Hey guys a bit of an update - a backer suggested this idea and I thought it was great so here we go:

Hey guys - I previously posted about the project here -> http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=79623.msg4190082#msg4190082

But I wanted to create a separate thread for the Kickstarter and Greenlight campaigns - since eventually they'll end - but the above thread will continue on.

Anyway - I've been working on a space combat sim with real time strategy elements - the idea is that you can both fly ships and issue commands. I hope that this gives you guys a unique way to play, unseen in most space sims or strategy games.

The project (after 4 years) reached the stage where I feel good about showing it off to a wider audience and where I need crowd funding so I've launched the two campaigns.

Kickstarter: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1718477862/void-destroyer


Greenlight: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=146068036


Hope you guys check it out - and let anyone who might be interested know about the project!

Here's the first official trailer (which is included in the two above links as well):

thanks guys!

Been waiting for this to be crowdfunded. Backed!

[FritzPL]

It's good to see so many good projects popping up all the time And boy it makes me proud that this one is made by my fellow countryman. Good luck.

This does bring back fond memories of Homeworld (1).
Oh gods the fun we had, turning off unit capping and trying to clash enormous fleets without crashing the pcs.

That trailer really looks awesome, good job.
It would be wonderful if you can make a game that is a cross between say, Homeworld's RTS, and X3-Series piloting / mission flying / trading.

Thanks guys!

BuriBuriZaemon:
I've always been a bit afraid that people who took a look earlier would be bored - thanks!

FritzPL:
We are a proud people I'll have to localize for Poland. Then have a chance to be put beside the Witcher, not too shabby


martinuzz:
Right now there are no unit caps and the Battle Editor (which lets you create your own maps/battles) is wide open so feel free to give it a shot and compare it to Homeworld and let me know Not only can you watch the AI - but you can also fly

One of the Stretch/Future goals is to add in the X type game play (which I love). Currently the main focus is combat/missions with the rts elements (warfare) - due to time (coding) and money (art) constraints. Either the Kickstarer funds/release funds or the (looong) timeline will make it possible.

3D in a space game?! Who are you and where did you hide the bodies of all those 2D "space" game makers? Nevermind, I don't want to know. They can stay buried. I will likely back this.

[Mephansteras]

Ah, cool. I fully expect this to succeed!

Still working...still trying to push the true scale of space...more specifically being able to shoot a laser and have it curve around a star to hit an enemy that is on the other side...

But not to derail the topic, the game does look interesting, curious to see where the game goes.

Oh my god. Oh my god! I've been waiting since Homeworld for another homeworldesque game. It looks remarkably good for an one-man/small team game too.

My brain immediately went to Robotech and Gundam with lasers coming out right angles after clearing the firing ships' hull. Having a hard time finding video or image. I'm thinking broadside configuration without needing to broadside.

not quite...think of mars being on the other side of the solar system as earth, fire near the edge of the sun and the gravity could curve the laser enough to potentially hit mars from earth, lasers do still take time to travel(about 20 minutes total so it would only be effective as an attack on a stationary object and that is assuming its a visible spectrum laser) and hence is effected by gravity...sure you might lose a bit of power as the laser clips the upper portion of the sun, but it is still possible...the difficulty in this isn't creating the system to allow for projectiles to curve by distance but in creating the system so that ships will know how to take said shots on their own and a system that allows both the large scale yet still requiring the preciseness for location based damage...

You had my attention since the title.

Fly like X-Wing, prepare to get destroyed. Command like Homeworld; May the glory of Sajuuk guide you.

To command a fleet in full 3-D, while also fighting on the front lines like X-Wing? Sold.

[kaian-a-coel]

Backed. Just backed FOR GLORY. Space sim plus strategy? YES PLEASE. Have my money, good sir.
*telling friends about it*

[monk12]

I have high hopes for this. Downloading the demo now, hopefully my computer can handle it.

[Flying Dice]

I. LOVE. YOU. All my Homeworld nostalgia just hit full-force. And my Rogue Squadron nostalgia, I suppose.
