Announcing Solitude, A Coop Space Survival Game

After months of blog posts alluding to our current game in development, we’re ready to let everyone know what we’re up to. Announcing…

Emergency Repairs Wallpaper

Solitude is a cooperative multiplayer action survival game set in space. We’re a big fan of space games and feel there aren’t enough cooperative games out there, however players may play on their own if they choose to do so with computer controlled crew mates. The game is played from a first person perspective as a crew member of the Solitude.

In Solitude, you and your crew find yourself stranded on the other side of the galaxy after humanity’s first experimental warp drive malfunction. Now alone in unknown space, it is the job of the crew to repair the ship and begin the long journey home.

Solitude is one of the games we’ve been wanting to make for a long time now and we’re finally in a position where we’re able take it on as our main game development project. We’ll be releasing information and blog posts about it over the coming months but for more detailed information visit the Solitude website. You’ll also be able to follow our progress in more detail with the Solitude Facebook page and Twitter account too!

As you may know we’re heading to the Wales Games Development Show this year and we’ll be bringing a Solitude tech demo with us. If you’re going to be there come say hi and check it out!

Why Move… Again?!... (read more)
