Blackbird Interactive acquires full ownership of Hardspace: Shipbreaker IP

I assume it did well if they're looking to make more in the line, but I LOVED this game for chill podcast and audiobook listening. Pretty curious to see where they're going with it.

I wanted warships, maybe now it will happen
Interesting. I am a huge fan of space scifi, and it came out of EA the day before my birthday 🤔
The vibes on this game were on point. Great game and I really really really hope they're making another one. Preferably with workshop and mod support! And DLCs! I wanna tear more ships apart! RIP AND TEAR UNTIL IT IS DONE
- I definitely wanted larger ships that would take several weeks to break down.
Ooooo that's one I need to try on the deck, hope the best for the developers, was one hell of a game
- Having played it, it works pretty well. I would be happier if more games with 6 DoF used the same control scheme on the Deck, but that's my biggest concern.
Worried Blackbird was a publisher for a moment. Shipbreaker is great. I beat it twice (normally and no clones) and still play for relaxation. Captain Shack mentioned it during a stream a few days back and I was just thinking how it's probably the only game where i'd actually willingly buy a DLC for a new set of ships or a sequel with the ability to add ships as workshop mods.
This is one of the few games I keep installed and jump back to just as a chill game that requires no intense planning or strategy. The mechanics are simple, well executed, and easy to pick back up after not playing for a while. So many games have tons of complex mechanics that are fine when you're playing it, but hard to remember if you haven't touched it in a while.
Still have yet to complete it but I do find it fun.
- Same. I love this game when I'm looking for something to chill with. Relaxed mode (with the timer off) is the way better way to play.
Best gaming news I've heard in a while. This was a fantastic new IP and really shows a lot of promise for future games. Really excited to see where they take this world.
I've got 500hrs in that game! This is the best news I've heard all year 😆 Signed up for the Pioneer Program immediately, of course without reading the T&C's properly, just like any loyal LYNX employee should! Oh boy, can't wait to "disagree and commit" some more.
More Homeworld games (gearbox etc. I know. But it is us homeworld!). Love it!
- Era One (very recently into early acces) feels a LOT like homeworld 2 used to. But the "build your big ships from blocks" is definitely something you need to get used to, and need to like.
  And it's from the Homeworld Complex people, who do not exactly have the best trackrecord in developing.
That's cool! What about that other major IP?
