We have a few missile weapons already, so we gave the Cruise Missile this new high-arc path to make it feel unique. (And a lot cooler, tbh). What do you think of the change? #WishlistWednesday

Asteroids have a tendency to leave dents (or worse) in the hulls of careless pilots, so it’s only fair we give you a way to fight back against these inanimate, metamorphic menaces. ☄️ Here’s an early look at a new feature: destructible asteroids! #screenshotsaturday #indiedev

In our spacefaring #roguelike, Project Starborn, pilotable ships are divided into three classes: frigates, cruisers, and battleships! Generally speaking, larger classes offer better survivability and a higher weapons-platform capacity at the cost of mobility. 💥🚀

Second Shift Games @secondshiftgames.bsky.social · 14/06/2025

Combining augments is key to your survival in Project Starborn! For example, combine 💥 Worldbreaker Payload (+blast radius -fire rate) and 🚀 Nuclear Warheads (lingering radiation) for a surefire way to lock down a sector (and destroy bitrate)! #screenshotsaturday #indiedev
