To all SSC Station occupants

Thank you for the donations over the past year (2024), it is much appreciated. I am still trying to figure out how to migrate the forums to another community software (probably phpbb) but in the meantime I have updated the forum software to the latest version. SSC has been around a while so their is some very long time members here still using the site, thanks for making SSC home and sorry I haven't been as vocal as I should be in the forums I will try to improve my posting frequency.

Thank you again to all of the members that do take the time to donate a little, it helps keep this station functioning on the outer reaches of space.

Good style, pace may be a bit fast tho, noticed the project is pretty new and is still lacking in members and other areas to show solid pathways.

 

I'll back the game but at this stage i think it's in need to more publicity and maybe even some face time on youtube with "ask the devs" videos

I'm gonna have to do some youtube diving, because this art style reminds me of some older scifi shows I have watched in the past.

And the Kickstarter is a go http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/astrobasecommand/astrobase-command looking for 145K

 

A sandbox base-building RPG in a low-tech science fiction universe. Explore the stars with the computing power of the Atari Age!

Astrobase Command is a character-driven survival and building simulation in a 70's sci-fi setting.

Send out your crew to negotiate treaties, research and discover technology, and generally secure your Astrobase against attacks and espionage. All while exploring the universe and utilizing everything you were taught from sci-fi television and movies to not get them killed. 

After defining and customizing your species, you play in a procedurally generated universe with AI-created events and stories. Astrobase Command is about realizing your science-fiction fantasy.

  • Astrobase Command combines elements of Base-Building, RPG Sandbox, and features AI-generated stories.
  • The funding goal is for the single player version of the game. We would love to do an optional persistent multiplayer game mode, but this would take additional resources and is part of our stretch goals.
  • Astrobase Command will be available on PC, Mac, and Linux.

We're inspired by our favorite sci-fi TV series and films (Star Trek, Battlestar Galactica, Star Wars, Stargate Universe, Alien, etc.); as well as our favorite video games ranging from Star Control lI to Startopia.

Not doing too well with the Kickstarter, they still have 5 day to go but well over a $100K short of the target.

Well Astrobase Command is still around, I don't think it has officially released? And since devs haven't post here in a while closing their forums and will leave this post active in the forums.

See their website here: http://astrobasecommand.com/

Here is some recent videos of their progress:
