If you can't find your homeworld, set course for the Off-World Resource Base.

O.R.B. Off-World Resource Base, a space strategy with epic three-dimensional combat and a huge dynamic universe, is available right now for only $5.99.

Harmony versus adversity. Egalitarianism versus individualism. Democracy versus discipline. Science versus strength. Seeking wisdom versus raw power. Alyssians versus Malus. Both races believed themselves to be the rightful rulers of the universe but soon discovered they were not alone. One will prevail. One will relent. Wisdom versus power--choose your side and fight.

O.R.B. Off-World Resource Base will definitely interest all space explorers with a tasteful fusion of RTS and space exploration. Your job is simple: find resources, conduct research, create spaceships (preferably huge). Discover planets, moon, asteroid belts, debris fields. After you're done with campaigns, script your own scenarios in the editor. Even ship logos are customizable! Decent space strategies are rare, and usually just copy and repeat other games. When you hear 'space strategy' you immediately think 'Homeworld' and O.R.B. might appear to you as a clone, but it's something else. Not entirely else, but different and enjoyable, and after playing you will dream both of these games had a digital downloadable baby.

For now, we invite you to download O.R.B. Off-World Resource Base from GOG.com for only $5.99 and space out!
I think I recall the title, though I can't recall the game. Let's see what the next release will be though.

My RSS feed claims Avernum was today's first release (498) and O.R.B. was today's second release (499). Thus the next release contains "Booby traps. Booby." or something like that, thus waiting for it.
Never heard of it but it looks good. Might bag it at the weekend!
499 it is.
Nice, never heard of it but it sounds interesting, wish-listed for now.

Pulled from the script for TWoG s2e01:

"We have a very special release coming for our 500th game next week. Well, it's not a platformer but you'll need to keep a close eye on all of the BOOBIE traps. BOOBIE. Traps. I think you get the idea."

I just noticed that I apparently misspelled "booby." Can you tell when you hear me read it? :P
Looks interesting might pick this up in the future.

As was so nicely put in a "Lie to Me" episode
- There. At the end. Did you hear that?
- Yes. He smiled.
(Can't recall exact words, but we did hear your mirth at boobie traps).

Is that some sort of clue, or is that just you being enigmatic? lol.

Not really me being clever, no. Just noticed I'd misspelled that in the original script.

I thought that they were improvised. There's more than meets the eye with that backstage production. That intern's going to have some learning to do.
