tinydark is proud to announce the official launch of The Orbium!

The Orbium is our network gaming platform. It enables players to manage only one account for all tinydark games, with new game installation only a click (or tap) away. It offers both internal and external social interaction and serves as a convenient hub to get news on any games you play.

Orbium has been completely redesigned. Everything should feel snappy and light, and we hope you'll enjoy the new look. Here are a few key updates:

  • We now have premium currency! And you can spend it in Bean Grower to support the studio!
  • We're appified: when you navigate to the site on your phone, you'll be asked to Add To Home or similar. This installs Orbium right on your phone, but without a traditional app installation!
  • Email is no longer required to sign up for an account.
  • Contact system offering Friends, Followers, and Blocks.
  • Mini-profiles (on click) were expanded greatly.
  • Social Feed keeps track of your in-game progress and shares it with your friends. (think Facebook wall)
  • Amalgamated news posts so you'll always stay apprised of the latest updates.

This is a first release. We'll revise the design on new iterations. We could spend a year developing Orbium with all that's planned; but for now the job is done until it's picked back up in 2019. Some features to look forward to are:

  • Messaging/chat system
  • Dedication (very exciting)
  • Deeper integration with GAM3, and becoming a real in-store app!
