"The London-based (the UK) indie games publisher Curve Games and Dundee-based (Scotland) indie games developer Denki, are today very happy and excited to announce that their automation and strategy game "Autonauts vs Piratebots" is coming to PC via Steam this Summer (2022)." - Jonas Ek, TGG.
Autonauts vs Piratebots arrives on Steam next week where it will be priced at $19.99, but if you’re a teacher, a tutor, or a lecturer, you could get the game for free. That’s because developer Denki and publisher Curve Games are giving away 5,000 copies of the game courtesy of their new Autonauts Codes for Education (ACE) initiative.
Although the game is ostensibly about protecting your Autonaut settlement from being pillaged by Piratebots, doing so involves setting up automated production and defenses which teaches players the very basics of coding. Teachers in the UK already use the prequel Autonauts to teach computer logic, so Denki thought of giving away the sequel to help kids learn to code.
"The London-based (the UK) indie games publisher Curve Games and Dundee-based (Scotland) indie games developer Denki, are today very excited and delighted to announce that their automation and strategy game “Autonauts vs Piratebots”, is coming to PC via Steam on July 28th, 2022." - Jonas Ek, TGG.
