- Democracy 4 is now in Early Access! - 7 October 2020
Yes its true! after all these years, Democracy has finally returned to steam! Democracy 4 is now in Early Access, and your people are eagerly awaiting (or dreading!) your leadership! So far the game supports English-language only on PC (but more languages are coming soon), and we have the following coutrnies in need of governing: The USA! The UK! France! Germany! Canada! Democracy 4 already has steam achievements and steam workshop support, and a full modding guide is available. If you have ever found yourself getting angry in online debates about what the government should do, now is your chance to prove conclusively that you could do a better job. Its actually way harder than it sounds, especially if you think you will be able to stick to your principles AND win re-election over multiple terms... What will people think when you legalize LSD? when you double alcohol tax? when you give…
- Democracy 4 is just ONE WEEK away from Early Access - 29 September 2020
Exciting times! Not only does today mark the first Presidential election debate in the US, its just a week away from the launch into early access of our political strategy game Democracy 4. If you want to try your hand at implementing Universal Basic Income, or maybe you want to ban teaching evolution in schools, perhaps build a border wall, or legalize heroin, or go crazy with the money printer with some helicopter money or quantitative easing... these are all options available to you in Democracy 4. Currently the game features the USA, UK, Germany and France, and we expect to add Canada before Early Access starts, with a list of other countries coming after that as we continue to work on the game in response to player feedback. Here is the official trailer: https://youtu.be/kuJGiYC4cyg I also just added a new steam guide that explains how people can create mods for the game, which we…

- S.EXE: VA-11 HALL-A - 10 October 2014
Some of my favourite people in the world have been bartenders. I mean, I didn’t speak to many of them for more than ten minutes, and I know how it works – I used to tend bar too – you flirt for tips and for kicks. But a bartender has an uncanny way of being able to flip a switch in you. Not just with their sticky fluids, but also with their damn fine smiles, the ability to pay you attention for just those five minutes you want to order a drink after work. Sometimes you can make up stories about them, that the smile was really because you are the most handsome thing in the world, and they are going to Tom-Cruise-in-Cocktail you after their shift. But ah, being the bartender. It’s a different sort of thing all together. It’s a real performance. …

- Wot I Think: Redshirt - 28 November 2013
Redshirt ‘s Spacebook sounds like the perfect idea: it’s a life sim which uses a social network as a metaphor through which to convey each character’s personal data and stats. The jokes write themselves. Add a Star Trek-like space station as the setting and you can almost see each element of the game’s design spooling out in front of you. It’s a shame that the concept is the only thing I like. (more…)

- By Riker’s Beard! Redshirt Beams Down At Last - 13 November 2013
Stardate -309131.9634703195 (or so a random website tells me it is): a videogame is released, on the internet. I think Oor Graham plans to bring you An Opinion on social networking meets Star Trek comedy game Redshirt a little further down the line, but according to the Captain’s Log (my RPS inbox full’o'press releases) The Tiniest Shark-developed, Positech-published sci-fi, turn-based management sim has made itself available for purchase as of this very day. Disaster-strewn social ladder-climbing within the confines of a starship also puts me in mind of Red Dwarf at its most well-grounded, which is a good thing. I do hope there’s a Gazpacho Soup achievement. (more…)
- Now Available on Steam - Redshirt - 13 November 2013
Redshirt is Now Available on Steam for PC and Mac! Redshirt is the comedy sci-fi sim about social networking aboard a space station, starring the station's most ambitious low-ranking peon: you! Navigate the professional and interpersonal politics of the ubiquitous "Spacebook" to curry favor among friends and colleagues. As intense intergalactic conflict rages around you, it's up to you to accrue those all-important "likes" on your status updates! Whether you're looking for love, opportunities for promotion, or even a chance to play Zero-G golf with the captain, you can schmooze your way through social circles and claw your way up the career ladder. Perhaps you too can finally achieve the dream of an off-station transfer, or even the Redshirt's opportunity of a lifetime: being sent on an away-mission!
