SpaceDeck X is coming to an arcade cabinet

I want your coins!

I'm making a game. It is called SpaceDeck X and you can try it online. But thanks to Amsterdam Indie Arcade, it will be available on a physical arcade cabinet at Blast Galaxy.

It will be released on the 14th of June with a small release party and hi-score tournament. If you are in Amsterdam, be sure to come and check it out. It will be available for the next two months, then a new indie game will take its place.

Hi-Score Tournament #

We are going to organize a hi-score tournament. The Indie Arcade organizer asked me if I could come up with a fun prize for the winner, so I did:

Hi score tournament trophy, 3D printed ship from the game on a stand

I designed and 3D printed the main player ship from the game on a little pedestal. It was super fun figuring out how to bring my pixel art to the real world and break it down for 3D printing. The model is made in JavaScript using Replicad.

Come and claim the trophy on the 14th!

Steam Release #

The arcade release is just a pit stop. I'm actively working towards a Steam release, so stay tuned!
