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.

Interstellar Rift

Sentinel373 · 2014-04-09T11:22:52Z

Hi everyone, i'm Alex and i'm part of a small indie development studio in the Netherlands called Split Polygon. All 5 of us are fresh out of college and have been working on our first game "Interstellar Rift" for a little over a year, which I would like to tell you a little bit more about. Interstellar Rift is a space sim which will lets you get out of the pilot seat and manage your ship from a first person perspective. This means you'll be able to man a single ship with multiple people working together while you explore a proceduraly generated galaxy, fight enemies and other players or simply mine to your heart's content so you can further expand your ship. Players can use the ship builder to design their spaceships in whatever shape or size they want. You will be able to completely customize the interior and exterior to suit your tastes and needs. Further down the line you'll also be able to create space stations in this manner. Our goal is to create the a sci-fi space sim sandbox, where players can do whatever they like. Build a giant capitol ship with your friends and attempt to maintain order as you lay claim to a star system or simply play the humble pirate that teleports aboard other player's ships and raids their cargo when the shields are down. or perhaps you're more of a trader, finding rare resources and items to sell to other players for big profit. Our first devblog will explain what we've done so far and where we're headingcan check out our screenshot gallery here We've recently released our pre-alpha ship builder to the public for free, and we would like people to play around with it and give us feedback. The ship builder will allow you to design a ship from the ground up and also let you walk around inside via virtual tour mode. As its still very early in development any feedback you're willing to provide will help us greatly in making sure its fun and easy to use.We are currently updating the ship editor every two weeks and we hope to have the alpha version of the game out later this year. you can download the ship builder here We hope you'll give the editor a try and let us know what you think. In any case, any critique comments or questions are more than welcome and I'll do my best to answer all of them. For more information please check out our website and forums at: www.interstellarrift.comor feel free to follow us on twitter, facebook or IndieDB Thank you,Alex

We just updated the game with one of our unique new features. fully dynamic physics driven asteroid fields which work in multiplayer.

Not only that but these systems will allow us to run servers with thousands of asteroids and ontop of that thousands of AI Agents all of which are interacting with eachother.

The doors to space combat have been opened for us 🙂

See you guys are getting ready for your Kickstarter and a XBox one version.

Thats news to us 😛

We have no plans for a kickstarter at this time nor do we have any plans for an Xbox One version or any console version for that matter.

Also you quoted an announcement from Galaxy heist 😛 not interstellar Rift.
