Uberspace |
 |
Uberspace is a multiplayer online space shooter with persistent player ranks and stats, supporting up to 128 players per game, each with the opportunity to advance through diverse roles such as scout fighter pilot, squad leader, and even intergalactic armada commander. It is a hybrid RTS and squad-based, competitive game that emphasizes leadership and rewards team oriented game play. The world and models are fully 3D, combining the classic 2D game feel with a modern 3D engine.
Uberspace is a fast paced and highly competitive game. Players are divided into four teams (each representing one of four player races), and contend against each other for control of the galaxy in several classic game types or the core, unique game type Conquest.
Players can take on one of many diverse roles and are rewarded for their performance in that role. These roles include exploration, mining, discovering ancient technologies and artifacts, subjugating planets, or just killing your friends.

- Persistent player ranks and stats.
- Two games in one: Play as a strategic commander in RTS mode, or fly a starship as a pilot or tactical squad leader.

BlackThrone |
 |
BlackThrone is a retro, 2D, tile-based, tactical-combat RPG. We built it for fun, because we like RPGs.
Standard fantasy tropes? We got em. Orcs, Skeletons, Giant Rats? We got em. Simple loot, limited player
levels? They're all here. Kludgey 1980s interfaces, obscure keyboard commands, and cloth maps? Sorry, these
things we had to get rid of. BlackThrone is a 1980s game in a third-millenium world.
You can do all the things in BlackThrone that you could do two decades ago: assemble a party of
adventurers, delve through complex, hand-crafted dungeons, talk to citizens the world over, and learn cool
magic spells and acquire deadly magic weapons. You play a wet-behind-the-ears farmboy that's decided to
leave his home and find his fortune in the world.
You'll find mystery and magic, evil creatures and hungry beasts, and a few corrupt officials that might
need something more than a stern talking-to. Something pointier. Stuck in their bellies, even. In the Black
Isles, an archipelago formed of dark, igneous rock, nefarious beings are afoot.
- Chunky pixel art just like you remember!
- Ten levels of mighty smiting
- Party with up to six player characters, each under your control
- Tactical, turn-based combat including ranged weapons and spells
- Quest-based adventuring, with a handy quest log to keep you pointed in
the right direction as well as side-quests for those that would like to spend more
time in the Black Isles
- Weapons from clubs and maces to magic two-handers and exquisite bows
- Dozens of creatures
- Hundreds of NPCs
- 15-20 hours of play
