Phew. The demo for our space strategy, FTL-like, 4X-style arcade game, COSMIST was approved by Steam before the Next Fest, in three weeks. So we can finally focus on finalizing the full game.

Right now, we’re testing out the layout design for sectors where you pick next battles. We have two options at the moment.

Please swipe through the images to see them:

1/ More like FTL or Zet Zillions, with connected sectors.
2/ An off-beat design that displays a planet with maybe some short descriptions.

The screenshots are WIPs, of course, not final designs. 

Which one to choose? Your opinion means a lot to us! Thank you!

Hey everyone,

You might remember our space strategy, FTL-like, 4X-style arcade game COSMIST which is already available to wishlist on Steam.

We’re finally ready to show our demo next month, and we’re looking for streamers who would be interested in playing our game on demo release day and during the upcoming STEAM NEXT FEST.

My question is: could you please recommend your favourite streamers who love space strategy or 4X games? Or if you are a streamer even with a super small audience feel free to contact me.

Our demo is not too long, about 20–30 minutes, but we made it as replayable as possible while we continue working on the full game, which will include a story, PvP, lots of new adventures, quests, assets, generals and more.

I would really love to hear any recommendations.

Thank you!

I’ve been experimenting with an ASCII world generator that can adapt to different themes and scenarios.

Right now I have:

- classic fantasy

- northern gothic style (winter)

- pirate-themed maps (islands)

It’s been fun seeing how the same system can shift the feel of the world just by changing the context.

I’m looking for more ideas, what genres or settings would you like to see in ASCII form?

Anything weird or niche is welcome.

Thank you!

I’ve been experimenting with a small ASCII roguelike prototype focused on procedural events, AI-generated interactions and terminal-style gameplay.

So far the game already has:

- procedural world generation
- random events
- inventory system
- NPC quests
- a main objective for the player

It’s still very early, but I’m thinking about releasing a tiny playable demo soon.

What should I add before releasing a demo?

I’m building a small ASCII roguelike powered by AI for quests, where the world, terrain, encounters and events are generated procedurally and I’m trying to keep the visual language very readable.

Right now, I’m choosing a symbol for neutral NPCs.

What character would you pick for NPCs in an ASCII roguelike?

Thank you!
