About Starship Commander: Arcade

The Arcade Experience finally comes home! Starship Commander: Arcade is a cinematic, choose-your-own-adventure narrative, inspired by classic PC adventure games like Day of the Tentacle and Telltale's Walking Dead series. Go faster-than-light on an adventure through space, as you infiltrate an alien spy facility on a top-secret mission.

Want to role-play as a serious and stoic commander? A brash and argumentative hard-ass? Or just troll the game every chance you get? The open dialogue system allows you to speak freely into the microphone, and the NPCs react accordingly. No dialogue wheels, no clunky controls, just natural conversation.

COMMAND YOUR STORY
Want to know more about your ship and the lore? Just ask Sergeant Sarah Pearson. Ready to blow things up? Just say "Let's go." You command the story, at your pace and with your style, using a next-gen AI system developed by Microsoft and Human Interact. The future of adventure games is here, today.
ACTION AWAITS
Command the XR71, the galaxy's most advanced fighter, on a mission to infiltrate and destroy the Ecknian spy facility at all costs. Your choices and your performance determine who lives and who dies.

VISUALLY STUNNING
Made in Unreal Engine 4, and with outstanding visuals designed by AAA game industry veterans, STARSHIP COMMANDER has been meticulously crafted to have a lived-in feel. Mechanical engineers and experienced concept artists worked hand-in-hand to craft the rich environments which you will traverse.

NEW HOME FEATURES
Steam Achievements, and a non-VR mode makes the 15 minute original VR arcade classic more accessible and fun than ever. Included along with the package is a documentary called "Passion at All Costs", about the VR industry as well as the development of Starship Commander from its inception in 2015 to the Steam release today in 2020.

Voice recognition is not properly responsive and the game don't give you any information on the commands. With 75% discount ~2$ its good demo experience with ok visuals.

Oh wow. I was watching a training video about conversational AI and the maker of this thing came on a talked about how much better the game was because of this new tech. So bad. Worse than any voice rec bot on a phone line. I was shocked. So, so, very bad. Wish I read reviews first. Save your cash!

[h1]Tldr;[/h1] Starship Commander: Arcade caught my attention while going through the AI-900 certification training materials. It instantly sparked my interest. With a little help from my AI, I found and immediately purchased the game—it's precisely the kind of AI application I'm passionate about. Figuring out the integration of AI into gaming, particularly in crafting game narratives, is something I am looking into personally. This proof-of-concept arcade game was a fun experience and demonstrated a lot of potential. However, I believe there's room for refining and further developing these ideas, even within the game's current framework. Just a note: I don't have a VR headset, so I had to rely on a computer screen and mouse. [h1]The Deets:[/h1] Starship Commander: Arcade is a VR game that makes innovative use of natural language processing (NLP) to steer the game. It’s like a hint at the future of interactive storytelling, where the game boundaries get thinner while the immersion gets thicker.

Games like Portal 2 all share one habit: teach a single impossible trick, then spend a campaign breaking it. From rewinding objects through time to Escher geometry that loops back on itself.

Planet Coaster DLC: skip the collection, buy the packs

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
