Hi there Sleeper Games crowd. To be a part of Steam’s ongoing Deckbuilder Fest I put together an early experimental demo for Hyperspace Deck Command, my upcoming sci-fi deckbuilding roguelite that will also be the third entry in the Hyperspace Anthology. You can try it right now here on Steam.

The game has only been in development for 5 months now, so this is still just a small part of what is yet to come. In the demo you can fight your way through 5 different simulation encounters using a randomized starter deck, culminating in an super long final battle hat requires a powerful fleet and proper mastery of the game’s fresh dual-use status effect system. A lot of main features (starting deck selection, card upgrades, stores) are still missing though, but I hope you get a few hours of fun out of it regardless.

I'm sure it makes up for the lack of content with an abundant supply of bugs, so feel free to contact me on discord with reports (link in the pause menu). I'm looking forward to your general feedback too! Please wishlist the game on Steam if you want to support its development.

Attention all aces: My next game has just launched. In Swirl W@tch you will stealth-infiltrate the ravaging industries of Cloud 2, a vibrant gas-giant that has become the new Floatoid homeworld. Use sonar and lidar to track corporate guard forces, eliminate or capture ships using a plethora of gadgets and grow the resistance movement to unlock new gear. Swirl W@tch is available now for Windows PC and Linux. If you decide to get the game then please consider leaving a review, reaching at least 10 reviews is crucial for the game right now.
A thousand limbs uplift you!

As for Hyperspace Dogfights: Next bug fix patch is highest on my to-do list, will get done after wrapping up the Swirl W@tch launch.

Attention all aces.

My next game now has a release date! Swirl W@tch aims to take stealth-infiltration gameplay to a fresh new setting: The crushing depths of an over-exploited gas giant. Use sonar and lidar to track guards, employ a wide variety of tactics and gadgets against them and grow the movement to unlock new gear.



Swirl W@tch releases on February 21st. After ---Red---Tether--> this will be the second entry in the Hyperspace Anthology, a collection of top down sci-fi games that will share a similar artstyle, but will explore vastly different genres. If you got something out of my previous games then please consider wishlisting the game. I'm very much dependent on what little launch visibility my games can get and wishlists features into this substantially as far as I can tell.

Hi Everyone
It has been six month since the release of ---Red---Tether--> and my next game is now well underway. I’m happy to officially announce Swirl Watch, a stealth-action roguelite that takes place in the dense atmosphere of an over-exploited gas giant. If you want to know more you can check it out here on Steam. Please wishlist to support its development.

Swirl Watch is about 60% complete and I plan to have a demo available in September. The game uses a similar art-style and perspective as ---Red---Tether-->, but explores a vastly different genre, something I might continue with further games so that they form sort of top down space-game anthology. I hope you get something out of Swirl W@tch once it is finally complete.

Cheers

With my new game ---Red---Tether--> launched I finally had time to put together a long due patch for Hyperspace Dogfights. To celebrate the launch, this update also includes a couple new items for you to play around with. Many are unlocked by reaching certain global completion percentage or are part of the loot pool from the get go. So you might find most of them immediately, depending on how far you progressed in the game.

Hyperspace Dogfights Version 1.212 (End-Tech)
- 6 new passives added (mostly unlocked by reaching certain global completion percentage)
- 3 new actives added
- Missile Maker is now tier 3 (was 4)
- Reduced all explosive displacers dmg vs shield (25%-->10%, affects self damage)
- Added some safeguards to ensure that entering intermission does not prevent dying store shops from dropping their SRM
- Stimpack now applies enrage immediately on use, eliminating situations when active auto-skip on jump would prevent the full effect
- Boss Rush now disables endless mode
- Blade Hull collision damage taken reduction now affects ground and prop collisions
- Fixed Blade Hull never actually reducing collision damage taken from enemy collisions :o
- Fixed flak effects using current player muz flash anim instead of the one used by their shot
- Attempted to fix an unclear case of item IDs not getting written into gear_get.txt when taking chest content
- Fixed some typos

The next game set in the Hyperspace universe has arrived. ---Red---Tether--> is now available for PC and Linux, featuring tether-based space battles that revolves entirely around linking yourself with opponents or them with each other. You crash vessels into another using contracting tethers, rip off enemy weapons and attachments with well placed harpoons and outmaneuver whole fleets by grapple-swinging around objects.

The tether-base combat is wrapped in a overarching roguelite package, featuring:
- 6+ player ships that come with distinct play styles, advantages and challenges.
- 70+ ship and tether upgrades to evolve your run.
- 50+ pre-made waves +randomized endless mode.
- 10+ star system with increasingly vicious fleet compositions thrown at you.
- 16+ boss battles including various elite units, defense stations and giant command ships.
- Black boxes with collectible lore and databases that index all unlockables.
- Basic controllers support and assist options.

If you enjoyed Hyperspace Dogfights I’d be thrilled if you give Red Tether a try. Some elements will feel familiar, but the hole things plays a bit more tactically and methodical I think.
If you end up getting it then please also consider leaving a review. The game depends on reaching at least 10 and then 50 reviews to get increased visibility on Steam and only you can make that happen.

Cheers
Stefan – Sleeper Games
