| Check my new game: Void Marauders | 2022-03-29 | My new game "Void Marauders" has been released in Early Access. In this game you lead a squad of space pirates across several star systems: board ships or raid colonies, sell your well earned loot to pay your soldiers and buy new weapons and upgrades. Be careful though, pirates are fickle and could throw through an airlock if they don't trust you as their captain. I know this has little to do with Nomad Fleet but if you want to try a new game set in space (this time turn based) you may like to take a look at this one: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1482820/Void_Marauders/ Cheers, Jorge |
| 50% discount for this week | 2016-08-01 | Hi Nomad Fleet is 50% off for this week. I also lowered the base price to $ 9.99 in response to some recent negative reviews. I also want to say I'm sorry if the game disappoint you, it was my first game but I know that's no excuse when you charge for it. I can only say that I hope to improve as a developer and make a better game for next time. ------------------------------------------------------------- My objective as a one man developer remains the same: stay in the industry even if I don't make much with my games so I started a new project before I run out of money. Its called Beastmancer and is a monster tamer tactical RPG, if you want |
| Nomad Fleet finally released! | 2016-04-19 | After 9 months of Early Access, Nomad Fleet is finally released! I want to thank all the people that supported me during the development, you know who you are, the ones that thanked me for making patches despite that I shouldn't be thanked for doing my job. Your support was deeply appreciated. I want to also thank the people that keep their criticism civil. I know what's that a game doesn't meet your expectations and that is tempting to insult the developer (for example, call him lazy).I'm sorry that my game didn't reach your expectations but I also thank you for not going with the easy route of insulting. Its hard to be a one man show but I |

| Alternate Ending, Hybrid Fleet and more! | 2016-04-16 | http://i.imgur.com/OjkTy1D.png Hi For this week's patch I added several things: - A new unlockable fleet: The Hybrids. A whole new set of ships that combine human and Xeno technology. - Alternate ending for the campaign. This ending can be unlocked by reaching the Hypergate with the Hybrid fleet.

| Achievements! | 2016-02-17 | http://i.imgur.com/ar5lIEu.png Hi For this week's patch I added: - 13 achievements. - Mothership and carriers will stop for a few seconds when fighters and harvesters are docking instead of cancelling their movement completely. - You can now move the camera up or down (using keys C and V by default). - Changed way to draw UI lines. Nothing more to add at the moment, I still keep working in the game so keep the feedback coming. Even if the game has been a sales failure so far I think I can deliver a complete game soon so please keep reporting any problems you found so I can add them to my to-do list. Regards, Jorge |

| More scenarios and a new faction | 2016-02-02 | http://i.imgur.com/uKNQyAQ.png Hi For this week's patch I made these fixes and additions: - 3 new scenarios (one of them, a shipyard encounter where you can buy new ships). http://i.imgur.com/JbZZMCJ.png - The Lost Fleet will appear locked now, that's because I added the scenario that you need to finish to unlock it. http://i.imgur.com/5XhkuVd.png - New Faction: The Syndicate. This corporate faction uses mostly heavy multipurpose capital ships and its goal is to protect trading convoys, mining operations, etc. I'm barely starting to adding Syndicate related content but the idea is that you can make business with them or attack them to get som |

| Small camera patch | 2015-12-30 | Hi I've been busy creating new content but since is not ready yet I wanted to upload a pair of fixes to the camera while you wait. I think these fixes should improve the controls experience a bit: - Smoother zoom in and out. - Focusing the camera in more than one ship will average the view on all of them instead of focusing in a single one. Regarding the new content, I'm preparing a new faction, its... provisional name will be the Syndicate, they are a group of corporations that decided to band together in order to protect their trade convoys and mining operations, they will be neutral to the player at the start but they will change their sta |

| The Lost Fleet unlocked! | 2015-11-23 | http://i.imgur.com/H7BwfW0.png "Only after many losses the Earth and core planets would unite their fleets under a single banner but the damage was already done..." As a taste of the new content I'm making, here's the first unlockable fleet. The idea is that this fleet will be unlocked by the player by finishing a special scenario but since that mission is not ready yet I decided to unlock it early and in that way get some feedback about the ships. The main differences with the default fleet is that in this case the Mothership is way stronger by having several flak turrets and a siege cannon (that can fire long range explosive rounds that cos |

| New beams and skyboxes | 2015-09-12 | http://i.imgur.com/OQXiciw.gif Hi For this week I have a patch with some graphical improvements and minor tweaks: - New beam weapons for destroyers and dreadnaughts replace the old laser cannons (not only a cosmetical change, they also work differently). - Replaced several skyboxes. http://i.imgur.com/jecb5O2.png - Now focusing the camera on a ship won't make an instant close up (it will start at a certain distance to reduce disorientation). - Reduced turning speed for several capital and supercapital ships (including Mothership). - Height lines on tactical map (shown when you are giving a movement order) will start from the current selection |

| Random campaign map ready! | 2015-09-01 | Hi There's a new patch available with these changes: - Added randomized campaign map (only works with new games, if you load a game made before the patch you'll see the regular static map): http://i.imgur.com/3JS4jm4.gif - Added more options to trading encounters (you can now threaten the trading convoys for their cargo): http://i.imgur.com/BnWjHti.png http://i.imgur.com/2PQYwvP.jpg - Added 2 new scenarios (any new scenario won't show in earlier saves for obvious reasons): http://i.imgur.com/e3wigqx.png - You can now cancel a jump while your fighters and harvesters are docking. - You can make a "quick jump" if you are not in combat.

| New patch and a minor change | 2015-07-17 | Hi A new patch has been uploaded with some fixes and a change based on the feedback received so far. - Hyperspace effect changed (I'll upload a modified trailer to show it too). - Fixed an error where harvesters couldn't repair big ships like the Mothership. - Fixed an error where enemy reinforcements jumping in would be marked in a wrong location (purple circle). - Fixed an error where some buttons and texts would change their position after changing the UI scale. - UI Scale sizes available changed from (1.0 - 1.5 - 2.0) to (1.0 - 1.25 -1.5). - Added more randomness to enemy spawn points in a few scenarios (I still need to apply this to all |
