Way too addictive
« on: August 10, 2012, 02:38:30 AM »


I must complain about how addictive this game is, I've had very little sleep over the past few days, I just cant drag myself away.

What would help is if you could tone down the action a bit, maybe make the ships less interesting, reduce the amount of weapons/ combinations available, then make all the stations sell the same things so there's no point in traveling anywhere, hopefully then I can leave this game alone.

 ;)

Honestly thank you though for a well executed design and an excellent concept.
I haven't found ANY bugs so far which is amazing considering this is an Alpha, and it already feels like a complete game as it is, I don't know what else you plan to add before the full release but I'm excited that there's more to come.

I hope you don't mind me plugging another game here ...

Another Indie game I'm enjoying right now is "STARDRIVE" its still in alpha too, it has some cross-over with your game (2D top down customizable space combat) but its going for the more 4X route as a whole.

Anyway my faith in games has been restored over the last year by Indie devs like you, and this is definitely one one of the best Ive seen

It's only Caelus realistically. If it never existed... well

But yeah, if this game killed someone due to addiction then it would be... odd

WoW does that, not Starfarer

Well, yeah.

(Also, yep, it's the most famous guy on here that's actually not addicted. Well, sort-off. ;))

congratulations you have found a game you like

Hah, yeah this game is fun like that. Reminds me of when I first got it.

He used a wink emoticon right after that line, so I assume yes.
