DEEP SPACE - July 14, 2026 - Gonzo Technologies has declared that they are finally nearly out of time by signing their upcoming title NTL: No Time Left with Exothermic, a new publisher focused on supporting sci-fi games.
As much as everyone loves publishers, let’s talk about the game. Because this game is something special.
NTL: No Time Left is a fully 3D tactical, capital-ship roguelike where every decision can mean the difference between survival and becoming tomorrow's drifting wreckage. Players command a customizable warship through a galaxy-spanning conspiracy, balancing power between critical ship systems, deploying drones, managing catastrophic damage, and engaging in intense real-time battles with the option to pause and issue tactical orders.
Every run presents new encounters that react to the player's ship, equipment, and previous choices, creating branching stories shaped by strategy rather than scripted outcomes. Salvage new technology, unlock powerful hulls, and build a flagship tailored for combat, rescue, or calculated risk as every victory (and every failure) helps define the journey through a dangerous and ever-changing galaxy.
Greg, the solo developer who has worked on this project for nearly five years, has had a running series on YouTube with devlogs called “What’s Taking So Long?” that viewers can check out:
Despite Greg’s insistence that he’s uncomfortable in front of a camera, his new publisher feels like these videos are pretty spectacular.
“Come join me in the Discord,” said Greg. “We talk about random things. I’ve been taking suggestions and already making improvements to the game. It’s been awesome.”
“I can’t believe he agreed to this,” said Megan Carriker, Founder and Command Director of Exothermic. “Ok that sounds dramatic and rude but I cannot articulate how excited I am that Exothermic gets to support this project for many, many years to come. I happily look forward to enabling many people to die many times over in space in new and exciting ways through NTL.”
Currently, NTL: No Time Left is entering into a closed playtest period and potential playtesters can sign up by engaging with an exclusive sneak-peek video from LT Gaming.
NTL: No Time Left will come out sometime. In the meantime, check out media kit assets here and wishlist the game on Steam. Because it’s a dangerous galaxy out there, Captains, and you’re going to want some help - join the Discord.
