Deep space 6.

<span class="bold">Halcyon 6: Starbase Commander</span>, a compelling strategy/RPG with lots of space for base building, is available now for Windows, Mac, and Linux, DRM-free on GOG.com, with a 15% launch discount.

Ever been to Halcyon 6? That's where a decommissioned starbase stands looming over the borders of Terran space, left behind by an enigmatic precursor race. An army of aliens is about to make its move against Earth, and Halcyon 6 will become our last hope of defense. Provided that you can upgrade, reinforce it, and bring it back in full working order, Commander.

Halcyon 6 lets you tap into the base's hidden potential by rebuilding and equipping its facilities, then manning them with the most talented crew in the galaxy. The surrounding star clusters are begging to be explored but only venture there if you're ready to tackle the turn-based challenges either with your spaceship or your crew. Perhaps the situation can be peacefully resolved through diplomacy? Or your new alien allies can offer their assistance, if you ask them nicely.

Restore <span class="bold">Halcyon 6</span> to its former glory before you go seeking new challenges in nearby stars, DRM-free on GOG.com.
The 15% launch discount will last until September 20, 12:59 PM UTC.

Wishlisted until I have some time for it (note to GOG: it doesn't appear on wishlist).

Interesting game. Looks like there's a lot of variety to it.

Looks nice. I wonder if system requirements are correct.

Waiting for my backer key too...
I think the way backer keys for GOG are distributed should be improved somehow. We always end up getting them one day (or more) after release.

I suspect the lag is on the dev side. GOG provides ever how many free keys the devs need to fulfill their pledges, but most devs have a very ramshackle system for disbursing those keys. Probably just a list of all backers who requested a DRM-free key, which they then need to mail out one at a time.

An integrated system would be great, but I'm not sure on which side it would be implemented. And it would be a little more complex for GOG to do, because they'd have to expose user info to the devs in a way that the devs could link your KS identity with your GOG one. I suspect that the current mechanism is likely to stay.

WTF is up with all these "Pixelated" games anymore?

You'd think this was the 80's or something - enough already (directed at Devs, not GOG)

Thank you for your comment. I have contacted the developers and they have assured me they'll be removing the game from all distribution platforms. They weren't planning on it initially but when I told them of your distress they knew it was time to pack it up and go home.

They're clearly just wondering why there seems to be an overly increased trend on 'Pixelated' games as of late.

No need to bash them for asking.

edit: I do like the game, so don't think I don't just for saying that. You can't blame people for asking for a pretty 3D game instead, as we all have our own preferences. It is quite obvious that GOG has a high volume of 'pixelated games', and you'd have to be loyally ignorant, or just blind to not see it.

Give it a go, watched a let's play, ticks a bunch of boxes.
So far it's been pretty good fun, not sure how it with hold up longevity wise.
Worth the asking price.
