New version of My Ex-Boyfriend the Space Tyrant now live
My Ex-Boyfriend the Space Tyrant is a gay-themed sci-fi adventure game with artwork by award winning artist Joe Phillips and is a prequel to Escape from Pleasure Planet.
The update is free for existing owners of the game, you boldfaced minxes.
Key features:
- Save games load much faster
- Animated text
- Hardware accelerated graphics
- Lots of new writing mostly in the side plots (main plot is unchanged)
- Same engine version as Escape from Pleasure Planet (three years of improvements)
- Scaling effect along the z-axis
- Dozens of bug fixes
- New path planning
- Some updated art and animations
- Reworked some scenes to even out tone of game
- Quality of life improvements like inspect inventory items
- Support for more types of monitors
- Controller support
- Return of the linux version
- The console on startup is gone
- New build process for windows/mac/linux to support more computers
Basically every line of code has been touched in some way. It's definitely been a work of love. Old save games aren't supported but players can switch back to the previous version of the game on Steam using the "classic" beta channel.
Share and Enjoy!*
* "Share and Enjoy" is, of course, the company motto of the hugely successful Sirius Cybernetics Corporation Complaints division, which now covers the major land masses of three medium sized planets and is the only part of the Corporation to have shown a consistent profit in recent years.
Trading Cards now dropping
Today we published a set of trading cards for the Steam edition of My Ex-Boyfriend the Space Tyrant. The set of six cards use beautiful location artwork from the game and contain extra information about the galaxy in the game.
There are also five badges, including a special "Beautiful Space Traveller" foil badge, as well as emoticons like ":flirtbot:" and special profile backgrounds that you can unlock.
If you have already been playing the game, you should retroactively receive some cards.
It was fun to put these together and we hope you enjoy them.

5th anniversary
The new release will see the game ported to the same engine as the sequel, Escape from Pleasure Planet (available now).
This 2017 version of the engine is massively updated compared to the 2013 one running Space Tyrant and contains bug fixes, performance improvements and new features such as dual monitor support. Story and gameplay will be generally unaffected.
The original version of the game will also still be available on Steam in a "classic" channel. The update will be free to all owners.
END FLIRT MODE
Sequel out now
"Escape from Pleasure Planet" is a brand new adventure starring Captain Tycho Minogue and his crew with a fast paced story, new features, upgrades and of course great art by Joe Phillips.
Early reviews have been very positive.
We hope you enjoy it as much as we enjoyed making it!
