developed by Gambrinous

[gfycat data_id="WarmLittleGalapagospenguin"]dungeoneeringdungeoneering2[gfycat data_id="TimelyJealousGannet"]dungeoneering3dungeoneering4

“A turn-based dungeon crawler with a twist: instead of controlling the hero you build the dungeon around him. Using cards drawn from your Guild decks, you lay down rooms, monsters, traps and of course loot! Meanwhile your hero is making his own decisions on where to go and what to fight.”

This recently released on Steam (I missed it somehow) and was actually one of the first games I posted about when I started my blog 7 months ago.  Pretty cool to see it out now.  :)  Original post is here.

A retro space strategy inspired by a mix of BattleStar Galactica and FTL.  I recommend reading through the Kickstarter as there seems to be quite a lot of depth mixed with tough managerial decisions.  Currently in development for Windows, Mac, and Linux.

“Command a ragtag fleet of starships against an unbeatable enemy. You’ll be evacuating refugees, scrounging for resources, overcoming political treachery, and assembling your flock from one jump point to the next. Your goal is to lead what’s left of humanity out of reach from the unknown threat that pursues.”

Satellite Reign 

developed by 5 Live Studios

You command a group of 4 agents through rain-soaked, neon-lit streets, where the law is the will of mega-corporations. Use your agents to sneak, shoot, steal, and sabotage your way up the corporate ladder, and take control of the most powerful monopoly of all time.”

I really like the music in the teaser trailer.  Satellite Reign is currently on Steam Early Access with pretty good reviews, and seems to get regular updates.

“A realtime 3rd-person tactical shooter set in a cyberpunk-themed future. In the game, you deploy one or more agents on various missions and use a combination of combat and hacking to progress.”

In development as a premium (not free-to-play) game on the iPad, and built from the ground up with touch controls in mind.  After release, the developers will consider releasing to other platforms if it makes sense.  Release date: “when it’s done”.

A JRPG in the vein of Final Fantasy Tactic and Tactics Ogre, but instead of controlling individual characters in battle, you control squads of heroes on a much larger battlefield.

Still in early development for PC, and will include the assets and code required for people to create their own campaigns using UDK.
