Gratuitous Space Battles

Archive: 2 posts


Gratuitous Space Battles is a strategic space battle simulator where you assemble your fleet of customized spaceships to face off against the opposing forces and see who gets to leave in the fewest pieces.

It's not a game for everyone though, as you don't actually get any control during the simulation other than zooming around and changing the flow of time. Still, there's a free demo available at the website for those who want to check it out.

What's really amazing is that this game was made by an indie game designer who runs a one-man company. He keeps a blog of his experience in the development of his games and the running of a game company, and I think it's very informative and even inspiring.

I think anyone who is interested in becoming a game designer should check out his blog.

Heh thanks for posting i really want to check out this guys blog xD

I can't believe he's made that solo though. The only problem i have with game designing is that i lose motivation after the first few session if i'm working alone - that's why you always get my bugging people to help me out in the game dev topic

I'm gonna send him an email to see if he could give me some tips on keeping motivated.
