Helium Rain to go free-to-play on September 1stIt's been about a decade since I first started prototyping a space game - one where you'd start off with a small ship and trade resources. Two games, three game engines and 15,000 copies sold later, here am I with a new life where I don't quite have the time for such work anymore.
Deimos Games will be shutting down this year. Both Helium Rain and Astral Shipwright will be going free-to-play, so that new players can still experience them in the future. As a reminder, both are also open-source, so if you were going to build anything based on these projects, you now have access to free content too. It's been refreshing to see game developers reuse code for their own projects, and I hope that will continue.
I want to thank all players who supported me on this endeavour. I'm truly happy that I was able to share my work with you.

[ 2023-08-23 14:10:49 CET ] [ Original post ] Helium Rain is a single-player space simulation that places you at the helm of a spacefaring company. Exploration, trading, station-building, piracy are all options. You will need to master both real-time action and long-term strategy: destroying a freighter has a direct impact on the economy, while declaring war will make your spaceflight environment slightly more hostile...

- 12 playable ships with weapon and engine upgrades
Play fighters, bombers, cargos, corvettes or capital ships.
- Realistic economy model
Take advantage of an accurate simulation of space trade to be the most competitive company. If diplomacy fails, blockades are in order.
- Fast-paced combat with a Newtonian flight model
There is no speed limit in Helium Rain. You can fly at half a mile a second while aiming backwards !
- Localized damage model for spacecrafts
Aim for critical systems in order to disable ships, kill their crew or capture targets.
- Procedural contracts, world exploration, technology upgrades
Pick contracts and build your empire.
