The old thread was pretty old, so I figured it couldn't hurt to make a new one.

Terminus!  That game that's a cross between Simcity and FTL, colony builder strategy game and source of endless optimism is on Kickstarter now with some gameplay screenshots and a new composer!

I'm happy to answer questions here just like last time, and just wanted to thank you guys for your interest then and now.

I'll have to look deeper at what you've done recently when I get off work tonight.

To be fair, I joined the forum after someone sent me a message telling me that they made a thread here.  I didn't start the original thread, but I'm happy to show up when beckoned.

Besides, I've had my share of Fun with dwarf fortress on frozen tundra and sweltering jungle.  I just haven't been a part of the forum community, true.

Are you going to put up that list of notable staff? You had it up on Indiegogo but not on the Kickstarter.

Yeah, the premise looks interesting.

Any footage of actual gameplay?

For the first update video we're going to use a visualization layer to show oxygen being produced, flowing between buildings and depleted via regular consumption (breathing) and also a hull breach, so yes!  (but it's not quite ready yet)

There didn't seem to be a good place to put it on the Kickstarter page, but I may add it into the FAQ or somewhere else on the page as we go forward.

The Kickstarter looks to be going pretty well. I checked twice  less that 24 hrs apart and the funding has gone up by almost $1000

I checked out the kicktraq a short while ago actually, and yeah it does look to be going pretty well.
I expect it to get better once you get that oxygen flow video out and maybe try and get it some coverage in gaming press (if that's a thing you plan on doing).

I like the concept, definitely. Funny how a game like Outpost can leave such a lasting memory on some of us (I've had it in mind during my own project, though apparently not as much as you). Good luck with the 'starter'.

I hope you didn't set your prices too low. $5 seems really cheap when Prison Architect costs like $30.

Anyways, backing now.
