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.

Hey all,
In case anyone is interested - a strategy gamer that I follow on Twitch is involved in a Kickstarter for a browser-based multiplayer 4X-style sci-fi game. I quite like the look of it so far, so thought I would share it here to spread the word and in case anyone is interested in backing!

You look good through a crosshair.
Starium XCV looks like its well done for the type of game it is and its scope. I am just not a huge fan of these sorts of games personally.
I think they will have a hard time reaching that goal of 30k for a web based MMO style of game. They might have to just go F2P and inject some micro-transactions to fund it. I think kickstarter has lost its luster for me, I used to like the platform but too many games were never finished so unless a game is by a publisher I trust or the game looks to be in a beta state I don't even bother.
I will give this MMO a try once it hits the market, hope they succeed 🙂
Thanks D1, yeah, I know what you mean - I think they will struggle, despite the fact that I think it looks good. I'm hoping the word spreads and they get enough to fund it.
I have also seen a bunch of Kickstarters fail recently - or worse, succeed, and then the creator goes bankrupt and never delivers what has been paid for. So am also starting to get a bit wary.
Anyway, fingers crossed for Starium!
