- Truck-kun is Supporting Me from Another World?! Is OUT NOW! - 29 July 2026
Hello, friends!Today is the day! We are incredibly proud to bring Truck-kun to you along with a sing along trailer!If this is your first time hearing about our lil’ Truck you play as The Driver who hits anime fan and new Head of Marketing Carissa Ward with your truck and transported her consciousness to a world of fantasy and magic! Rather than accept her fate, gathering a party and going on a journey of growth and self-discovery, Carissa uses all her knowledge of anime tropes and Japanese RPGs to find a different path: Unrepentant Vehicular Manslaughter. This game is our love letter to the isekai anime we love, along with a Dreamcast infused arcade driving game. We hope you enjoy it! See you out there - Chris @ Strange Scaffold
- Voice Control is OUT NOW! - 3 June 2026
Hello Traders, Get ready to shout at babies in a new and exciting way.* Today, we're launching our Voice Command support out of beta. We are beyond grateful to everyone who provided feedback on this feature during the testing period. Your input was invaluable! Simply turn on the feature from the Audio menu, pick your input device, lean back, and navigate the entire Space Warlord Baby Trading Experience with just your voice. Get back out there and let those babies know that you just hit the Short button and it would be VERY rude of them to suddenly have a great life. - Mike @ Strange Scaffold * Again, and I can't stress this enough, please do not shout at actual babies. I feel like I shouldn't have to keep saying this. - Chris
- Voice Control Beta Available NOW - 27 April 2026
Hello, Traders!From the moment we announced Space Warlord Baby Trading Simulator some of you asked “but will there be Kinect support?”, which had been in Organ Trading Sim. Sadly, the Kinect wasn’t something we could develop for this time but we did say we were working on something else that might scratch that same itch so…It’s time to SHOUT THAT BABY!Today, we're launching a beta for a voice command feature that will allow you to buy, sell, and short, fully navigate the Space Warlord Baby Trading Simulator menus, hire consultants, visit the Nursery of Fame, and much, much more. This is not directly available in the game because we’d love to get your help to test it all out first! To do this, you’re going to need to access a new build and you’d better believe the games producer, Mike, has written up exactly how you can do that…take it away, Mike! HI! My name is Mike and I'm the lead pro…

We loved and believed in our little gremlin of a game but you really never know how something is going to be received. Especially when that little gremlin is called Space Warlord Baby Trading Simulator.The game has more than doubled the amount of stuff it launched with and all the while you’ve been out there shorting babies, making videos, posting about the game, leaving reviews and telling your friends. So here at the jump we really want to say a huge thank you for everything.

Hello, traders! Oh Grumble, while I love that I got to write the subtitle "Citizen Grumble will no longer make you grumble", this is not what I wanted for any of us. So, we have a very quick hotfix for you all that should fix the issue many were having playing the Grumble campaign.Citizen Grumble Campaign will no longer skip to Day 9 and be unplayable.Again, thank you all for being quick to report the bugs and working with us to find the problem! If you find any other issues, as usual, right here on Steam or on our Discord are the best places to report them. See you out there, - Chris @ Strange Scaffold

Hello, traders! It’s a glorious day that you don't need to pay Chad Shakespeare a cut of, it’s SCENARIOS DAY plus some some additional fixes*! “What’s a scenario”, one may reasonably ask, well, if you don’t think I’m about to tell you then our relationship has got off on the wrong foot. Scenario mode is our sandbox for providing you new challenges, each of which has a twist. Unlike the campaigns you’re not making money for someone else, this is pure baby trading. Pick your portrait and your title and get trading. We’ve got six scenarios to start with, which you'll unlock once you complete Pixem and Mr. Zip-It's campaigns. Here's what we have waiting for you in this first batch:Get In, Get Out: You've got three days to make as much cash as possible.Adopted Hometown: Pick any planet on Day 1, but that's the only place you can trade for the remaining five days.Red Ocean: Every day, you'll…

Hello, traders! Firstly, thank you to everyone who has already jumped into the game on launch day! The whole team are sat watching your streams, comments and posts with huge smiles on our faces. THANK YOU! So, let's talk post about launch content. As a statement sounds way more serious than I'd like. Like I've asked you to "take a seat" or "can I have a quick word?". I don't know why I'm explaining this now, you can clearly see the image below. Let's just focus on that and what's written under it. This is like a secret little bit that only we've read! Wait, is this bonus content? No. But this is!We will have at least two months of free updates and content coming out with two new campaigns coming out next week! I'm particularly excited about the daily challenge mode as I've seen some of the stuff the team is testing out and it's...well, you'll see. Again, thank you all so much for suppor…
- Space Warlord Baby Trading Simulator is OUT NOW! - 29 January 2026
Hello, traders! Space Warlord Baby Trading Simulator is HERE! I asked Xalavier Nelson Jr., the Head of Strange Scaffold, for a comment on this most auspicious day. "This is one of the best games we've ever made, and I have no idea how to explain it to my newborn child. What am I gonna tell them? That it wasn't based on their life? That it was?

There will be a minimum of two months worth of post-launch support kicking off with weekly DLC. The first taste is free and then…well, they’re free updates so the second taste will be free as well.February 5: Two new campaignsFebruary 12: A new game mode with a number of challenging scenariosFebruary 19: Two new campaigns, more scenarios, and the addition of a daily challenge mode.
