- Finally, voice acted main story is here! - 20 July 2020
Hello everyone, It certainly has been a long delay because of the Covid crisis. I don´t know how you have been handling it, but we have been on a full-on quarantine for around four months, which has been, well, devastating to our productivity. But let´s not focus on that, let´s go straight to what is important. The fully voice-acted campaign is here! As promised, we are releasing a branch of the game in which you can enjoy the main story of Element: Space with full voice acting. There are also some additional features we will give you, although it´s important to remind you that those are still a work-in-progress. Still, we´d rather let you have a peak on a functional-yet-unfinished feature rather than keep it to ourselves. You want to know why? Because if this crisis has taught us anything is this: we don´t know what will happen tomorrow, and we will rather give you as much as we can in…
- Element Space is out on PS4 and X1, and soon will be out on PC... - 26 March 2020
Hello everyone! Element Space has finally released on PS4 and X1, and we couldn´t be happier about it. Our partners at Blowfish Studios have done an awesome job and will keep on at it as strongly as they have so far. In the meantime, our team is dedicated to finishing the last touches and fixes to bring you an updated and voice-acted PC version, but I have to tell you that we are facing a slight delay on this. Feels like living on space station! The quarantine we are living in (which is full-on in our country) has affected the lives of every member of the team (covid-19 even made an appearance, so imagine that...) and it had an impact in our work schedule that was stronger than first expected. With everyone working from homes and our server working a-ok, we still keep on advancing to bring you what was promised. It will take longer than a week, but we´ll keep you posted as we move forwa…
- Element Space hits PS4 and X1. So for PC: Voice Acting and debugged re-release! - 22 February 2020
Hello everyone! My name is Javier, I am the creator of Element Space, and it is great to finally address you all. This has been a long time coming... but the time is finally here. First, I want to personally apologize for the delay on getting the game back on track, To be absolutely honest, we had some internal problems a few months after the game was released (both inside our studio and in our home country, Argentina) which led to us to stop focus on updating the game and get as much outsourcing work as possible to keep the studio running. I don´t want to sound like I´m making up excuses, but I hope you can be open-minded about it. When a crisis hits and you have to survive, it´s important to understand that sometimes in life you have to concede a lot of time to reach a goal in the long haul. We had to make a choice. With our reduced numbers we either could fix a few bugs at a time or…

- Release Notes & Thoughts - 21 February 2019
Hello players! We wanted to take a minute of your time and talk about Element:Space a bit. It is our first game as an indie studio, so we are very thankful to all of you who have been following us and playing it. Thanks you so much! We will continue improving the game When we started making Element: Space we wanted to make a game with its own identity. Our source material includes a series of characters with incredible abilities, which immediately drew us in to create a game based on the use of these skills and their interactions. We recognise there’s room for improvement to better bring to light what we see and love about our game, so that you can experience it too. Our commitment to making Element: Space the best it can be is a fact. Bugs We are mainly working on bugs reported by you, new ones that had not appeared in our QA supplier reviews or even by in our internal QA department. W…

- Element: Space tactically exits early access today - 14 February 2019
Tactical RPG Element: Space quietly snuck out of early access today, after a short but eventful stint in public production. The debut game from new independent studio Sixth Vowel, it’s hard not to make comparisons to Firaxis’s XCOM after looking at the screenshots and trailer. However, after playing a chunk of the game in the run-up to launch, I found myself surprised that while XCOM is invoked, this may have more in common with Ubisoft’s Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle, but with more politics. See the launch trailer below, and let me explain that odd comparison a bit further. (more…)
