While sticking to our guns of easy-to-pick-up-and-play space action with top-notch visuals and audio at its core, we bring in roguelike elements and nonlinear storytelling to Everspace. We also wanted to distinguish ourselves from the big space sims already out there, or still in-the-making. However, with Everspace, we did not just want to deliver more of the same that we did on mobile, but try something really new on PC and console. So, we have been doing space games that were super popular for more than 10 years, and we wanted to build on that long pedigree. We won tons of awards and got critical acclaim from mobile gamers from all around the globe we were even more successful a few years later bringing it to iOS, Android, BlackBerry, and Symbian – totaling 30 million installs combined.

We had tremendous technical limitations, but it is fair to say that the games in the Galaxy on Fire series were the most advanced 3D titles on mobile phones back then. Michael Schade: We have a long history with space shooters: Galaxy on Fire came out in 2005 for feature phones, followed by Galaxy on Fire 2 in 2008. Xbox Wire: How did the idea for Everspace come about? Believe us: This is going to be one to keep an eye on. We recently had a chance to sit down with Rockfish Games’ CEO Michael Schade, to discuss the company’s history, Everspace’s development, and the future of the roguelike as a mainstream genre.

And today, we’re thrilled to announce that Everspace is part of Microsoft’s program – which means it’s headed to Xbox One and Windows 10 PC in 2016. It’s already a huge deal, too, with a successful crowdfunding campaign that’s netted the developer more than $500,000 (and counting).

Rockfish Games is breaking new ground with Everspace, an upcoming action game that marries the intensity of the space shooter with the mega-intensity of the roguelike (which is shorthand for “infinitely replayable, procedurally generated games with permadeath elements, influenced by the classic Rogue”).
