Traffic due to recent Starsector Review
« on: August 02, 2019, 01:32:46 PM »

Hiya! 

I just saw a YouTube review of Starsector by SsethTzeentach, and apparently the video brought over a ton of traffic to your website. 

The review gave it 10/10, btw.   8)

Oh good I came here just to make sure it was a good review. I don't have to go on the offence now.

Upsurge of activity has made it impossible for most people to access the website and the forum.
In relation to video, I wish Sseth had given more focus to combat, because this is what this game is about, really. Everything leads you one way or another to combat.

Well that explains why the forums are moving at the speed of molasses and the absurd ratio of registered users to guests currently on the forum as well  ;D

The review is generating ripples. There's already a thread about it on reddit r/pcgaming, and the review already has almost 250,000 views after being up for just 11 hours.

This could be big!

That's the reason I'm here, I've been a fan of Sseth for about 2 years now. He's hilarious and he has a great taste in video games.

Well, I discovered the game thanks to that video and I just have to thanks the author, you for the game and the community. Very happy to have joined!

Regarding the combat, it was enough to tickle my mind. I pick games 99% based on the combat system, so I carefully review it.
While it wasn't super focused on the combat system, the images and the descriptions were enough to show it's not trivial and actually very interesting.

The tutorial did the rest.

Cheers, wish you get a large amount of money due to this, AAA companies never dare to create new decent gameplay, so indie devs get all my love and support!

Ah Seth, yes i am one of them too. His reviews of games are hillarious. And the guy just has a sick and twisted mind just like me. Thats why i like him so much :)

I really just registered because I want to praise this amazing game and honor how much fun it gave me. I own all X-games (except rebirth... u know why) but X4 is like a shadow to this game (even when they differ a bit). No Man's Sky isn't my cup of tea, Starpoint Gemini Warlords was bad imo and Battlefleet Gothic Armada 2 is too shallow. Your game is the perfect balance in COMMANDING, FIGHTING, TRADING, THINKING, EXPLORING and GRINDING.

I fkn love it! I would advertise it more but I don't know how haha

Ah yes, I saw it too.  Nice to see what the state of the current game is.  I haven't played since .54a I believe since I want to play once it's gone 100%.
