Okay, so here’s the thing I stumbled upon today—there’s this game, BuildPort Xumia, and it just landed on Quest or whatever. I mean, we’re talking early access, so it’s still in the ‘getting its act together’ phase. Picture fast-paced, space stuff with all these physics-y explosions and then—you get to actually build your own spaceships. Like, from the ground up. Pretty wild, right?
So, if you’ve got a Quest 3 or 3S, you’re in luck because you can dive into this chaos right now. Imagine a mix between Kerbal Space Program and some arena shooter combat thing. It’s like, you’re out there smashing baddies using your own cobbled-together, Frankensteined spaceships that you, yes you, built. And I don’t know, maybe it sounds like a headache to manage all that ship energy stuff—a bit like juggling, I guess. But, hey, who needs to move or shoot anyway?
Things are made from these modular doodads—blocks, pieces, whatever. Sensors, weapons, thrusters… you name it. And you can sort of give them little brains to do stuff on their own. But, if you’re like me, you probably want to be right there, in the action, piloting that ship firsthand.
Anyway, the game has this 1v1 duel arena thing. Think you’re tough? Go prove it against a friend. Or not, because you can also just go against AI if you’re feeling kind of introverted. You can even rope in buddies and build stuff together. It’s like Legos but with gravity and lasers.
There’s more. They’ve got these ‘Xumi Trials’ too, which sound super intense. You can test your ship designs in these challenges—skill-based, they say, but let’s be real, it’s going to be chaos. They promise more updates with new modes and ship parts as time goes on, so keep your fingers crossed.
Oh, if this kind of thing tickles your fancy, it’s up on the Horizon Store. You get it now for $6, which is apparently cheaper than it will be later. Who knows, maybe that price goes back up to $10 when they’re finished dusting it off.
So yeah, that’s about it—I guess the future of spaceship stuff is in your imaginative little hands now. Go build some chaos, why not?
