So yup… I’m announcing a new game. I don’t say that often these days! For the last eighteenish months I’ve been working on a project as a hobby that turned into a serious hobby that then turned into a full time thing, and has now become an actual game that will be released on steam this year (into Early Access anyway), called Ridiculous Space Battles.
If that name sounds familiar, its because 15 years ago I was the guy who made ‘Gratuitous Space Battles‘. At the time, there was no other game like it, and now its become a whole genre called ‘autobattlers’. Yup, that was me. I don’t bang on about it as much as I should frankly. But anyway, I made GSB 15 years ago, and a bunch of expansions. A few years later I made GSB2, which was a bit of a flop by comparison. It had bugs for some players, and I got annoyed about it, and really decided to just switch genres and make more political strategy games, publish other people’s games, and also make Production Line: Car factory simulation.
Then at some point I started building a Solar Farm.
But WE ARE SO BACK. I have had enormous fun making this game, and I have so much to say about it. I want to write blog posts, post on social media, etc, and I have been waiting until I was ready to announce it with some nice screenshots like this:
And this
The way I am developing the game is a bit mad, and worthy of a proper long blog post, but for now, I will just leave it that there is a basic website up here, and you can see the game’s steam page (and wishlist it!) on steam here. Also if you are on social media,. any retweets or posts or likes are welcome on this post on bluesky and this one on X. Thanks!
More updates coming really soon :D.
