Looks like they have updated about the game, not on the news part of their forum but in the dev blog bit. https://impellerstudios.com/forums/threads/state-of-the-game-update-december-2018.1116/

Wonder how this will shape up against Infinity and weather their is room for two these similar types of games.

They have definitely changed directions from their kickstarter info I think after reading this again. I thought this game was long dead

Hadn't realised that this game was still chugging away in development. The In the Black website doesn't seem to get much love, or even the Impeller Studios one, but they seem to regularly put updates on their Kickstarter and Facebook pages - I should pay closer attention.

You look good through a crosshair.

Yeah this game has been in some sort of development for the last 5 years, glancing over that kickstarter update it was nice to see the addition of bots. If I remember correctly this was going to mainly be multiplayer based game so bots are a must to hopefully keep your game alive. Multiplayer only games are tough to keep going, so I would hope that there will be a SP element to the game at launch or the ability to create your own servers where you could mod the game.

Only time will tell with this one, I think what is causing the long development is that they are adding VR support.

Just like a bus you don't see anything for ages then 3 pop up at once.

Hmmm looks like they are going the MP route only for the majority of the content, I hope they have a good bot system or this will be a short lived game.... when are devs going to understand that space gamers are a bit different from the fps crowd of gamers 😉

interesting looking game but as I never play online games, it's one I will never try out.

Besides a few name changes over the years, this game has been in development a while now, if I remember this was only going to be a multiplayer title. I hope this does see the finishline and it is released on multiple platforms. Cause I do want this to be successful but I don't feel they are creating enough buzz around the game.

Not a bad video, but would still like to see more action because the game looks a little empty 🙂

But the systems and flight mechanics look well done to this point

For a game that has been in the works like 7yrs it still feels basic.... strange.
