Hello Bastards, A new major progression system has arrived in Ore Bastards: Artifacts . Artifacts are extremely rare and unusual objects that can be discovered while exploring the galaxy.

Each Artifact provides its own combination of bonuses and a un…
Something has changed in the way we measure the value of games. And I’m not sure when it happened. Back in the 1990s, paying full price for a game that lasted 10–20 hours was completely normal.

Today, thing…

Hi Bastards! We’ve released a small update focused on player feedback, usability, and accessibility. Mission Navigation Improvements Mission location information in Ship Info > Jobs is now much easier to recognize as an interactive button.

In our previous projects, player feedback often helped us identify better solutions, improve existing systems, and discover ideas we might never have reached on our own. We are especially excited to continue this approach with Ore Bastards throughout Early Access. The reports, suggestions, and discussions sha…
