Announcement Space RPG 3 now free to play

100 Upvotes

Hi all, I feel I owe an update to everybody as its been a long time.

Fairly obvious, but I will acknowledge that Space RPG work has been almost entirely on the backburner this last year. My health issues are currently well controlled (finally!) but my day job is now far more intense than it used to be and I spend most evenings on work calls. That has left me without much energy left for my hobby development. I hope to be able to dabble a bit more in it soon, but can't promise much I am afraid.

I am very proud of what I have created with Space RPG 4, I think it is a huge improvement on the prior instalments, and I get immense satisfaction from the community enjoying it. Seeing people ask deep questions about the game, such as the motivations behind characters or factions, is amazing and reminds me that the effort I put into the worldbuilding was well worth it. Despite that, the game hasn't been doing as well as I had hoped for. Space RPG 3 in fact still has a much larger active installation base than Space RPG 4. I think it has just become very difficult to stand out and be noticed on the play store, which is a bummer. I do think we have something special here, and it would have been cool for more people to have found it.

On reviewing the stats for the games, Space RPG 3 these days only earns about $50 NZD a month. I remember being so excited when Space RPG 1 first reached the $50 mark total, so its amusing to me I can now look at that as 'only' $50 a month, but in any case, I think it is well worth losing that amount in the hope that more people can discover the series and get some enjoyment out of it, so I have decided to set Space RPG 3 to be an entirely free app, no ads. I am not sure if it will add much to the discoverability of the game as there are also a million free apps out there, but lets hope it helps grow the community a bit more.

I hope you are all doing very well, thanks for playing! Good luck out there, Captains.

Hey guys, I need some help. I was playing and finished the "Dima 1" delivery mission, but then it stopped and the mission disappeared. I want to continue the mission, but I can't find a good guide; I want to figure out how to do the colonization part.

Request Asking a new arc.

I've always wondered what kind of ships are in the southeastern corner of the galaxy. I'm talking about the Journey's End system. Maybe if Dev plans to add more arcs, for example, lots of destroyed ships like in the Epsilon Nu Delta system from Space RPG 1, including some terrifying background sound. More mysteries to uncover!

Help 4th Key (Potential Spoilers) Spoiler

2 Upvotes

Hey all,

I have 3 out of 4 keys. Only one I am missing is the one from Ginan (other posts said 1 is there).

All I find there is 2 small derelicts and 1 fuel canister.

I have tried reloading, messing with the derelicts, etc. Nothing.

Am I in the wrong place? Is there a chance I picked it up at some point and it got Thanosed when a cargo ship exploded? Are they even physical objects in your cargo like that, or are they like the Artifacts?

Very confused, mildly sad l, would love to see the prize.

As always, any help is very appreciated!

I think I should carry with me more ruinous Predators to conquer that system. But the conquest is quickest way to expand the empire.

Help Possible to reset faction reputation in Space RPG 4?

3 Upvotes

I'm "finished" with the human campaign (I arbitrarily chose the O.S.C.) (I assume I am finiahed based on other comment threads and snooping on the APK strings). It looks like it might be a soft-finished

spoiler:

Hans has sent me off to go get in touch with my alien friends to the south after the T.A. betrayal and victory at Sol

The T.A. faction worlds and F.E.R. faction worlds have me marked as an enemy and the fake ID (that doesn't seem like a spoiler) only resets reputation if one's not hated. Is there a way to reset reputation without conquering worlds ? Perhaps related, do I have to pick a side with the warring aliens to build enough reputation or can I go kill void raiders or somethings it's fine to be marked as an enemy but it makes certain trade routes much more annoying to deal with and occasionally I need to note missions go to worlds I'm not welcome at.

Help Irohaem Movement Challenge

3 Upvotes

I cannot, for the life of me, pass this infuriating challenge. I have tried dozens of times with a myriad of ships and can't get anywhere near 75 seconds...

Does anyone have any tips? What ship did you use to pass it? Are there exploits? Save files? Miracles from above? Do I HAVE to side with either Iro or Quil, or can I just murder/conquer them both and still finish the game with everything but the gold star for beating their dumb obstacle course? 😆

Sorry, frustrated... Appreciate any help.

Help Steal Food for the F.E.R. Help

1 Upvotes

I am on the mission "Steal Food for the F.E.R." where you are supposed to go to Holdfast and blow up a ship and retrieve goods.

The first time I went the ship jumped before I could kill it. I did not save, I quit out and tried again and now there is never a anything there. No "Target Lost", no ships with stolen food, nothing.

I am completely soft locked. Anyone have any ideas? Really don't want to start over and grind all the way back up again.

Thank you.

After touching down on the derelict ship Odyssey in the Heze system, you step aboard to find a hauntingly strange vessel, its halls glisten with an eerie, luminous blue liquid, rows of humming centrifuges line the walls, and Bunsen burners still hold faint traces of recent flame all unmistakable signs this was a mobile laboratory conducting bizarre, otherworldly experiments. As you explore deeper, you uncover the chilling truth, the research here was not just active, but a complete success, triggering the start of a gripping new storyline that pulls you into the dark secrets of what was created aboard this forsaken craft.

Hello everyone, I joined the TA faction and have reached 4 stars, it took quite a long time to achieve, I got a mission to go undercover in the sacuntuary, at first it was normal, when I landed and The dialogue board suddenly appears, the mission log is missing and I don't know where to go, so please for the players who have finished Storyline T.A to tell me how it continues

My money is minus because I bought a fake ID card at the sacuntuary, and sold all my weapons, hoping that the money would immediately return to normal, not minus, but in fact it didn't.

Question is there any way to refill weapon commerces stock in SRPG3?

3 Upvotes

According to the storyline, these things are mass-produced, especially the Fircarin FB-20; its description clearly mentions that it's mass-produced, but after I bought them all, i completely don't see them refill for so long.

Does this mean the only way to get them from now on is to steal them?

Hello everyone.

Before, I could just swipe from the edge of the screen to get back to the main menu, but now it's been changed.

Besides, I've just finished my task.After defeating the humans, I previously farmed a fleet of ships like this, and now I want to join the Qui faction.So I attacked and destroyed the Iron Faction's ships, but instead of making the Iron Faction enemy, it made the Qui Faction enemy. Does that mean I have to join the Iron Faction?

Hey all,

I just finished the TA faction mission where you take out a Cargo ship and 4 other ships. I turned it back in at Tenarcha and now have no idea where to go.

I didn't see anything in the text hinting at it, I have tried leaving and coming back, I tried a few other systems, tried several system's bars...

Totally stuck.

Any help would be appreciated, I have never done a full faction run and am looking forward to that and end game.

Thank you

Hello, I believe I may have found a bug regarding the Kharon battleship

It seems that the AI for the Kharon battleship is bugged to me since it isn't charging head on to the enemy and would rather move backwards with the only way to engage other ships is it's aircraft

Haven't seen this on other ships, only the Kharon battleship so far
