Starward Rogue is a passion project designed not just by myself, but by a team of other hardcore fans of this subgenre. We have several thousand hours in similar games, and we wanted to do something excitingly new without being completely alien. We had a very tight timeline, so as far as the rest of…
DetailsWe’re in need of testers for Starward Rogue’s push toward release. If you want to help us with this game, please post in this thread, and we’ll get a build sent over. Thanks in advance to anyone willing to help.
DetailsStarward Rogue is the name we finally settled on for our roguelike/PDL shmup-like… thing. It’s really fun, but video is better at describing it than I am. The game is currently in alpha version 0.2, but we’re looking for more volunteer testers all the time (email arcengames at gmail dot com). It’s still in early…
DetailsWe’re happy to announce the launch of The Last Federation’s second expansion: The Lost Technologies! The new release brings new features and mechanics to TLF — such as the new Ring World planet type, Champion enemies, a ton of new additions and modifications to racial techs, and more. Along with the expansion, today sees the release of…
DetailsVersion 2.021 is another cumulative update to the base game and the first expansion, and it also has the new “free v3.0 content” (3 new events and 3 new alliance types) in early. Lots of good stuff in the release notes since the last main post about this, which was apparently version 2.008. Enjoy! This is a…
DetailsWhat’s this now? A new expansion, you say? Indeed! The Lost Technologies. We’ve been working with Draco18s, a long-time community member here, to bring this one to life. This is quite an exciting expansion for us, because we hadn’t even thought we’d be able to do something like this this year (what with Stars Beyond…
DetailsFirst up the good news. You may recall that we were doing a series of visual shorts set in the world of Stars Beyond Reach. Well, the final part of that is now here! Since it’s been a while, here are all three parts of the video in one series: “Tales of Woe” is a…
DetailsFirst of all, the TLDR: the time has come to push back the release date yet again, this time to September 25th. Finances (Just Because I know People Will Ask) So, yet another month — whew. This is now our most expensive-to-make game except for Valley 1, and our most time-consuming-to-make game in terms of man-months by…
DetailsInterview with Arcen Games, By Edward Varfalvy This was a great Q&A with Edward about the game — he asks some really great questions that get at not just what the game is, but what the motivations were behind it. Some of the questions get at future intent as the current beta progresses, as well,…
DetailsChris: This was written by Sean Johnson, one of our beta testers for Stars Beyond Reach, and I’ve only added formatting and images. Sean: I have never had so much fun losing at a strategy game and have certainly never felt compelled to write something about it. Sean: All seemed well in our budding Zenith settlement…
