New ​The​ ​Europa Wager​ Expansion Released for Soren New The Europa Wager Expansion Released for ​ ​ ​ ​ Soren Johnson’s Offworld Trading Company ​ The smallest of Jupiter’s Galilean moons, Europa, sets the scene for the expansion with new resources, structures, challenges, and more Plymouth, MI. – November 21, 2019 - Today, Stardock and Mohawk Games released The ​ ​ Europa Wager, the second expansion for Soren Johnson’s economic strategy game, Offworld ​ ​ Trading Company. This expansion takes players to the frozen moon of Europa, where ​ numerous cracks on the surface make building and sustaining new structures a challenge. Offworld Trading Company is a real-time strategy game in which money, not military force, is the ​ weapon. Stake claims to resources, extract and develop them into goods and upgrades, all while buying and selling in the real-time, player driven marketplace. “The further out into space we go, the harder survival becomes,” said Soren Johnson, lead designer for Offworld Trading Company. “Europa is completely uncolonized, so at the start of ​ ​ the scenarios you’re faced with surveying the moon, setting it up for life support, and then founding a colony there before you’re able to really start growing your business.” The Europa Wager is available to play in skirmish, multiplayer, or in a new series of challenging ​ scenarios that provide a host of new challenges to overcome. Like the rest of the Offworld ​ series, the expansion brings real-world elements into its gameplay as you attempt to establish a new business amid the frozen elements. For example, although water will not be hard to find on the frozen moon, aluminum is non-existent.

    Offworld Trading Company v1.21 brings updated ​ language support for both base game and DLCs The best selling economic real-time strategy game now have updated translations in Simplified Chinese, Russian, German, and more. Plymouth, MI. – November 1, 2018 - Today, Stardock announced the release of v1.21 for ​ Offworld Trading Company, a game in which players take on the role of entrepreneur and travel ​ ​ ​ to Mars for an economic showdown against rival companies. The version update improves localization for several languages and adds some balance updates that enhance the gameplay experience. In Offworld Trading Company, players buy out the competition and take control of the Martian ​ ​ market in a strategy game where money, not military force, is their greatest weapon. The ​ real-time, player-driven market is the foundation of the game, allowing players to buy and sell resources and materials - even the food and water that the colonists need to survive. Players will also have to deal with some underhanded black market methods of sabotage, like pirate raiders, hackers trying to disrupt production, covert electromagnetic pulses, and more. The game supports online match play with up to 8 players, as well as single player campaigns, skirmishes, or daily challenges. For more serious players, ranked ladder games will give them the opportunity to earn ranks and prove their worth. The v1.21 update adds improved localization in both the base game and all of Offworld Trading ​ Company’s DLC for the following languages: ​ ● Simplified Chinese ● German ● French ● Spanish ● Korean ● Polish ● Russian ● Brazilian Portuguese Offworld Trading Company is $19.99 through Steam or Stardock.

  • New Customization Tool, Curtains, Allows Users to Add Additional Style Modes to Windows 10
    New customization tool, Curtains, allows users to add additional style modes to Windows 10 Plymouth, MI - July 14, 2020 - Stardock released a new customization tool today. Curtains™ ​ ​ allows users to apply new styles along the lines of Dark Mode and Light to Windows® 10. ​ ​ Taking advantage of the groundwork built to support light and dark mode, Curtains includes several new styles including Fluent, Cairo, and Crystal mode that enhance the look and feel of the Windows UI along with apps that already support light and dark mode. "The advantage of using a program like Curtains is that it's essentially just adding new 'modes' to Windows," said Brad Wardell, CEO of Stardock. "It works with high DPI displays and your existing programs. This gives users a little extra touch of customizing the Windows experience." In addition, Curtains also includes styles that allow users to switch Windows to looking more like Windows XP or Windows 95 as well as alternative operating systems. Users can easily create and share their own styles using the built in style editor. A Curtains style can change everything that Light and Dark mode can change, including the Start button, title bar buttons, and title bar coloring. It also supports tweaking gradients, shadows opacity, and hundreds of other small elements of the Windows GUI. "Curtains makes it very easy for people to make their own styles," said Wardell. "There are a lot of customization features that have been buried in recent years such as font faces and sizes, detailed color choices and much more. Curtains allows people to adjust all of that and save it with their style easily.” Curtains is now available for $9.99, or through Stardock’s Object Desktop™ suite of desktop ​ ​ ​ ​ enhancements.

  • Tiles ​ Announced
    New and Improved Version of Stardock’s Tiles ​ Announced Beta Now Available for Object Desktop Users Plymouth, MI - February 02, 2021 - Stardock announced a new v2.0 update for the popular ​ ® Windows ​ productivity tool, Tiles™, today. Tiles is a program that lets users create multiple ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ desktops of related programs, files, and links through the use of a customizable sidebar on the Windows desktop. By holding the shift key and dragging programs onto the sidebar, Tiles will ​ ​ create a thumbnail of the application, keeping the desktop organized and easy to navigate. The new version of Tiles adds full support for Windows light and dark modes, as well as ​ ​ Stardock’s Curtains program, which will allow for a fully cohesive desktop look. The program will ​ ​ also work perfectly with Groupy, allowing groups to show up together in Tiles in order to ​ ​ ​ ​ maintain the best possible organization. "It’s important that we keep our apps up to date with changes in technology," said Stardock CEO Brad Wardell. “One of the things the new Tiles focuses on is high DPI support for modern monitors and general performance increases across the board in order to use less PC resources.” To provide better organization, users can now customize whether certain Tiles categories show ​ ​ only maximized or minimized windows. This feature is especially helpful for multi-monitor setups, allowing users to view tiles on one monitor and click through to apps and tasks they can utilize on their main monitor. Although plenty has changed for Tiles in v2.0 to make it a better program for users, there are a ​ ​ few fan favorite features that remain.
