To all SSC Station occupants
Thank you for the donations over the past year (2024), it is much appreciated. I am still trying to figure out how to migrate the forums to another community software (probably phpbb) but in the meantime I have updated the forum software to the latest version. SSC has been around a while so their is some very long time members here still using the site, thanks for making SSC home and sorry I haven't been as vocal as I should be in the forums I will try to improve my posting frequency.
Thank you again to all of the members that do take the time to donate a little, it helps keep this station functioning on the outer reaches of space.

Bit of an odd one this one, has the look of a mobile game but appears to be PC/Mac only, more info on the Devs site http://www.daedalic.de/de/game/Holy_Potatoes_We_are_in_Space and the Steam page http://store.steampowered.com/app/505730/?snr=1_5_1100__1100 game should be out some time this quarter.
Holy Potatoes! We're in Space?! is a roguelike, space adventure game with management elements and turn-based combat. Manage your very own spaceship and explore a procedurally generated universe with hundreds of planets to explore for resources, and enemies you can encounter for intergalactic space battles.
Encounter dozens of different space races, such as cosmic carrots, zany zucchinis, obnoxious onions, and even space whales! Take part in epic boss battles and save your grandfather, Jiji, who was incarcerated by the evil federation, The Eclipse.
Main Features:
- Craft hundreds of weapons for your spaceship
- Hire engineers to become part of your crew and man your ship
- Explore dozens of planets and galaxies, or why not explore the whole universe!
- Gather resources to upgrade your spaceship and craft weapons!
- Combat evil galactic broccoli and extraterrestrial carrot spaceships, and many others!
- Encounter epic boss battles!
I don't know , but in the far 80s Namco did games like Space Invaders, Phoenix etc. What they missed was simply to add some scenes showing how you build your own ship, so they could have called it Space Game 🙂 If an arcade game, then I rather like to skip such interruptions and simply shoot and dodge...
On the other hand, yes, why not doing a mix of arcade and space simulation, all the subject is currently much too 'serious' to my taste. However I don't think such a style will reach high acceptance, but let's see: There is a community for the 'Boderlands' or comic style games which are well done, and a community for the 'Crysis' or 'FarCry' type games that do the same but try to be more realistic. Both approaches can be entertaining.
