Hooded Horse publishing the space action RPG C-Beams

Hooded Horse recently revealed they're publishing C-Beams, an upcoming space action RPG that looks and sounds really interesting for sci-fi fans. They continue to be one of my favourite publishers!

In this one you step into a future where humanity is reaching out to the stars, and the discovery of a mysterious system sparks a frenzied gold rush among corporations, governments, and pilots brave enough to amass great fortunes in the face of hazardous anomalies and hostile competitors. As a new pilot with nothing to lose, players must decide how to carve their legacy in this unforgiving frontier. Sounds exactly like the kind of space sim I love and the combat in this looks awesome.

Game Highlights:

• Pilot one of several upgradable ship types with realistic handling and Newtonian physics controls.
• Explore a vast system filled with asteroid fields, space stations, planets, and more through a network of interconnected jump points.
• Engage in chaotic ship-to-ship combat. Make use of environmental cover and weapons ranging from short-range Gatling turrets to long-range guided missiles and the titular C-Beam lasers.
• The game offers multiple ways to specialize, whether that be in mining, hauling, trading, or combat.
• Develop skills, tackle missions, and earn a reputation with the various factions vying for dominance within the system.

From the press release:

“We feel supported, trusted, and surrounded by people with real passion for the game at Hooded Horse,” says Goldberg. “While the foundation of the relationship is a business deal, it feels like we’ve met a great group who genuinely want to help us make an amazing game, and the vibe has been fantastic.

"C-Beams is the perfect combination of freedom, action, hard sci-fi, and gorgeous spaceships,” says Hooded Horse CEO Tim Bender. “I'm normally awful at games requiring any kind of coordination, yet I love this one; it's so damn good."
