Monthly Meetings and a Look Inside the ROCKFISH Games Studio

Every month, the core Hamburg team and developers located a short drive or train ride away gather at the studio to discuss work that’s been done and plans for the immediate future. We take these days to share knowledge, review changes in plans for the future, and playtest the latest builds. By keeping projects transparent, we’re able to keep people informed and give chances for feedback at key stages of feature development. 

With the Incursions update out and Unreal Engine 5 migration done, the team is turning their full focus on what’s to come for EVERSPACE 2. Last week, the Hamburg team gathered to check out work-in-progress content for our upcoming un...
