a bunch of hours of content but they're adding more every so often. I backed its Kickstarter and felt even the early version was worth toying around in to see how awesome this will be when it's done.

Looks like Everspace 1 and/or DLC is on sale on Steam too, to match GoG price. But not E2.

Guys, Trevor found a vintage commercial for Star Fleet II from 1989, and it's great.

Star Fleet II had flippin commercial?!?

Veloxi, when is that game going to be available? I keep throwing money at my screen, but it's not unlocking.

We've had to sadly delay to likely October. Work still needs to be done on the game, but especially the documentation. The main battle manual needs to be revised as well as the training manual.

We should be able to pull it off (we're close to finishing 1.8 now, 1.9 will likely focus more on final big fixes and few new features so it'll hopefully go more quickly than previous versions), but it is coming along.
