History
Little Green Men Games studio has been established in late 2006 in Zagreb, Croatia. The following year marked the start of the production of the first independent game – Starpoint Gemini. This tactical space RPG simulator was released in December 2010, and was created by four enthusiasts with almost no budget. In the second half of 2011, development of Starpoint Gemini 2 was initiated. The game was designed on the heavily upgraded Whale 2 engine that had been modified to use DirectX 11 functions and streaming universe. The engine itself is completely designed and executed as a result of in-house effort. Starpoint Gemini 2 was released on Steam Early Access in September 2013, and one year later, in September 2014 went to full release, digital and retail alike. Currently, they are working on the next project, a community-driven Starpoint Gemini Warlords.
Goals
The goal of Little Green Men studio is creation of independent games, based on the latest technology and gradually expanding the team in order to tackle more extensive and demanding projects. LGM also develops its software to utilize VR technology, such as Oculus Rift.
Awards
In 2014, LGM participated in their first Developer Conference (Reboot Develop – Zagreb 2014 ) as a nominee in the indie category, and won the award for best regional indie project that same year.
Steam Early Access
The team is currently working on the new, community-driven project, Starpoint Gemini Warlords. The game was released to Early Access on April 14 2016 and is currently in production with a targeted release in 8-12 months. It features the core mechanics from Starpoint Gemini 2, but introduces many new features like owning and upgrading your headquarters, conquering parts of the universe, deploying fleets and a much bigger universe (about nine times bigger than in Starpoint Gemini 2).
LGM Games Starpoint Gemini 2 has been considered one of the best Steam Early Access games that were later released successfully.
After the full release, the game received mostly positive reviews and LGM released 3 more DLC's for the game (Secrets of Aethera, Origins and Titans). Origins is considered to be one of the biggest free DLCs ever released, since it includes the complete original Starpoint Gemini campaign in a new engine.
