  • Studio Background: Starcade Arcade is a passion project born from my love of gaming, the '80s, and virtual reality. As a solo developer, I’ve built something special: a universe that spans multiple games, all connected by a distinct, retro sci-fi aesthetic. I’ve already made my mark with four VR titles, including *Virus Popper*, the first VR educational app for COVID-19, and *Space Slurpies*, the first VR "snake" arcade game and a pioneering release on HTC’s Vive Flow immersive glasses. These games aren’t just fun; they’re visually stunning, immersive experiences that have reached players on more VR headsets and in more VR arcades than most studios, including in international markets like China. Now, I’m ready to take the next step with Starcade FACTIONS, my first cross-platform game for both PC and mobile. This expansion is more than just a new release—it’s a milestone that shows how far I’ve come and how much more I have to offer.

​

  • Game Background: Starcade FACTIONS is the fifth game from indie studio Starcade Arcade and my first to span both PC and mobile. It’s the culmination of all the lore, worlds, and characters from my previous titles. The universe is at war, and you’re thrust into the middle of it, forced to choose a faction and battle for victory in strategic combat. Starcade FACTIONS is also a spiritual successor to my debut game, with reimagined ship types and concepts in this fast-paced, new gameplay. As a passion project from a solo developer, Starcade FACTIONS is brimming with potential. Your support can help it reach new heights—download it for free and join the growing community today!
