- Massive update released for the Clanfolk Demo! - 21 March 2022
Clanfolk Demo Upgrade Released Hi everyone, I just wanted to let the SPAZ fans know about some developments with MinMax's next game, Clanfolk. I am thrilled to finally update the Clanfolk Demo with all the new content that I have been working on. I want to give special thanks to the Discord community for tirelessly testing the beta versions over the last few months and providing great suggestions. Please consider stopping by. We have a very friendly community, and I am on there daily taking notes :) https://discord.com/invite/U6yztRSTxX New World Building Controls When starting a New Map, players can now choose to spend points to change the amount of Mountains, Lakes, Forests, Grassland, and Wildlife on the generated map. Points need to be balanced, so highly increasing one slider, will mean a tough choice on what other ones to decrease. Custom Clan Builder After the map has been genera…
- A first look at Clanfolk - 11 August 2021
Hello Everyone!, I am very happy to announce Clanfolk! Clanfolk has been a four year passion project, and now it is about time to show it. A little history, Clanfolk was developed alongside Golftopia, its sibling project. After SPAZ and SPAZ2, we needed a break from space combat for a little while and Narlak and I decided to each try a solo side project. Initially, these projects were supposed to only take 14 months, but here we are 4 years later, oops. When Clanfolk started development, I had been making games for 16 years and had never once touched art or sound or shaders in a game, ever. So I decided that was something I wanted to try. Over time, I think my art has improved, yeah it is coder art, but I like it :) I also wanted to make a game where I could just escape for a while and really care about the inhabitants. Rimworld is an incredibly well made game that came closest to the f…

- Introducing GolfTopia! - 15 October 2019
https://cdn.steampulse.org/steam/apps/1144020/extras/golf_gif_laps.gif?v=1571152659 Hi everyone. A lot of you have been pretty anxious to hear what we’re working on these days. It's finally time for MinMax to announce our new game! GolfTopia is a retro-futuristic golf management sim, tower defense, pinball hybrid from the makers of Space Pirates And Zombies 1 and 2. Check out our Steam page here … https://store.steampowered.com/app/1144020/GolfTopia/ If you’re interested in hearing the story about how we got from space pirates to a futuristic golf course, keep reading … After SPAZ 2 we both felt pretty burnt out on space operas, having worked on SPAZ 1 and 2 for over 8 years combined. We both knew we didn’t want to jump into another SPAZ right away. We wanted to do something different, and not just become a single game studio. For a few months we rolled around several weird ideas,…
- V1.1 The Proving Grounds! - 30 January 2018

New Map! (Hexor) This new 110 territory map is hex based. It is a much more traditional strategic map but it turns out to be quite fun to play as well! It is only available in Sandbox Mode. Engine Boost Changes: We are experimenting with a new boost system that requires 20% boost fuel to start boosting. This is in response to user input that players were holding the boost button down indefinitely in battle because they were overwhelmed or just forgot. This lead to the boost never recharging. Now wh…

- Simplified/Traditional Chinese Added! - 7 December 2017
Hi All, Just a quick note, Traditional and Simplified Chinese are now active language options as of v1.001. There are no other changes in this new version aside from the addition of the two new languages. We are not able to read either of these new languages, so there may be a few translation issues at first, but please let us know if you find any, and we will collect them and have them fixed promptly. We are currently taking some personal time until January. We have finished up with the launch PR campaign and now have a bit of time to relax over the holidays and get our heads back on straight. Happy Holidays everyone! Andrew (Blorf) and Richard (Narlak)

- Now Available on Steam - Space Pirates And Zombies 2 - 9 November 2017
Space Pirates And Zombies 2 is Now Available on Steam! Design and then improve the ultimate mothership. Explore a persistent living galaxy populated by 200 unique captains that can do everything you can do. Survive the zombie infection and then fight them back. Make allies and start your own faction. Build your empire. Also includes Sandbox Mode.
- Space Pirates and Zombies 2 leaves Early Access - 8 November 2017
Released in 2011, Space Pirates and Zombies was more of a good idea than a good game: "Not quite ready for prime time, but with plenty of potential if the right choices are made," as we said in our review . A few years later the opportunity to grow that potential came along in the form of Space Pirates and Zombies 2, which went into Steam Early Access in May 2016 , and yesterday made it into full release.  The launch trailer, I'll admit, is a little baffling, and so too is the description on Steam : The entire galaxy sounds like a George Miller post-apocalypse—infrastructure has collapsed, fuel is scarce, and scavenging means survival—and there are hundreds of fleets in the galaxy all trying to survive, led by captains with all the same abilities as the player.  "As resource scarcity becomes critical, ships come into conflict just to survive. Factions may fo…
- Space Pirates and Zombies 2 blasts off properly - 7 November 2017
Spaceship-building shoot-o-strategy sandbox Space Pirates and Zombies 2 today officially launched, following eighteen months in early access. No, don’t mind the name: this is an interesting game. You build your own spaceship, right, by snapping together bits and pieces. So far, so spaceship. Then you set out to stay alive in a post-spacezombie apocalypse, however you can. Find resources, claim territory, build bases, salvage, trade, befriend factions, break alliances, and shoot spaceships… all while 200 other AI-controlled captains do the same. A bit like Mount & Blade with spaceships. (more…)

Early Access has been a great learning experience for us and we are so thankful for all of you who came along with us for the ride, sharing your ideas and support. SPAZ 2 has been a long haul. 18 months in Early Access, and 18 months as Coming Soon prior to that. So 3 years now we have been on the Steam forums daily taking input on the game, sharing progress, and leaning on you all for support. We feel like we received a massive education in that time. All together SPAZ 2 was in development for 62 months. 62 crazy months. Going forward, we plan to continue to support SPAZ 2. In the short term, we have a Chinese translation almost ready as well as tools to allow players to localize SPAZ 2 themselves into their language of choice. We also want to cr…

Code lockdown has gone really well and the buglists for 1.0 are clear, so it is time to give SPAZ 2 its final 2 weeks in the oven before release. The release should simply be us changing the version number to 1.0 on Novermber 7th, assuming no more critical issues arise. Thanks for your patience with the lockdown. We feel it is the best practice for a clean release. We want to thank everyone who has been there with us over the last 17 months of Early Access. It has been great sharing ideas each day and SPAZ 2 is so much better for it. We really appreciate you all! Andrew (Blorf) and Richard (Narlak)

The month was all about removing those last few hard to find bugs and doing a bit of deeper optimization that was not possible while the codebase was in flux. We have also begun to work on the Mac and Linux builds in the hopes that they will be ready before for the Windows 1.0 release. So lets delve into what's been going on.... Bug Fixes/Changes: Some of these last bugs have been on our list for over a year, but we finally got the time to fix them. It feels great to clear them off the list. Fixed hang when retreating from battle after destroying a starbase. Fixed case where is was possible for loading an autosave to force you into a battle instead of being on the starmap. Fixed rare case where bandit's…
