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.

Another take on the old Wing Commander games https://store.steampowered.com/app/595360/NIGHTSTAR_Rogue_Wings/ it unclear as weather the game is still being worked on as their been no updates since an announcement in the summer that one was being worked on.
From Steam
A decade ago, the robotic forces of the Supremacy slaughtered the ones who opposed its absolute control over the Galaxy. This fateful period is known as the Division War. The few lucky survivors were enslaved or banished to the Outer Planets. Driven by their ever-growing hunger for power, the evil Supremacist fleet now travels at full speed expanding its reach to the Outer Rim. The survivors once again stand on the brink of destruction.
The bravest veterans of the Division War joined forces and created the NIGHTSTAR: a group of elite flying aces that are ready to rebel against the hunger of the machines.
The NIGHTSTAR has discovered a secret that could put an end to the conflict. Now the very fate of the galaxy lies in the hands of these fearless pilots.

I have it on my steam wishlist...i'm waiting for the final release to buy it!
Same here but I think it might be a long wait.
Been a number of these space combat games which have appeared in the last year and they seem to get abandoned pretty quickly after release. it maybe because they are too basic in what they are offering and people expectations are far greater now than what they used to be.
Yes i understand what you are saying...but in my opinion a basic game is not a bad game, it depends from how do you do it.
You can do a simply gameplay but well cooked and have a good result as you can do far more complicated games were many aspects are not developed correctly.
Take an old school fps like serious sam...it has a very simple gameplay (run-fire-run) but the game is great. The same can be done with space game like nightstar.
I'm also a developer (we are only two guys) and from my perspective i can say that the bigger difficult is to have a stable team. You start a project, maybe you go in alpha and the in beta but the team is no more able to work on it...so the game get stucked.
There are many factors for this, one is that very small team do it for passion (like me) so there is no money, you need to work and then develop your game in free time. It's easy to understand that someone in the team can leave.
I would agree that their is nothing wrong with basic gameplay, but given that this now getting to be a fairly crowded market, I would say they their is a need for some sort of extra feature or better thought out game mechanics.
Also Unreal game engine seems to be very popular at the moment and a lot of the small indie devs tend to use the same assets in their games, which in turn has given rise to a lot of identical looking games.
Games been removed from Steam did anyone actually buy into it or was it removed before been sold and does anyone know why?.
Did some small research and couldn't find anything in forums or on their website for news as to why they stopped early access? There was complaints in the forums going back 2yrs that people complaining it was dead. So maybe that is the case, devs just are not going to finish it...
