Into the Stars: Kickstarting the last hope of humanity
« on: January 06, 2015, 02:58:12 am »
Found this on kickstarter, pretty much looks like a 3D FTL. Made by a 4 person indie team comprised of people from DICE and Capcom, including two leads from DICE. Also has a soundtrack done by Jack Wall, who did the score for Mass Effect 2 (and I think one as well). Basically, humanity is fleeing their world which was invaded by aliens, you are in command of the ship and you have to get to a destination. There's random events, volley based combat, etc.

"Take the role of Captain as you explore a massive solar system in search of a new home for humanity. Outfit your ship, select your crew and set off on a journey where you must scavenge resources, shelter civilians and outrun a hostile alien force in order to survive."

So again, basically FTL in 3D.

It has 29 days left, and has $25,062 pledged of $85,000 goal. Kickstarter's not my thing, but it looked like something some people here would be interested in. Anyways, here's a link to the kickstarter.

That was exactly my thought when I saw the trailer last night, a 3D FTL.

$46,305 now. And these two ladies on the first image look like they ate a stick. 1/10.

I like the looks of the feature list, and I appreciate that they are not diluting themselves with stretch goals.

I might be alone in this, but I was not super fond of FTL.  This does not look so much like it to me, except that it has procedural generation and there is someone chasing you.  Thematically similar, but the gameplay looks vastly different.  Maybe just me?

what?  where?

Oh, right at the top of the kickstarter?  how crazy is that.  Well, I guess it doesn't enhance or diminish my enthusiasm either way.
