WELL WELL WELL – We’re finally hitting Early Access! Reviewers, streamers and our beta community have already been let in, but by 10am PST tomorrow morning, we’ll open the gates to everyone. If you’ve been playing already, you might be interested in the release notes for the build we just put up. There’s a lot of newness in this version, so I’ll get right down to it:
- There’s a whole slew of new sound fx in the game. There are still a few sounds in Combat that need to be done and there’s a tuning pass in general that needs to happen but it’s close!
- There are now optional techs for each of the ships. You can tweak those suckers in some interesting directions these days.
- If you’ve played before, then you might be expecting to pick up where you left off. Wellll, we’re sad to report that this new build will wipe out your save file. Some of the new fixes/changes went deep enough that keeping the old saves around would be baaaad. It’s the dawn of a new era for the game anyway, so we’re hoping that makes it okay. If not, at least you can find squirrels and sunshine outside to ease the pain.
- Tutorials have been updated to match the current game experience. Always helps to know what in the actual f*** is going on.
- New Death Ray and Invasion fx! So, so satisfying.
- Polish pass on just about every aspect of the game.
- Weapon fx got a pass.
- Inspiration in Combat now has a visible timer so you can know when it’s about to Inspire a ship. Inspiring!
- Creepy Tyrant hands on the splash screen got the creepy turned up.
- Empire select sequence got some updating.
- Mountains of bug fixes – huge heaping mountains like we’ve never done before.

- Space Tyrant Lin [1.17 G]
Space Tyrant is a fast-paced roguelikelikelike 4X game set in a grimly grimdark future. Build a terrifying space fleet, devastate planets, and slaughter peaceful extraterrestrials in your relentless march to total domination! Will the forces of Galactic Order halt your invasion or are you truly ready to face-punch the universe?
From the people who designed, produced, drew stuff for, or ate lunch with the people who made Bejeweled, Peggle, and Plants vs Zombies comes a more sinister strategic experience with far fewer unicorns.
We all enjoyed 4x and roguelike games but found our minds wandering to nearby squirrels, etc, during a typical session. So, under the aegis of newly formed Blue Wizard Digital (who also make the awesome SLAYAWAY CAMP, check it out) we set out to make a zero-attention span mega-empire game, where you could have titanic space battles and huge galaxy-spanning conquests but not run over your employer-mandated allotment of lunch-eating minutes.
IN SPACE NOBODY CAN HEAR YOU DIE SCREAMING, THOUGH YOU ARE STILL DYING, RIGHT, IT'S JUST YOUR SCREAMS DON'T TRANSMIT THROUGH THE VACUUM
Also, we didn't care about winning any "cultural victories" or "Space United Nations" crap, so there's none of that. We wanted to disintegrate guys and watch tons of weird spaceships explode. So there is a whole lot of that, plus collecting artifacts and leveling up and conquering planets and executing ambassadors and that sort of thing. Also we hear you like cards? We have cards. So many cards, let me tell you.
But it's not all vaporizing mewling, hapless slavelings. While bashing your way through space, you’ll eventually face off against the ‘mall cops’ of the universe - the ASTRONS. They might try to slap your hand and call your parents, but a truly merciless tyrant will plow right through these goody two-shoes. And to reward your unsavory efforts, a whole new empire will be yours to agitate. New races of scientifically implausible creatures to lord over, new types of frankly ridiculous technology to research, new commanders to throw into the fray, new cards to, um, do card things with.
What are you waiting for? Play now, my lord!
