Hi guys, one of million indie dev here!

For anyone interested: Universe Quiz , an astronomy themed quiz game is on permanent discount. Maybe someone of you would like to jump from frantic action or overwhelming worlds to something more relaxing from time to time.

Also, I'm close to release of my another game. Not specifically space game, but it's sci-fi to the core. Game's uniqueness is in its rendering method: CPU-based ray-tracing . There's no other games with similar rendering, at least not to my knowledge. Will not blow you of chair, but it's unique and made with passion. Apart from that, game is puzzler and as I mentioned, it has sci-fi story. Game's name is RTG and if someone find it interesting, you're welcome to wishlist it.

OH thank you so much =CrimsoN= !!!

Hey Brian! Just wanted to say I've always loved your YT. You're pretty much the only content creator that has a genuine interest in space games. Just wanted to say I appreciate your work! Keep flying! :spacefighter:

Well nevermind. It went on a 77 percent sale maybe a day later so, I won't worry about not having a review from you and just wing it. Much obliged for everything you do here. As a side note, I wish a developer would revisit Stars! to revamp it for modern computers.

Hello SGJ, I'm hoping you'd be willing to review CRYPTARK (yes it's in all caps), a 2-D rougelike scifi rpg. It's a game I currently wishlist, and its developer is currently making a 3-D successor of the same game called GUNHEAD.
11 Apr, 2023 @ 5:31pm 
Hey creepyaru, could you elaborate as to how your game is set in space, please?
11 Apr, 2023 @ 4:51pm 
Hey, I'm an indie game developer.
Currently working on a Vampire Survivors, FTL & Nordic Ashes alike 3D game set in space.
Feel free to say hello! and all kinds of feedback are appreciated. Please consider to check it out & wishlist it! https://store.steampowered.com/app/2285630?utm_source=stwl

Hahah yeah if there was another galaxy that close to us we would all be in BIG trouble.
16 Nov, 2022 @ 11:37am 
Foreign Galaxies may indeed be a great game, but their promo video lost me 10 seconds in at "a nearby galaxy, 2 light-years away." Honestly, it made me think the designer had never read an astronomy book in their entire lives. Surely it's common knowledge that the closest *star to us within our own galaxy* is 4-1/3 light-years away?

I've only done a bit of the tutorial so far but damn, they nailed it.
15 Jul, 2021 @ 10:45am 
Anyone tried out the new Tie Fighter mod for XW Alliance? It's still annoying as ever trying to shoot down an A-Wing from a slow turning GunBoat. Hah!
18 Sep, 2020 @ 6:05am 
@BrianRubin shouldn't there be Stellar Monarch on the list of associated games? :)
30 Mar, 2020 @ 7:25am 
Hey NeoRider, those games aren't really in space. They're sci-fi, sure, but don't really have an elements in space, which is why I've not covered them. There's so much else to cover that IS in space that I have to prioritize actual space games. I hope this answers your question.

Big list: "Space colonization & survival Games" https://v1.steam.hlxgame.cc/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1994216417

Thanks for this community! It is strange that there is no information about many classic space games.
For example, I could not find a word about such famous games as: 1) Planetbase 2) Surviving Mars.
Does this community dislike space strategies?
19 Jan, 2020 @ 9:06pm 
I have heard of it @Xaelvik, I've yet to get a copy for coverage! I hope to eventually though! Thanks for chiming in!
19 Jan, 2020 @ 8:38pm 
I don't know if you've seen the RPG called Titan Outpost on here. Only heard about it myself today, and I enjoy your reviews, if you ever have time to get around to this particular game.

The best group I've seen :lunar2019sleepingpig:

It has to be an improvement on X-Rebirth (Afterbirth)
15 Dec, 2018 @ 2:59pm 
While i have not played X4 i feel that it probably misses out on a much needed 4 player co-op mode for online play... Otherwise i cannot see how it is any great leap forward from X3/TC/AP other than improved graphics. It does not need a full on multiplayer mode but the idea of a co-op mode would mean a small group of friends could play the game together in support mode and this would leap it into a whole new world of gameplay.

freelancer is my fav game of all time lol
im in a server that is not on the glabal server list called new warszone it is a modified disco version its an older version with some improvements.
18 Sep, 2018 @ 1:01pm 
@ktdragon333 I actually can't even download Star Citizen. It stalls every time. Don't feel like I'm missing anything, really.
18 Sep, 2018 @ 12:54pm 
Brian have you been playing Star Citizen i guess these some trading and fighting routes or somthing you can play now.
18 Sep, 2018 @ 12:51pm 
LOL , Come on guys i want you to shoot back at me your favorite games and why you like them
18 Sep, 2018 @ 12:49pm 
"Geeze Unbelievable" Whats that you say? Oh Freelancer from 2006 still beats them all in the maner of an Allience War and a fairly great storyline. Theres Trade thoughout the universe and Mining for exotic materials. I'm tiered of all these Stratagy Games mucking up the place.
I have to say Elite Dangerous gets it there game has potential. Nice blog Brian i like it :)
18 Sep, 2018 @ 12:39pm 
@ktdragon333 I kinda get it, they wanna focus more on combat.
18 Sep, 2018 @ 12:36pm 
To bad Between the Stars does not have mining and trading etc...
17 Sep, 2018 @ 4:52pm 
Howdy! How goes the crypts?

INFLUENCE

Hi,
i have only one critisim on the subject which directs to "Stellaris" and maybe to other SF-games, why we are here:

When curators like SGJ critisim a game, and the Dev changes to much of the plan, then the game is not what the Devs want and maybe they lose player base, because the game is such like others.

And directing it to "Stellaris" it is now something like the "new" Master of Orion" with starlanes and such only in Realtime.

For my taste i like RT SF as we are after 2010 ... but now days nealry all SFs are TB and like each other.

So was it maybe the influence of curators? If so, and as SGJ "is" the authority on SF-Games, could you please critisize the game mechanics and not the whole game design?

Regards

I'm happy to help, but you only need to ask once. ;) Just saying.
1 Dec, 2017 @ 9:28am 
+ I just had the epiphany that a steam curator could help bump the numbers up.
1 Dec, 2017 @ 9:24am 
Trying to push this game because it'll be even more fun with a stronger competitive crowd.
1 Dec, 2017 @ 9:18am 
Coming on a little strong man. ;)
1 Dec, 2017 @ 9:06am 
@BrianRubin can you help a new-ish (one year old) game out? It launched on Steam after initially releasing as an .io game last year, last month.

@Taralanth Hey, I did some vids on Albion Prelude a while back, but I suppose I've not yet added it to the curator page. I'll fix that! Thanks for catching that!
30 Nov, 2017 @ 7:35pm 
Space game junkie, have you reviewed X3: TC/AP yet? i was looking for it in your recomendations and idk if i missed it or not. If you havent here you should its one of the best single player space empire builders i have ever played, and it has a masive and active modding comunity.

Here is a link:

It would be great if you could check out my game called The Armament Project. It was made with Unreal Engine 4... it's coming out Friday 9/29/17. It uses assets from the Infiltrator demo. Thanks!

I don't know what to tell you then, but thank you for not attempting to pirate it.
