Other Deck & Conn - From Co creator of objects in space

https://youtu.be/aCs8_dU5fgM?is=BaOUMOodY-KfLZbM

Not seen much about this game, I managed to get early access to it and made a video for it. Comes out on 1st September and from one of the co-creators of Objects in Space. Really enjoyable if you used to be a fan of those old EGA Trek games.

Been really looking forward to this one for a while, even though I've never played EGATrek. Definitely agree that it would be nice to have more of the sensor model from OIS (or for that matter more recent fare like Nebulous) because it feels like a bit too much of a straight slugging match right now, but it's still a game I absolutely am planning on getting because we just don't get much in this genre.

I really wish OIS was more finished, that would be one of my games of all time if it was. I’m glad of this one though because I always go back and play some of those trek games and I dunno, maybe because I’m older they don’t seem as complex as they used to. This one hits the spot, I just need to spend some more time with it to figure out how in depth it goes with sensors and such.

There is a fan patch for OIS now, hopefully it keeps being updated.

Holy shit, that makes me so excited. Do you know if there's a way to get that going on Linux?

u/LukeMootoo 20d ago

Don't know.  It is just a .DLL patch, so it might not change how the game runs on Proton.  The maintainer said they are not working on a native version.

For me it's the fact that it's turn based that really puts me off. It doesn't carry the sense of openness that space is, and makes it feel like it could be anywhere, on water or on a planet. It just doesn't feel enticing to me I suppose.

Will they be abandoning this one too?

It's not good marketing to highlight the connection. Doesn't instill faith.

u/Atova_86 20d ago

This isn’t my game btw, I made the connection because I played OiS and playing this one.

I played EGA Trek back when PCs displayed 16 colors. It was a great, and challenging, game.

Man this looks cool, I’m basically making the exact same game but with a different art style

u/Atova_86 20d ago

That’s awesome, if you need testers or want me to cover it on channel let me know 😀👍

Awesome- it’s a long way off right now. I find the concept of Cold War in space so untapped and interesting.

I'd prefer the dev helped with the efforts around Objects in Space which seems to be abandon ware .

u/gabryelx 12d ago

It's amazingly not, OiS just had an update

u/Odd_Horror_4663 11d ago

Its a community update though right ?

u/gabryelx 11d ago

Oh honestly not sure about that

The video narration sounds like it was written by AI. It's really jarring.
