We're very very happy to announce the return of Space Pirates from Tomorrow to the Xbox LIVE Marketplace Indie Games channel!  We've implemented loads of gamer suggestions, including lots of customisation options for controls and UI elements, and fixed all the reported problems people found with the game following the initial release.  We hope you all enjoy the "new and improved" game, and a huge thankyou to everyone here, in the XNA Creators Club, on Twitter and on Facebook for all your support and encouragement over what's been a pretty tough few weeks for us.  Content for the game will begin appearing soon, so keep coming back.  We'll also be running some code competitions over the weekend so if you haven't downloaded the game yet, what are you waiting for?

Space Pirates from Tomorrow - removal from martketplace PDF Print E-mail

It's with a heavy heart that we've taken the decision to remove Space Pirates from Tomorrow from the Xbox LIVE Marketplace due to an unacceptably large number of crash reports we've recieved.  This is actually quite an easy decision to make, even though we've only been on the marketplace for a few days.  We've said all along that our number one priority is to make games which are of a high quality and we've clearly failed in this regard.  The only thing we can do at this point is say a very, very big sorry to everyone who's tried the game and been disappointed.

We started working on a "polish" update on Friday which implements a fix to the "hang on startup when your xbox is connected to a 3rd party media share" issue, along with increased motion cues in free space and adding a Y-Axis invert to the game options, and we've had other requests to add a colourblind option to the game.  We're going to implement these changes, along with fixing the reported crashes, before we even approach release testing for the next build of the game.

Again, we want to offer our sincere appologies to everyone who's disappointed with the game - we're very disappointed too although we know that's little consolation to those who took an interest and were let down by the performance of the game.  We take complete responsibility for the problems which people are seeing and the only thing we can do as an indie lable who want to be taken seriously is to remove the game from the marketplace, fix the problems and try again.

Thank you to everyone who's taken an interest in our game.  We hope to be back on the marketplace within 3 weeks, but we're not going to rush unnessecarily back to the marketplace until we're 100% confident that the game is completely working.

With regards,
DrMistry
