<t>Thanks DarkOne.Yeah I have been working away on the game in my spare time. I didn't want to drip feed information and so decided to hold off any major posts until I had something more substantial to show.I posted a blog entry today called "What is Universe or Nothing?" which describes a little of ...

<t>Hello Marky, just have a little doubt, when you plan to launch the Early? A tip, spear before or after the month of June, not to compete with the No Man's Sky! May the Force be with you! I don't think we'll be releasing on Early Access until the start of 2017, we really are dedicated to making a ...

<r> Hello Mark,Do you plan to make an early access? If you want, do it on Steam because it already has a guaranteed customer! May the Force be with you! Hi Jmink, We will most likely have an Early Access release on Steam, but only when UNION is feature complete (we will add content during Early ...

<t>Hey Jmink, Thanks for your interest and kind words! Our current target for release is early 2017, we still have a lot to do but we are entirely dedicated to making UNION a reality. UNION is a space sim where you command your ship using screens, like[/url] this one. If you've ever played one of ...

<t>What happened to the game?It was abandoned?Would I like to download it ...Hi Jmink, I had to put the game development on hold for a good while, but have been back working on it for the past six months. It's nor ready for release yet, but you can see the progress on our Steam Greenlight page here ...

Thanks.  Yeah making great progress now, and Greenlight is going very well too.

<t>Hey all, A long while back I was posting here about my game UNION Cooperative Spaceship Simulator. Unfortunately I ended up having to put that project on hold, mostly due to family and work commitments. Then, just over two months back, I completely restarted the project again as UNION Spaceship ...

<t>Hi all, The Engineering UI is progressing very well, here is the latest screenshot: The left side of the wheel is now dedicated to showing the details and options for the selected system. Each system (Weapons, Shields, Engines etc.) has modules connected which draw power from it (such as turrets ...

Thanks guys. I have taken off a few days from my day job next week to work on Engineering, I hope to have a video of it working next weekend.

<t>Hi all, Just a quick update of my progress on UNION with an animation test of the Engineering UI: [url]http://www.indiedb.com/games/union-cooperative-spaceship-simulator/videos/ui-engineering-screen-animations-wip#imagebox[/url] I tried uploading it to YouTube for embedding but for some reason ...

<t>Long time since my last update. At the moment I am only working on UNION in my spare time, which has been limited as of late. I have made progress though, and finally have something new to show; the Engineering UI. This is the UI which the ship Engineer will use to manage power and damage control ...

<t>Any plans for a mobile version of the game? Just thinking this sort of game where each person takes a station might work well on the IPhone/pad devices. I am building it with tablets in mind, and all UIs are designed to be used with touch, so porting it to iOS and Android later on wouldn't be an ...

<t>Nice looking layout WiredMark, I take it that this is all controlled by the mouse. That would make a great touchscreen interface as well. Thank you. It has been my goal to make it accessible via mouse and touch interface, with connections made by dragging from core "nodes" to the system in ...

Hi all, Here are some examples of power management with the Engineering UI's "wheel":

Hi Paul,Your dedication to Void Destroyer has been a real inspiration, it helped me believe in my own work on UNION.I hope your Kickstarter is a huge success and I will be backing and following it closely.All the best,Mark

<t>Hi WiredMark, as I offer to all developers. If you need forum space to discuss your game you only have to ask and I will create one for your game here, all I ask is that you use it.I really appreciate the offer, but I don't think UNION's following is large enough to sustain a forum yet (though it ...

<r>Hey mate.I really like the concept of your game so far and if you don't mind, could you tell us a bit more about your game, such as background story, maybe some details on what is the main purpose of the player in this game, like becoming the ultimate explorer/trader/merc. Will the game be ...

<t>Hi PINBACK, I only just saw your reply, apologies for the delay. I've never played I-War, though I'll check it out. The ship in the video is called a Kite (or "Kite class frigate") and it's shape is inspired by birds of prey (not the Klingon kind). It is being designed as a good all-rounder in ...

<r>This is this latest footage from my game, UNION:<YOUTUBE id="M9rl05sg9-U"><s>[media]</s>http://youtu.be/M9rl05sg9-U<e>[/media]</e></YOUTUBE> The lag/jerkiness in this video is caused by the screen capture software, the actual experience is perfectly smooth] UNION is a cooperative spaceship ...

<t>There's probably nobody reading these posts now, but what the hell.I've really taken the flight system to "the next level".Each ship in UNION now has 12 thrusters and 2+ engines which are individually simulated to maneuver the ship.There are two major benefits to this. The first is much more ...
