SPACETEAM!!!!

The Mattador

So this past week I had the opertunity to play the ios app "SPACETEAM" and it was amazing. For those who don't know about it you can read more about it here:penny-arcade.com/report/editorial-article/spaceteam or just read the PA comic:http://art.penny-arcade.com/photos/i-TTXdPHZ/0/950x10000/i-TTXdPHZ-950x10000.jpg

My question is anyone interested in joining a space team at pax east this year?

SnazzyGent

You can count me in. We'll need an awesome SPACETEAM SPACENAME, though.

Not sure if I would be in for a meet up since it depends on what my group is doing, but this is a great idea and I tweeted the handheld lounge account about maybe setting up a tourney for this.

The Mattador

You know my friends and I were talking about a tournament. Great minds think alike. It's just polishing over the rules.
It could be as simple as "which team makes it further in space" but there is also a tally of team accomplishments at the end. And each accomplishment can give you points or negate points depending on if it is positive or negitive.

Here is a list of the accomplishments

Total Time:
Instructions Completed:
Asteroids Avoided:
Asteroids Hit:
Wormholes Avoided:
Wormholes Hit:
Panel Disasters:
Dangling Panels Fixed:
Unnecessary Changes:

Space Team will be the line game of PAX East 2013. My only concern is for the amount of Space Team being played there will likely be some very confused orders being made to each other...

Kythos

Heck, after watching that video, I'd be interested in joining a Spaceteam...team.

I'd love some Spaceteam, but there's no Android port, unfortunately.

itzerokewl

I have Spaceteam downloaded, but don't have anyone local I can play with I can't wait to get to PAX East to start playing...maybe get some practice in a Pre-Pax Gaming night (assuming this is a thing again this year.)

zerzhul

There's already a thread about it, it's definitely a thing

I am not sure if I should be worried or even more excited. Also I agree (and hope) that this should be THE app to have for East 2013.

Showed the game off to a few friends tonight and it was pretty fantastic.

Really hope there is a tourney of some sort.

Hi guys,
I'm also planning to be at PAX East and will likely have a small booth to show off some new Spaceteam features and sell some t-shirts.
Maybe I'll see some of you there!

Never heard of it until I read the article and watched the video. Looks like a lot of fun - count me in!

nimrodblack

I have been waiting to use this app since I heard about it a couple weeks ago and snagged it. There is sits on my phone...waiting. This was just the kind of thread I was hoping to see.

polaris314

I am VERY much looking forward to finally traveling to PAX with an iPhone, Spaceteam being among one of the perks. Count me in!

gonexall

I'm definitely interested in this. I'm there as long as we can find a time that does not conflict with a "can't miss" event.

Awesome. I'll be sure to stop by. Keep us posted on where the booth is once that info is available (or if anyone else finds out).

The Mattador

Not sure if there was a thread about it or not but anyone interested in getting some rules down for a tourney?

Does anyone know if an android version of this game will be coming out? I was at a game night with the local reddit meetup and a group of them were all playing...it was hilarious listening to them - I needs this on android!

Scoots

At the moment, all I have to say is "Mwahahahahaha".

redfield85

I really can't wait.

Can you comment on if it will be team based and how many per team?

The Mattador

Well the game can't be played without other people so it wold need to be team based. The max number of players is 4 and playes best with that number. So I hope it will be teams of 4.

Scoots

It will be team based. How large it slightly yet to be decided. Henry Smith has some, lets say, tricks up his dev sleeve.

redfield85

I really can't wait. My friends will be happy to hear.

Bark

Sound like fun!

ilta

YES. I will definitely be spaceteaming it all the way.

The Mattador

So not sure who has seen the new update but they just added deterministic mode (great for competitions) witch lets you and your team pick a number from 1 to 2 million and any other team that picks that number will have "a disturbing similar space adventure." Which will be good for a comp at pax!

That and up to 8 people on a mission now.

I can't find an android version. I use android and I would very much appreciate this on android too!

zeromyst

Was playing this other day with a co-worker at lunch. We were definitely getting some crazy stares from other co-workers, lol. Hope to play with some of you at East.

I won't be able to make the tournament, but finding new Spaceteams to join and checking out the Spaceteam booth are at the top of my priorities list.

I will almost definitely be down for this... Yes...

ViciousEin02

This is my first time hearing about this and i gotta say this sounds like alot of fun. Count me in for this, I would be down to make a random Spaceteam up.

I'm sure it'll be rampant in the HH Lounge, and we also have a tourney!

Do we have to have team to sign up for tourney? I'm coming to PAX solo this year, so, if I need a team, I'd be interested to hear from others who need to find team members.

No Android version yet. Stop by their booth and let them know you want one. Kickstarter?

As another soloist, I will also need a team... a space team.
