About Stardust Collective
We're making Ziggy's Cosmic Adventures (http://s.team/a/1501820/) is a VR cockpit game combining ship management with action-arcade combat. Playing as a bounty hunter with questionable morals, and having just stolen a powerful little alien, an ensemble of the evil empire are hot on your tail.
The game (and the company) started as an entry to the GMTK 2020 GameJam where it generated a very positive reaction. We then decided to form a team to make a full version of the game which we have now been working on for around a year and a half. The current timeline is setting us up for an October 2022 release.
