Reflecting on Five Years of Project Lexa Development by Dylan Ilvento

This August marks a pretty big milestone for us: it's been five years since we started development on Project Lexa! πŸŽ‰ With this milestone, we have a new dev blog talking about how far we've come and how excited we are for where we're going!

Two of Project Lexa's characters, Lex and Jansky, running across the ship's bridge, past the escape pods.

A scene from Project Lexa taking place on the ship's bridge. Several characters are standing around a table projecting a holographic sphere with documents in it. The robot character, MARC, is saying, "Hello, Engineer Jansky and [Name Not Registered]!"

A screenshot of Project Lexa, showing the in-game translator tablet. The tablet is currently displaying an email conversation between the characters Jansky and Boltzmann.

The message reads as follows:

"From: Jansky

Boltzmann, I know you have trouble remembering your passwords, but you've gotta stop sending them to me. First oof, it's a massive security risk, and second, it's really annoying.

-Clarke Jansky

From: Boltzmann

Gun cabinet password is 'Up Left Left Down Right...'"

The rest of the message is cut off.

Took some screenshots of our latest build of Project Lexa for A Thing, and thought I should share them here!

Finding Project Lexa's Translator We go over our iterative process to create the most important piece of user interface for β€˜Project Lexa'.

Project Lexa is a game all about translating an alien language, but how do you actually do that? With the help of your handy-dandy translator, of course! Our latest blog post is all about the game's most important piece of UI and how it has evolved during development.

With Grand Theft Auto 6 delayed and out of the way, we can finally announce that… we still don’t have a release date for Project Lexa.

Or even a name, for that matter.

If you have a spaceship in your game and it *doesn't* have a cool hologram table on the ship's bridge, then what are you even doing?

Meet the Crew of Project Lexa Say hello to the madcap cast of characters that will be joining you in 'Project Lexa'!

Yesterday we talked to you about the crew working on Project Lexa. Today, we’re talking about the crew *inside* Project Lexa! ward-games.com/post/meet-cr...

An illustration of M.A.R.C. or "Marc," the ship's robotic assistant. It's a robot with a shiny metal frame, a phosphorescent green screen for a face, two treads for legs, and two noodley arms that it's holding up above it's head. Art by John Wilinski.

And rounding out the crew is the ship’s assigned M.A.R.C. unit. M.A.R.C. β€” or the Multitool Armament for Robotic Consultation β€” is a helpful, but chatty, robot that has just as much chance to help the crew as get in their way!

Leading the team is Captain Billon β€œBill” Maddox! Seasoned yet not so sure of himself, Maddox has been tasked with captaining this small crew on a low pressure reconnaissance mission. Surely nothing bad will happen!

Making sure the crew stays safe and healthy is serious business! That’s why they’re happy to have onboard Mo Babbitt, the ship’s no-nonsense medical officer.

Need someone who knows everything about weapons and armaments? Seric Boltzmann’s your guy. The crew’s weapons officer is a seasoned vet that isn’t afraid to get his hands dirty β€” or even crack a joke every once in a while!

One of your crewmates is engineer Clarke Jansky. Extremely talented but always nervous, Jansky handles all things technological. He even built his own prosthetic arm!

You’ll be playing as Lex Kelza, an β€œinterface specialist” in the world of Project Lexa. Interface specialists handle all things communication β€” managing comms devices, conducting diplomatic missions, and translating languages! We think that last one will be pretty important during the game...
