We at Opposable Games are incredibly excited to announce that as of today Salvaged is officially available on Steam Early Access!
Posted 2016-07-11 15:26:42 by Ryan Davies
It’s been a while - that much we have to admit.
Posted 2015-11-24 10:20:48 by Ryan Davies
Look, we're a busy bunch here at Opposable - we're spending as much time as possible getting everything into Salvaged, and making it the best experience possible.

We're happy to say that Salvaged will be present at VR World Congress, a new Virtual Reality conference taking place in Bristol on the 12th of April, 2016. The event is organised by Opposable VR and will see the world's top VR developers (including us, of course) showing off their stuff.

Whilst building Salvaged (you’ve heard of it, right?), we’ve added some new features which we’ve discussed in previous posts, but there’s another element of the Salvaged experience we’ve been fixing: the User Interface (UI). What I love about UI is that for something that appears so simple, it actually belies...

I’ve been reading Reaper Man by the incredible Terry Pratchett recently. For my shame I haven’t read much of his work and was quite late coming to the Discworld party (rather aptly for a game dev my first encounter with Terry Pratchett’s fantasy world was through the PlayStation 1 game,...

As the old adage goes: writing is re-writing, meaning a good piece of writing comes through iteration. The same logic can, naturally, be applied to game design. Through iteration, playing, testing and rebuilding we can create a fully refined gaming experience.

Phew. Well that was fun wasn’t it? Salvaged swooped onto Greenlight like some ironclad eagle of balls-out gaming ambition. For seven days our sweet chick of sci-fi awesomeness laid waste to Greenlight like Mothra by way of Tony Montana.

Our audio log series delved into the life of Commander Alex Pieterson, and followed the exploits of the team aboard starship Thaddeus; a fantastic series written by Salvaged designer/writer Daniel Dowsing and performed by the brilliant Kate Davies.

Travelling through perilous sectors of space, dealing with in-crew fighting and finally coming face-to-face with the mystery of Roulette, Commander Alex Pieterson has been through a hell of a lot. Her audio diaries have been posted here for weeks now, but with the final dramatic entry going up yesterday, we've...

Throughout the last few months we've been on a long and treacherous adventure with Salvaged protagonist Alex Pieterson in our audio log prequel series 'The Last Job'.

A dark, frightening sense of loneliness. Creepy little alien bugs. A rather unusual, but stimulating, lack of control. These were the elements that stuck in my mind after my first playthrough of the current Salvaged build.

So then Salvagers, we're there! We are live on Steam Greenlight! It's been a wild ride and a lot of fun getting here but we've got to say - we're super happy with the current state of Salvaged.

Welcome, weary traveller. Once again you find yourself in a place neither here nor there; caught between the tumultuous walls of yesterday and tomorrow in a sweet, but ailing, pasture I like to call – today.

Someone probably once said that life is a game and we’re all just players making decisions and moving our pieces in a flimsy allegory for existence. If they didn’t then they should have! It’s Daniel here at Opposable Games once again ready to blog your face off.

As night turns to day and so last week turns to this week please give it up for the return of Opposable Games’ tyrant on the typewriter – Daniel! Yay! Thank you to Thaddeus for his insights last week; without you buddy Salvaged would be called VR Sci-fi Chair Simulator 2015.
Posted 2015-04-29 14:24:09 by Thaddeus
Good day, my friend. Let me introduce myself: I am Thaddeus, AI for the starship of Commander Alex Pieterson. The pleasure’s all mine. I’ll be taking over from that loveable rogue Daniel this week – he’s been bingeing on tizer and Thundercats all weekend so I put him in stasis...

In the run-up to the launch of our early access program, we're going to be releasing a series of audio logs. The scripts were penned by Salvaged writer-designer extraordinaire Daniel Dowsing and performed by the brilliant Kate Davies.

Wazzup! Remember that? I’m bringing it back. It’s Daniel here, star of the blog series critics are calling: ‘not that bad’, ‘it passed the time whilst I was on the loo’ and ‘stop calling this number’. It’s time once again for some juicy enlightenment about a little game called Salvaged.
Posted 2015-04-14 11:46:46 by Daniel Dowsing
Hello there! ‘Tis I, Daniel of Opposable Games, come to chew your ear off about our mind blowing, face melting, soul annihilating game experience called Salvaged. Excited yet? Excellent.
Posted 2015-04-07 11:28:46 by Daniel Dowsing
Hello again. It’s Daniel here – the dandy writer and game designer of Opposable Games. Are you having a good week? Splendid. So let’s continue our introductory blog series into the rebirth of Salvaged. If you missed part one you can find it here.

Hi, I’m Daniel. I’m a writer and game designer here at Opposable Games and I thought I’d kick off a series of blogs about the rebirth of Salvaged. Yep you read that right: rebirth. It’s been a bit quiet on the Salvaged front lately but we haven’t been sat around...

Wahoo! Joe Skrebels has previewed Salvaged in this month's Official Nintendo Magazine!
Posted 2014-06-18 11:44:00 by Dan Page
After a busy period both working on Salvaged lore and some other cool projects, we're ready to proceed to the next stage of Salvaged's game development, and we want to involve you guys (especially if you're based in Bristol).
Posted 2014-04-30 11:26:48 by James
As part of our ongoing commitment to bringing the game to as many people as possible. We are today announcing Wii-U support for Salvaged.
Posted 2014-04-25 09:42:43 by James
One of the big questions we're asked about the game is about the possibility of the game just on PC. So for those people, we recently revealed both our virtual multi-screen set-up and dual-screen support for PC.

We are immensely proud of the work that everyone at Opposable Games has put into Salvaged. Over the course of a couple of years, this game that has been tossed around as an idea and prototyped in a bunch of ways has gradually coalesced into the game that we’ve been...

As one of the main focuses for development of our vertical slice and the first time the public would get their hands on the game, the demo at Rezzed was always going to be a watershed moment for Salvaged.
Posted 2014-03-18 08:42:47 by James Parker
With Rezzed fast approaching, we wanted to give a tiny glimpse of what we're going to be demoing at the show, so we prepared a short teaser trailer to show off our progress.

If you haven't been keeping up with us on Twitter and Facebook (which of course you definitely should do) you might have missed a few interesting press features on Salvaged and our take on the multi-screen experience.
Posted 2014-03-05 14:54:16 by James Parker
With Salvaged, we wanted to create gameplay the likes of which players had never experienced before, and we wanted to capture the feeling that they are actually part of the world they are interacting with.

We have been lucky enough to be picked by the honchos at EGX Rezzed to show Salvaged off at the show at the Birmingham NEC on the 28th-30th of March. That means if you’re in attendance you will be one of the first people in the world to experience the...

We caught up with Captain Alex Pieterson as she was about to embark on what would hopefully be another successful salvage mission:

Twelve years into a career where the average lifespan is measured in months rather than years, Alex Pieterson, Captain of the salvage vessel Thaddeus has been involved in deep-space recovery missions all of her adult life.

Salvaged is a real-time tactical action game. You will take on the role of commander of a Remote Interstellar Salvage Crew (or RISC). You will send your team into the wrecks of long forgotten star-ships in search of loot to sell, use, or trade as you make a living running...
