- Space Prison is part of the Lovecraftian Days! - 10 April 2025
Attention inmates! From April 14th to 21st, our beloved prison will be part of the Lovecraftian Days with a 40% sale! You may wonder what in your prison stay may refer to our dear Howard Phillips? Let us introduce you to the dark, twisted and tentacle-y side of Space Prison! Cosmic dread Lovecraftian horror is a subgenre of horror fiction that emphasizes the cosmic horror of the unknown (and in some cases, unknowable) more than gore or other elements of shock, though these may still be present. (source Wikipedia) The cosmic dread in Lovecraftian literature can be found in Space Prison through existentialism questions: "In existentialism, it is more specifically a loss of hope in reaction to a breakdown in one or more of the defining qualities of one's self or identity". In Space Prison you start in a body but each time you die, your mind is transferred to a new body but then what is the…
- Dev Blog #11 – Celebrating Women’s Day Among the Stars! - 3 March 2025
Hello there, inmates! It’s time for our eleventh dev blog, and this one is special for two reasons. First—International Women’s Day is just around the corner, and second—we’re kicking off a special sale for our game Space Prison to celebrate! Today, we won’t be focusing solely on combat or weaponry. Instead, we’d like to shine a light on our philosophy of equality and diversity in the galactic world, as well as share a behind-the-scenes look at how it all works within our Wooden Alien team. From the Start: Zero Discrimination From our earliest sketches of Space Prison, we knew we wouldn’t define our characters based on gender. In everyday life, we don’t discriminate against people because of their gender or sexual orientation—why would we do that in our game? The main differentiators among characters in Space Prison remain their cosmic race and their personality, not whether they’re mal…
- Devblog #10 - References and Pop Culture in Space Prison - 13 January 2025
Welcome, Space Adventurers, to the tenth installment of our dev blog series! But first, we have an amazing sale starting today with a 40% discount on the game and 10% on the Supporter Pack until the 27th of January! Today, we’re peeling back the layers of Space Prison to reveal the rich tapestry of inspirations and pop culture references that make up its DNA. From intergalactic drama to quirky Easter eggs, let’s take a deep dive into the galactic soup that flavors Space Prison. Narrative Inspirations Every epic idea starts somewhere, and for Space Prison, that “aha!” moment came from the unforgettable prison break scene in the first Guardians of the Galaxy. Imagine a blender where that scene, along with the tangled webs of loyalty and betrayal from Orange Is the New Black and Prison Break, were mixed into a narrative smoothie—voilà, the cosmic chaos of Space Prison was born. But wait, t…
- Dev Blog #9 - Threats and Enemies in Space Prison - 29 November 2024
Hello there inmates, Our ninth devblog has arrived and if you're new to the prison, you may want to know what threats are looming behind bars during your very veryyyyy long stay in our facility. What do you mean "you thought it was the most secure prison out of space?". Well it is, just not for you, inmate! Space Prison was designed to be dangerous from the start. Surviving here is about as easy as trying to win a staring contest with a black hole. No surprise there, considering one of the main inspirations for the game was the prison scene from Guardians of the Galaxy, featuring the galaxy’s finest scum and villains. But what’s the biggest threat in a place like this? Well, take your pick: 1. The Conditions Space Prison is a massive fortress floating in the void of space, built to keep criminals locked inside. They budgeted enough for thick walls but ran out of cash when it came to giv…

- Dev Blog #8 - Turn-based mechanics - 31 October 2024
Hello there inmates, Here comes our eighth devblog that will focus on the turn-based mechanics you can find in your journey, or rather, the rules of the prison regarding fight among inmates, contraband and other illegal activities. We are keeping an eye on you, inmate! At the beginning Did you know Space Prison initially had real-time combat? The fighting style was brawler-based and focused on dexterity. However, during several playtests, we received clear feedback from players stating that this type of combat didn’t fit well with the rest of the game’s mechanics. The players themselves told us that they would much prefer turn-based battles in the prison setting, and so we did! We sat down and started by creating a paper prototype of the combat system. From the beginning, we wanted it to have a few core principles – it needed to be simple at its core, enjoyable to execute, and offer the…

- Dev Journal #7 - RPG mechanics - 30 September 2024
Hello there inmates, We are super happy to be part of the Steam Turn-Based RPG Fest with a -20% discount from today until October 7th! Come celebrate this amazing event with tons of game combining both turn-based mechanics and RPG aspects! To accompany this event, here is our latest devblog where we will dig further into how we gave life to the secluded and dangerous world of an intergalactic prison and characters that shape the narrative of your sentence. Creating an atmosphere One of the first things we knew when we began working on Space Prison was that we wanted to give players the fantasy of being locked with quirky alien criminals. The RPG element was sort of implied in this fantasy - meeting the convicts, learning their stories, choosing who to befriend and who to fight. So we implemented gangs as prison factions, and, within them, a relationship system where you can build relati…

- Devblog #6 - Survival mechanics - 30 August 2024
Hey inmates, Today's devblog, we will talk further about what inspired our game and how we challenge ourselves with the idea of creating a survival game in a place as confined and strict as a prison. Why a prison survival game? We wanted to make a space prison game from the start. We didn’t have a precise genre specified at the beginning, but survival mechanics made a lot of sense in a place like this. We needed to give them a twist though as the situation of the player character is far different than in most survival games. You are not stranded on an island/ocean/planet/forest and your main threats don’t come from the environment, flora and fauna. On the contrary, you are surrounded by other people (and aliens)... however they are the main threat here. We needed to turn the systems so they reflect this social survival aspect through the Relations with other inmates, the gang hierarchy,…
