Battlestation: Harbinger Extended Edition
« on: October 09, 2015, 07:09:53 am »

Greetings, commanders!

I'm part of the dev team developing this:

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/bugbyte-ludibooster/battlestation-harbinger-extended-edition?ref=b12

A sci-fi space exploration game blending roguelike, turn-based star map strategy and real-time space battles. I'll show you some of the screenshots
we have in the campaign here:


You are a young commander given the task to venture out into enemy territories, far away from home to unknown galaxies, never knowing what you will face as you jump out from hyperspace.


You will have to make decisions regarding your fleet and equipment, face surprising challenges, and battle fiercely for survival as you defend humanity.


Strategy, tactics and resource management is the core of Battlestation: Harbinger, plan your ship offenses and defenses, counter the weapons of enemies and make the right decisions when maneuvering your fleet.

Now we are working hard on perfecting the game, making it better based on the feedback from our very enthusiastic community of players. They came up with a lot of great ideas, and we plan to implement them and bring the game to Steam better than ever. The Kickstarter is meant to help us make these changes. This game was originally published on mobile back in August, it has received a lot of praise from the community and it was featured by both Google and Apple at the time of launch.

What we are aiming for is to bring great games for PC AND mobile, making the games great on both platforms. This is a bit of a challenge but we're happy to give it a real go.



We're hard-core PC gamers ourselves, and Battlestation: Harbinger is heavily inspired by Faster Than Light.

DF doesn't mold players into its image - DF merely selects those who were always ready for DF.

Minecraft UI is very simple. There's only so many ways you can implement "simple" without copying something. We also gonna complain that it uses WASD?

Thank you for the encouraging words! A YouTuber recently played the game and he really praised it, always fun to see someone enjoy a game like that. Especially on that you created :)

Would like to see this on PC. Reminds me somewhat of a simple version of starsector whne you are playing as a carrier.

Exactly what I thought of miljan, a starsector-lite.

The whole Kickstarter is to bring the game to Steam, reworked for PC, and also make improvements based on our community feedback.

80% there now! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/bugbyte-ludibooster/battlestation-harbinger-extended-edition
