Void Destroyer is coming... (Space Sim Kickstarter)
« on: May 31, 2013, 12:11:44 AM »

The game Void Destroyer has been in development for four years now by one man in his spare time (with only artists helping with certain things) and has had a free alpha available for quite a while. It's a very unique game where you can directly control your ships, or with a tactical / strategic interface not unlike those of space RTS games of the past we all loved so much. It has a very challenging flight model with fairly complex Newtonian movement but does take place at "knife fight" ranges. Well it has finally reached the point where it's time to KickStart it and launch the Steam GreenLight campaign. I hope you guys take a look, I've enjoyed the older versions myself.

I played an earlier version a while ago, but I didn't know what I was doing. Looks pretty interesting, I might pledge. The art style and ship design are really nice, do you know if you can make your own ships?

The game is very easily modded, so yes.

Reminds me of a mix between Freespace 2 and Homeworld.

So I sent an e-mail to SpaceSector.com about the Void Destroyer Kickstarter and I guess Adam Solo took notice because there is now an article about it here.

Backed it and played a bit, tactical view is buggy and the controls need work, but IRS still like a finished game :D

I told you it was good Sprog, it's only going to get better from here.

as far as bugs - this has been a boon - I should have created fake Kickstarters and had a bug free game :)

players are fascinating - I've seen things (let's play vids) I would never have thought to check - its really great

lol @ we got the biggest guns (and that's not even the big one)

prob not backing it since I don't believe in preordering (which is kinda like what this is) and they already hit their goal anyway (so it's not like they NEED my money right now). Probably gonna buy it when it comes out though, any idea when that is?
