BLACK MARKET HD


After 2 years of effort, several name changes and mechanic revisions its finally done, and to say thanks to everyone who has supported us along the way we have done a High Def downloadable version of the game also.

Check it out if you get a chance, the requirements are much higher than the flash version so If you cant run the HD version check out the flash version, they are identical apart from resolution/effects.  Love to hear what you guys think!

Just grabbed this because Tim over at IndieGames said it was a bit like Weird Worlds - which I farkin' loved! Will try later as I'm at work now. Sad

Yea its actually fairly similar to Weird Worlds too, minus the random generation and all that, tradewinds series comes to mind also, probably closer to the original tradewinds I think, due to the whole, world map, docking scene, battle scene type game layout.

Is this free / the full version? By all indications it looks like it is. What's a little confusing to me is that I remember playing the flash version a while back and you could pay for updates or something to that effect.

Either way, I enjoyed the flash game and going to check out the HD version regardless. Great job with the game.

I forgot how amazing this looks. Downloading the hd version now.

I was also under the impression that it was going to be a commercial game as well. or have some form of paid content. any reason why you decided not to do that?

Its shareware, just has a really big free segment, we want people to enjoy it for free and I guess, not feel pressured into purchasing the extra levels/content/etc, it fucks me off when games don't have decent demos.  That being said, I think there's decent reason to get the paid content, an extra 15-20 hours of gameplay, new locations, weapons, ships, etc.  We shall see how it goes I guess.
