Save Humanity and Turn a Profit with a Free Weekend on Steam!

Plymouth, MI. May 3, 2018 – Take on the role of entrepreneur and travel to Mars for an economic showdown against other companies in Offworld Trading Company! You won’t have to worry about affecting your personal profit margins during the free to play weekend on Steam starting at 1:00pm ET on May 3, 2018.

Buy out your competition and take control of the Martian market in a strategy game where money is your greatest weapon, not military force. This is a real-time, player-driven market, and it is is the foundation of the game. It allows you to buy and sell resources and materials as well as the food and water that the colonists need to survive. Build up enough capital and gain access to the lucrative offworld markets so that you can buy out your rivals and claim the Martian economy for yourself.

Battle isn’t limited to the board room; you can use the black market to employ some more… underhanded methods for victory. You – and your opponents – should prepare to deal with pirate raiders, or hackers trying to disrupt production, or a covert electromagnetic pulse to an opponent’s base, and much more.

Connect with friends online in games for up to 8 players, or try one of the single player campaigns, skirmishes, or daily challenges. For more serious players, ranked ladder games will give them the opportunity to earn ranks and prove their worth.

“We’re really excited to be bringing this free weekend to players,” said Soren Johnson, lead designer and president of Mohawk Games. “Offworld has been my passion project – it’s fast paced, deeply strategic, and is awesome in a multiplayer setting. This event is a great opportunity for new people to try out the game with their friends and play with the community of Offworld fans.”

Soren, other members of the dev team, fans, and staff will be streaming live on Steam to showcase the game throughout the weekend. Stop in, say hello, and play a game or two, then share your thoughts with the community.

To celebrate the free weekend, Offworld Trading Company is available at 50% off the standard $19.99 price through Steam or Stardock. Players can also save up to 65% on the Jupiter’s Forge expansion, game soundtrack, and Offworld Trading Company: Gold. The free weekend play ends at 1pm ET on Sunday, May 6th, and the discounts are available until 1pm ET on Monday, May 7th.

Hyperspace Dogfights

Hyperspace Dogfights

Leipzig – 26th April, 2018: Your adaptive hyper-jet bursts through the upper cloud layer, bearing down on the military machine of a doomed planet.

The craft is soon equipped with a weird combination of sci-fi gear and behaves unlike any other you flew before. Every time you play that is.

After 18 months in development, the 1.0 release of Sleeper Games’ jet-combat roguelike will hit Steam in May. The 2d air-brawler focuses on juicy, impactful air-combat and strong replayability. Player jets will shoot (or melee) their way through masses of air and ground based enemies across 7 zones, culminating in tight escape jumps and fierce boss battles. In-between waves there are hundreds of items and weapons to find, continuously modifying player jets across each unique playthrough. All comes acompanied by a chilled, 16 track OST by ENUIT and Ole Toensen.

During its one year long Ace Access program on itch.io, the game received continuous alpha updates. Additional wave goals, multiple player crafts to unlock and even more jet gear all made their way into the game, alongside changes based on alpha feedback all made their way into the game in the last third of its development.
