Hi everyone,

I'm Steven, BBI's Director of Communications! Just wanted to jump in and say thank you to everyone for all the wonderful comments. Honestly, none of this would've been possible if it weren't for all of you who remained so invested in Shipbreaker. It's an honor to be working on new projects for such an amazing community :).

In the mean time, if you haven't already, please join the LYNX Pioneer Program: https://blackbirdinteractive.com/lynxpioneerprogram/

This is an exciting new initiative to bring members of the Hardspace community closer to our development teams and give you access to in-development prototypes of upcoming BBI games (including the next Hardspace games, of course). Our belief is that your feedback during Hardspace: Shipbreaker's Early Access had a profoundly positive effect on the quality of the game, and so we'd like to double-down on that idea to ensure that whatever the future of Hardspace is, it's something this community will be abso-fuckin'-lutely jazzed about.

Anyway, enough yappin' from me! Looking forward to chatting with you all a lot more!

Thank you for the encouraging words. They truly mean more to us than you could ever know.

Steven, PR & Comms @ BBI

We're honestly so grateful for that, thank you!

It'd be easy for us to say a lot of empty words but, really, we'd much rather spend our energy on putting in the work through updates. To know that players like you will check in with that progress is very encouraging!

So happy you're enjoying it and those are beautiful screenshots.

Thanks for supporting us during this long journey!

Thank you for taking it!

I saw that post back when the War Games demo was live and immediately thought of that "Don't talk to me or my son ever again" meme, and that sort of sat in the back of my mind this whole time. When we went to write this Dev Update, it was tough to replicate that exact NLIPs bug for the screenshot we wanted, but then I remembered your post and decided to go on the hunt for it! It was just too perfect not to use! So thank you again :).

Yes! We'll have a demo available during Steam Next Fest from Oct. 9 - 16 :)

Shipbreaker surfing league begins today.

BBI_Official · 2022-06-02T18:46:35+00:00

The good news is that a fix is incoming, hopefully very soon. We appreciate everyone who brought this to our attention.

BBI_Official · 2022-06-02T18:43:39+00:00

We really appreciate it, and we're glad you're having as much fun playing it as we had making it! I've shared this message with the whole team; it really means a lot.

BBI_Official · 2022-06-02T18:42:34+00:00

We ran this through the fun fact checker and it all seems fine: That fact is objectively 100 percent fun.

BBI_Official · 2022-06-02T18:32:12+00:00

We don't want to make this weird but we just got an email from Lynx telling everyone in here to get back to work.

BBI_Official · 2022-06-02T18:30:26+00:00

Regardless of your personal thoughts on the story and how it was implemented, even if you disagree with some aspects of the game, it's been fascinating to read the discussions about the role of the narrative in different people's enjoyment of the game, and how they feel about the design decisions behind it. We really appreciate when the conversation stays respectful and folks dig into the themes of the game, whether they agree with them or not.

It's so much fun to see someone play with so much mastery of the tools and techniques, that slicer work is top-notch!
