About Judy

As WP's managing editor, I edit review and preview articles, attempt to keep up with the frantic pace of Rainier's news posts, and keep our reviewers on deadline, which is akin to herding cats. When I have a moment to myself and don't have my nose in a book, I like to play action/RPG, adventure and platforming games.

In Earthless, the sun has been destroyed. Players must captain humanity's final generation of ships through space in a series of roguelike adventures, exploring treacherous star systems while engaging in strategic, grid-based combat with interstellar enemies.

Earthless is a science-fiction, roguelike deck-builder. In Earthless, players experience a rich, sci-fi story of loss, hope, and human endurance following the destruction of the sun. They will captain humanity's final generation ships through space in a series of roguelike adventures, exploring a web of ever-changing and treacherous star systems while engaging in strategic, grid-based combat with mysterious, interstellar enemies. During each voyage, players will also build a deck of unique tactical abilities and manage the crew on board their vessel, making difficult ethical decisions that could directly impact the well-being of their team ... and the survival of humanity. 

Rory McGuire, President of Blackbird Interactive, said: 

"We love that Team17 believes in nurturing great independent teams and enabling those developers to achieve visionary experiences. From Worms through to DREDGE, Team17 has been a company we have wanted to work with for a while and it has been a pleasure to collaborate on Blackbird's next sci-fi experience, Earthless. We look forward to showing more soon." 

Michael Pattison, Chief Executive Officer, Team17 Digital, said: 
"We're thrilled to be partnering with Blackbird Interactive on Earthless. They have a rich pedigree in developing engaging sci-fi and strategy experiences, making them perfectly placed to take the deck builder genre into exciting new frontiers. Working with studios like Blackbird Interactive underlines Team17's strategy of collaborating with the most creative indie studios around the world and helping to bring their visions to gamers. We can't wait to share more about their brand-new interstellar odyssey in the coming months."
