Three people surrounding a laptop playing children of infinity. Theyโre picking ships.
We do a little impromptu playtesting for Children of Infinity with a melee match between @shivambhatt.bsky.social and @ravikanodia.bsky.social
Try our new game, Free Stars: GO, tomorrow! Available for one day and one day only, can you locate Dan in a sea of game developers? Playable on all human sensory organs.
Teenage Ur-Quan yells "Lord 6 7!"
On the other hand, if space rodents are bothering the Ur-Quan, they're probably doing something right!
An in-game screenshot of a user report. Title: "Shofixti is OP" Body: "After playing approximately 100 melee matches, I have determined that the Shofixti Scout is OP. It is not far that I can lose to such a dinky ship piloted by a space rodent. Please consider increasing the point cost of the Shofixti Scout to the same cost as the Ur-Quan Dreadnought. Thanks" Email address: "lord223@pathofnowandforev.er"
In-game bug reporting? In our Melee demo?! Yes. We look forward to high quality player feedback. #screenshotsaturday #urquan
Please be sure to eat, drink, sleep, and tell your loved ones that you'll be back when (if?) you survive the perils of space!
Did you know you can wishlist Free Stars: Children of Infinity on @gog.com to get a completely DRM-free experience on Windows, Linux, and Mac when it releases? The Demo will be available there too! *jumping peppers* www.gog.com/en/game/free...
sage words from [ R E D A C T E D ]
We hope to do face recordings of players experiencing this for the first time in game. We'll make you watch all of them.

All of you who listed Star Control in your top 9, here's the indie team making a new one.
We are not responsible for any damage due to: gnawing, flooding, or acts of Dogar and Kazon.
Photo of the side of a grey canvas messenger bag. Three enamel pins are pinned to its side pocket: A blue and purple glittery dragon, a yellow and red fishing lure, and a space ship that looks something like a game piece from the game of jacks. It's formed of a central red circle and five smaller ones on arms sticking out from it at various angles, in green, blue, pink, red, and yellow.
First rule of Star Control: Always keep Fwiffo in your fleet. Pin from the physical rewards for the @pistolshrimpgames.com 2024 Kickstarter for the new sequel "Children of Infinity", came last month. Definitely not over here gnawing on the furniture until the game is released (estimated Q3 2026).
Milestone 9 Update just dropped! Check out our finishing touches for our Melee Demo, stories from Kickstarter rewards shipping, and plans for the very near future. www.kickstarter.com/projects/pis...
Yes! Dan (@pebby.net) will be there, but he's not sure when yet. DM us (or him... it's the same person!) and let's find a time to meet. We'll force you to play Melee, fair warning.

But how do the residents feel about the installation of a point defense laser in the middle of their block? ๐ฑ
Exciting chemical compounds make human even more likeable.
We're more of an orifice generalist.

Just another day doing important story research.
One is never too old to be excited about stickers. If someone feels that way, they probably just need some more stickers.
Never knew pins and stickers could excite me this much at my age ๐ Canโt wait to play the game!
Thanks for the love and care that went into these props and even the packaging, @pistolshrimpgames.com โค๏ธ
It would be fun, but it's a ton of effort too. We definitely don't have time for such an endeavor until we're done with Children of Infinity.
Reverse Ilwrath Avenger where no one can see anything.
Whoah whoah keep it inside your eyestalks, Captain!
