• A little update - 1 September 2014

  Hi everybody! I've pushed out an update that fixes one cause of slowdown for some users. Also if the game crashes when you quit, please delete the "steam_api.dll" file located in the game's folder (Steam\steamapps\common\RBS). This file is no longer included in the game files so if you delete or reinstall the game you won't need to remove this file. Cheerio, and have a good un, - James @ Boss Baddie

  Really Big Sky 5.01 has been pushed out to Steam and there are some nifty new features; Increased brightness of starbits Disabled automatic window alignment Force the game to run in low settings by adding "low.txt" to your game folder. This overrides any other options! Good for troubleshooting and picnics. Cursor now locked to game window during gameplay Steamworks Achievements added Slowed down difficulty build up for all modes Decreased event generation rate for all modes Reduced vibrations (both intensity and duration) Fixed a bug on the name entry screen Built on Clickteam Fusion 2.5, so there could be minor, non-specific improvements here and there.

• I Didn't Know What to Expect from the Wonderfully Random Really Big Sky - 4 April 2012

  Why would I feature a game that came out last year in our relatively new weekly PC Indie Spotlight feature? I simply couldn't resist the sweet allure of a procedurally generated twin-stick shooter that never played the same way twice. And I missed Luke's post last year and didn't notice Really Big Sky until it came out on Steam back in February. But never mind all that! If I wasn't aware of this glorious and mysterious thing, odds are someone else out there wasn't aware either, and that's the entire point of the PC Indie Spotlight—bringing games that deserve attention and those with attention spans together. I'm a matchmaker. I'm doing a lousy job of covering for my egregious oversight. Let us move on. Really Big Sky from developer Boss Baddie is the sequel to Big Sky , which one would assume wasn't quite as big. It's implied, at least. Not much else is where this game is concerne…
