Launching on the 8th, now, rather than the 5th. Also, please note that the first-person view will be an OPTION, and third-person view will still be supported. It’s been pretty clear that a lot of people like the third-person view, so there’s no way around keeping it. Personally I really love the first-person feeling, but…
Woohoo! Finally some real footage of the game with actual robots in place. Things are proceeding really well, although slightly slower than I’d like. That said, it’s really polishing up very well. We’re currently aiming for an early access launch near the start of July. Here’s some random information you might like: This trailer only…
Not only is the steam store page for the game now live, but we also have our first actual trailer-style video! Happy day. 🙂 Here’s some fun/interesting facts about the trailer: The music is by our own Pablo Vega, with lead vocals by his wife Hunter Vega. That’s not the whole title track for the…
Oi, Raptor! Been four business days since we saw you — what’s new? The short list of new stuff shown in this video: Improved post-processing visual effects. Improved raptor skin. Completely re-rigged and freshly animated raptor. A couple of glitches there, though, most notably in the walk animation. Completely new sound system based on SECTR…

Did you know? We’re making a velociraptor game! Our first 3D game, in fact. The first of many. In a nutshell: you get to be a velociraptor, fight robots, and navigate procedural levels. I’ve been stalling on releasing videos or screenshots for weeks now, and I explained in lots of detail recently what was going…
Whew! Sorry that this took so long, folks. But Starward Rogue now has a DRM-free version for sale! (Note: for all you Humble Store customers, the DRM-free build will be uploaded to your accounts shortly) We’re using this as an excuse to run our highest discount yet on the game: 30%!

Well @#$#@%$. The TLDR is that almost all the Arcen staff are going to lose their jobs, effective Monday. The Good Starward Rogue is out now, and it’s getting glowing steam reviews (76, all positive, as of this writing) as well as a lot of positive youtube and twitch coverage. Mostly from smaller channels with…
Update: The Bionic Dues free gift promotion has now ended — though our whole library will continue to carry major discounts on Humble store through this week.

Starward Rogue is a passion project designed not just by myself, but by a team of other hardcore fans of this subgenre.
