So excited for this project to get fully announced and launch our Steam page! Alongside that we'll soon be opening up the game for play testers to gather feedback!

Let me know if this game looks like something you'd like to try out!

@devsanddorks We're developing 'Project Starbon', a soon-to-be-announced bullet-hell roguelike where you’ll pilot one of many unique starcraft through the war-torn remnants of humanity’s intergalactic colonies, upgrading and augmenting salvaged weaponry to survive! 🚀💥

One of the things we are striving for providing as many engaging play styles as possible.

We have a lot of planned ship customization and meta progression features in the work.

Very excited to show off more progress on that topic as those features become ready to show off!

[Second Shift Games @SSGDevs]

In our spacefaring #roguelike, Project Starborn, pilotable ships are divided into three classes: frigates, cruisers, and battleships!

Generally speaking, larger classes offer better survivability and a higher weapons-platform capacity at the cost of mobility. 💥🚀

[Philip Simpson @PhilipDSimpson]

This is one of the latest features I've been working on!

It's been a constant battle of making it visually engaging while also making the user experience solid. I'm always looking to hear player feedback!

Progress on the 'Starmap', your key to navigating the galaxy in our upcoming sci-fi #roguelike, Project Starborn! 🗺️

Balancing this hasn’t been easy. Should pilots scour the entire sector, or blitz the enemy flagship? We discuss this in our newsletter—link in replies! 👇
