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.

Some videogame Kickstarter projects, that appeal to Retro Gamers and Space Sim fans:

Starlight Inception, a promising space combat sim:

Shadowrun Returns, a new game in the Shadowrun Universe (If it plays like the Sega Genesis/Megadrive game, it will be very addictive)

http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/161 ... un-returns

Brian's Fargo Wasteland 2 (I haven't played the original Wasteland, but I love all Fallout games, old and new. Invested high in this one 😀 😀 ).

Thanks for starting this thread CaptainKal. This will be a nice place to discuss and announce them.

Yes I was following Wasteland 2 definitely, and cannot wait to see screenshots flowing in from development of the game, I loved the first game. Maybe if they make enough money they could port the original to work on today's machines?

I just found out about the Shadowrun kickstarter yesterday and was going to post on this today. This is amazing to have this game going to be build like I have played on pen/paper and the actual creator is heading the project so what more can you ask for. Seeing both Wasteland and Shadowrun games again is nice to see, and maybe we will start to see a lot of older titles getting remade or updated sequels.

Now it's finding all the money for all of these great games that are coming.

Just wonder if the bubble is going to burst with Kickstarter as theres seems to a number of projects asking for large amount of money.

I guess this will only be a problem if the developers are not delivering what was promised and then it really wouldn't be kickstarter's fault, I would personally just block that certain developer from creating another project on the site. I don't think this will be much of an issue. I look at this as a great opportunity to have some good games funded that hopefully are created with the fan in mind.

Another one here on kickstart which may go ahead, not a space sim but a new Crimson Skies game. 😀

Played the XBox version and really enjoyed it, still got to get the PC one up and running.

Problems with the video card? (I might have a solution 😉 ).

Too many kickstarters coming, running out of money 🙂

I absolutely loved playing Crimson Skies, the story was nice and the combat was great and always wondered why there wasn't another one because to my knowledge the game did quite well on the Xbox/PC?

I have been watching Grim Dawn a while now and Titan's Quest is in my opinion better than Diablo II and when this game is released it will probably out do Diablo III as well,

Give it a look here: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/cra ... /grim-dawn

One here called Alpha Colony: A Tribute to M.U.L.E.

http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/154 ... te-to-mule

Think they going to have a hard time getting $500k, seem to recall there was a remake on the Amiga called Trader.
