[The Dystopian]

I'm surprised I have not seen a post about that game, I don't have a dog in that race, I just feel like it's something you guys would apreciate.

Be forewarened though, it is supremely buggy. Times 10.

From the website:

Objects in Space is a modempunk stealth space-trading game (...) You are a lonesome ship’s captain, buying and selling wares in order to keep your bucket of bolts afloat and stay one step ahead of pirates, organised criminals, corrupt governments and shady laws.

Combat in Objects in Space sees ships treated more like submarines than dogfighters. You’ll be running silent, planning manoeuvres far ahead of time and engaging in deadly games of cat-and-mouse with nebulous enemies.

You will command your one-person ship from the captain’s chair. Encounters happen far outside visual range, so rather than close-quarters space shoot-em-ups, you’ll be poring over magnetic, gravimetric and radiation scanning arrays trying to locate tiny boxes of metal sometimes flying at millions of miles per hour massive distances away hoping against hope to get a missile lock.

I'm not fond of early acces and that's why I held on fanfaring about this sooner but now that it got a Steam release I feel like it's a good time to come out with it. It looks to me like a niche passion project that hopefully will see fruition, eventually. It does crash all the time though, but if you can live with that you'll be rewarded with cool gameplay and atmosphere.

There is even a manual on how to build an Arduino powered game controler for it, simulator style, and that is super cool to me.

Anyway, don't take my word for it and just look up these links;


Here is a cool video where Scott Manley plays a bit with the "simulator" set up

It's funny, a couple days ago the last pair of games I played were Silent Hunter 3 and FTL and, briefly remembering the last two games you played thread, thought about the combination being almost exactly this.
