Now Available in Quest Early Access: ‘BuildPort Xumia’—Design and Pilot Your Own Custom Spaceships

Alright, let’s dive into the chaos of this space game thing. Picture this: Indie XR studio, Yumebau — yeah, I know, say that five times fast — just tossed BuildPort Xumia into the wild today. It’s like, you know, a mashup of space battles and DIY projects on a Quest headset. Kind of like if Kerbal Space Program met up with an arena shooter and they decided to build spaceships and blow stuff up.

So, if you’ve got a Quest 3 or 3S, you’re in luck. This game lets you make whatever your overcaffeinated mind can dream up. I’m talking drones, mechs, maybe even something Star Wars-ish like an X-Wing. Balance all the ship’s energy and bam, you’re shooting through virtual galaxies with explosions everywhere. Seriously, it’s nuts.

The whole thing uses these blocky modules—think Lego but with lasers. Weapons, thrusters, sensors… you can basically build this Franken-ship and give it a mind of its own. But hey, piloting it yourself? That’s where the real thrill hits. It’s like driving a race car made of tin cans and dreams.

Oh, and there’s more. Jump into duels, like a 1v1 arena showdown. Challenge your friends or tackle AI opponents because let’s be honest, sometimes you need to smack around some pixels. They’ve also got this co-op mode where you can join forces and construct stuff together. Maybe argue a bit over design choices. Who doesn’t love a good debate over wing placement?

Then there are these things called ‘Xumi Trials’. I guess it’s solo skill tests or whatever. They’ll keep adding stuff too — new modes, avatars, ship gizmos. So, you won’t get bored anytime soon.

And get this, it’s on sale for $6 on the Horizon Store. Regular price? $10. Math isn’t my strong suit, but deals are deals, right? Anyway, happy building or blowing up, or whatever you decide to do in the void of virtual space!
