I was excited until the article clearly outlined that it was a multiplayer, online-only game.
Alas.
Ah, the magical words that make me lose any interest in a game immediately.
Mine is 'PvP only"
The whole pvp / combat section was utterly confusing too. I don’t think I care about this at all. The beginning sounded great though, like Starfield without a plot and more focus on exploration and base building. Doesn’t sound like they have ship interiors though.
If it lets you selfhost then that isn’t an issue
This sounds ambitious for a small studio. It doesn’t help that both Northgard and Dune: Spice Wars felt feature-light to me, maybe due to their signature genre blending.
Could be they’ve scaled up (and trust me, I’m yearning for more space games in the AA category), but too many of these projects are shooting for the moon and falling short. I’d love to see a stretch of releases with smaller scope–like Everspace 2–that the industry can build on, because space games are not where they were in 2000. Chris Roberts is off in his ivory tower doing his thing, and the big devs are either planetbound or obsessed with procgen.
Is this like X4?
So nobody played StarMade then? Okay…
Starmade had a lot of great ideas and potential, but then just got abandoned in a half assed and buggy state.
Looks like one of those forever Early Access games
I mean, it is, but the headline acts as if the concept hasn’t been done before.
