My son has started tinkering around with RPG Maker last night. He already made a super small game with companions, funny little dialogues, a decent story, and even a cool boss fight. I'm proud and slightly scared. (I started out there myself, with RPG Maker 2000.) 🥹🥹🥹

This was a concept piece for what we wanted the Nexus Plaza to look like - Think we nailed it in the full release?

And what a crew we have...! Aren't they like a funkyfied Mass Effect crew? Be honest - who would you romance if you could? #retrospace #indiegame

Time to meet our characters and the amazing people who brought them to life! A mysterious scientist, two artificial intelligences, a mutant pig-man, a tragic pair of twins, a genetic engineer, and an android with a disco ball for a head. Thank you for being a part of this Journey: @JakVox @AbicadabriVA @TheSphereHunter @KirstenRiaa , Gianni, and Anthony!

Masterful marketing with this. They choose the most polarizing parts to give something to talk about, and it worked. There are changes from the book, yes, but with a movie where the main character is constantly having visions I wouldn't jump to conclusions. It looks amazing btw.
The final trailer for ‘DUNE: PART 3’ has been released. In theaters on December 18.

We made a working - and pretty chill - subway system in RetroSpace. Hop on and explore the station, as you want; this is one of the few places where you'll be safe all the time. (time to listen to some audio logs)

Just a quick reminder of what RetroSpace is: - single player - narrative driven - stealth-action FPS - heavy on exploration - no hand holding - player freedom is key - complex "sandbox" systems - deep story & lore - horror & humor - pc & consoles - retro & space - out now! #RetroSpace #indiegame #horror #scifi #fps

I played RetroSpace, and it gave me hope. AAA studios barely touch immersive sims anymore, but The Wild Gentlemen came along and made a game that feels like a proper old-school immersive sim. Indie studios will always carry that torch, and I refuse to lose hope. One day, we’ll get another great Dead Space game. One day, we’ll get another Deus Ex. One day, we’ll get a Mass Effect game that captures what made the series special. Until then, I’m glad there are still developers willing to take risks and make games out of passion rather than just playing it safe.
Comments by a certain CEO on the closure of Looking Glass Studios, and the almost certain closure of Arakne Lyon... we are truly living in the end times. But you know what? It makes us extremely proud that we just released our passion-game which would never have born if Looking Glass and Arkane hadn't existed. We know there are certain realities in business, but these studios - which dared to be bold and experimental - deserve our utmost respect! If everything were just about profit, a large portion of the greatest games would never have been created, and the indie scene wouldn't be as strong and vibrant as it is today. Let's never forget that.

Same problem, different solutions. RetroSpace is a playground if you like to experiment. Go guns blazing, or use stealth? Laying traps, or rely on mutations? Create diversions or be one with the darkness to cover your tracks? Hack turrets and embrace the chaos? It's all on you - be the janitors of your choice!

RetroSpace is its own thing, sure, but it is also inspired by "our heroes", the games we grew up with, like System Shock 2, Thief 1-2, Half-Life, Bioshock, and Deus Ex to just mention a few. > RetroSpace is out now on Steam, Playstation, and Xbox!

Did you know? There are a total of 10 collectible pin-up cards in the game, and all of them are a clear reference to either a game, a book, or a movie that inspired us. Have you found them all? > RetroSpace is OUT NOW on Steam, Playstation, and Xbox!
