On September 30th we will be attending the LEVEL "Tu Faci Jocurile" gala, showcasing the game. Entry is free of charge, it's held at the no.2 pavillion and is supposed to start around 13:00. To mark the occasion we have released a demo version of the game! Yes, you can now play a few of the quick-action mission available in the game! Sorry, but the campaign is only available for the full game. We are working on international distribution as we speek and a formal announcement will be made next week. So what are you waiting for?! Go download and play the demo!

The game has been released! It can now be found in Rodipet press stores across the major cities of Romania. The price is 4.28 euros or 150.000 lei. The international version of the game will be available for purchase online shortly. Enjoy.

19-08-06 Update

Two new trailers have found their way to our download section. Both feature in-game footage and are in HD quality DivX. Enjoy.

15-08-06 Update

The game is GOLD! It is finally completed and will hit Romanian store shelves at the beginning of September. We hope to provide an Internet version for those of you not fortunate enough to live in Romania - but don't expect it too soon. Sorry.

14-07-06 Update

Finally, things are smoothing out, and calm settles in. Thanks to this mess, we have accelerated our production schedule and plan to hit "gold" by August 5th, and a full release by September. Don't bet money on it but the game might be here sooner. We have hired some new talent to work on the game, and also licensed a new game engine. More details on this will be posted soon on 2baddesign.ro.

12-07-06 Update

This update will be in Romanian.

Am decis la un semi-raspuns video. Contine imagini din reportajele de stiri inregistrate pe data de 10 Iulie. Clipul este in format HD, de 1280x720, inregistrat in DivX 6 cu sunet MP3. Descarcati-l aici.

10-07-06 Update

This update will be in Romanian. Sorry for this but it seems the controversy is getting out of hand and some people are making themselves look stupid.

Suntem curiosi cum de puteti face zarva, in legatura cu un joc care, de fapt, NU EXISTA. El nu a fost lansat, si daca ar fi fost, NU AR FI FOST COMERCIALIZAT. Din nou, se face din tantar armasar, desi, in cazul de fata, tantarul nu exista. Presa romana duce lipsa de credibilitate, neobosindu-se sa verifice faptele. Daca Gicu Ion, maine, ar scrie pe un site ca este ambasadorul SUA in Romania si declara in gura mare ca vom deveni o colonie a Indonesiei, cu siguranta agentiile de presa din Romania vor avertiza poporul sa-si stranga conserve.

06-07-06 Update

There seems to be a huge controversy regarding our soon-to-be-released game. We are in a FICTIONAL game, containing FICTIONAL storylines. Please leave your petty nationalism out of an otherwise fun game. We appreciate your views and issues on the matter, but please, let politicians handle them, not video games.

Pentru romanii grei de cap: ESTE O GLUMA. Ai auzit de sarcasm?

21-06-06 Update

The first beta results are in. It seems we over-estimated our system requirements. And quite by much too. The game worked fine on a Pentium 2 400 Mhz, with a GeForce 4 MX 440 and 512 SDRAM!

If you're just joining us, the beta is still open. You are free to submit your application. Form link below.

15-06-06 Update

2 Bad Desgin is holding an open beta call. Anyone interested in testing out Romanians In Space is welcome to sign-up. If selected, you will be provided with a release candidate version of the game and premiere access to helping us make it into a great game.

Beta Call - Sign-up -> Closed. Sorry.

Game Overview

We invite you to take part in a journey throughout the galaxy. Your galaxy. This is a 3D space simulator, wherein you are free to roam savagely in an ever-expanding universe of stars, planets and alien pirates.

Romanii In Spatiu, or Romanians In Space (everything is in Romanian, get used to it) is the third game from Romanian developer 2 Bad Design. The game features a re-designed game engine, supporting dynamic lighting, full anti-aliasing, pixel shader technology, high resolution textures (4k x 4k) and detailed models.

Your missions include insurgency into unknown systems, defense of home planets, low-orbit maneuvers and high-orbit patrol. You will be piloting several fighter-class ships as well as taking control of some heavily armed destroyers. This is a universe that lets you move freely through it, exploring everything you want, and mass-killing Alien scum in the process.

An absolute minimum configuration to run the game:
- Microsoft Windows Vista (not tested), XP (SP2), 2000 (SP4), Millennium Edition or 98 (SE)
- Initially we thought that an AMD Athlon 1,2 Ghz or Intel Pentium 4 1,5 Ghz CPU was required but it seems the game runs fine on a Pentium 2 400 Mhz. You be the judge.
- 256 MB of RAM
- nVidia GeForce 4 MX440 or better.
- Microsoft DirectX 9.0 or later (yes, it's 9)
- A DirectSound compatible sound card

In addition, a (seems not so) recommended setup would feature:
- AMD Athlon 64, AMD Athlon XP 2500+, Intel Pentium 4 2,4 Ghz or faster
- 1 GB of RAM
- ATI Radeon 9700 or nVidia GeForceFX 5900 with 128 MB

The game will be released in Q4 2006.
