Open sourcing and freeware release[edit]

On November 11, 2005, the source code became freely available under the GNU GPL,^[1]^[2] though without the other game content. Since September 28, 2009, Strange Adventures In Infinite Space was made available as freeware, including the game content.^[3] Due to the source code availability ports to alternative platforms emerged, for instance for the ARM and Linux based OpenPandora.^[4]^[5] It was also released for Pocket PC and Palm by British developer/publisher, Astraware. License changed to GPLv3 and assets to CC-BY-NC-4.0 on May 18, 2020.^[6]

In 2020, Strange Adventures in Infinite Space was reissued by Digital Eel and Chris Collins with support for contemporary Windows, macOS, and Linux operating systems. Digital Eel opted to make the release for free, and included community mods that were developed to expand the game on its original release.^[7]

Its sequels, the IGF award-winning Weird Worlds: Return to Infinite Space (2005, Windows, Mac, iPad) and the crowd-funded Infinite Space III: Sea of Stars (2015, Windows, Mac), each feature more content and options.

Reception[edit]

Ernest Adams, writing for Gamasutra in 2005, described Strange Adventures In Infinite Space as 'The perfect short game'.^[8]

Strange Adventures In Infinite Space was a 2003 Independent Games Festival finalist.^[9]

The game has been considered to be one of the first 'rogue-lite' games, games that took core roguelike such as permadeath and procedural generation but adopted them to different gameplay styles that forewent the tile-based and hack-and-slash gameplay.^[10]^[11] While not as influential on rogue-lites, the game's sequel Weird Worlds directly inspired FTL: Faster than Light which was one of the more influential games in the genre.^[12]
