Exocraft Launches on Steam Exocraft launched on the web just over a year ago, but this was only the beginning of its journey. We've been hard at work making new features, overhauling the gameplay and fixing countless bugs as we approached the full rollout of the game across all platforms. Today is the next step of that journey as we launched on Steam, the world's largest PC/Mac games store!

Benchmarking AWS, DigitalOcean, Linode, Packet and Vultr The launch of Exocraft.io and the subsequent flood of traffic revealed the flaw of our reliance on Amazon Web Services -- bandwidth cost.

We focused on browsers because we were (and still are) believers in the power of the open web. Our Kickstarter re-emphasized this cross-platform future with stated goals of releases on both iOS and Android. We are nearing the end of 2017, and CasinoRPG is still a largely desktop-centric experience. However, that is all about to change in a big way! We are excited to... Read More [] |

Announcing Exocraft Beta When I started GoldFire Studios nearly a decade ago, the goal was always to build a community of games and the diverse people that play them. It is this goal that led us to build the GoldFire platform that we relaunched earlier this year. It is also this goal that drives us to continue creating unique social gaming experiences like the one we are announcing today. Exocraft With each new game, we like to explore concepts that push creative and technical boundaries. Exocraft is no exception... Read More [] |
