RE: Presenting Star Nomad 2, a mix of squad-tactical combat, RTS/RPG, sandbox spacesim!

<t>On the other hand, you can't please everyone. If you try the game will end up casual and lose alot of your intended audience. You make too many changes and adjust too much of the core vision for people who really aren't ready for this type of game, and is going to suffer for it. I'd say stick to ...

RE: Presenting Star Nomad 2, a mix of squad-tactical combat, RTS/RPG, sandbox spacesim!

<t>I get a lot of negs for the Killing Blow mechanic. But I think it's fun and more interesting once you get used to it than simply "pew pew mindlessly not paying attention".. I've realized you just cannot please everyone... http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561197972191222/recommended/414950 ...

RE: Presenting Star Nomad 2, a mix of squad-tactical combat, RTS/RPG, sandbox spacesim!

<r>Ooh this is good. Much better than I was expecting. Also... challenging! I'm reminded of SR2 or Privateer as opposed to Starpoint Gemini 2 and Ev Nova. Only put an hour in, but had to restart due to poor decisions lol. The developer is fantastic and has answered all of my questions on the steam ...

It's live on Steam! http://store.steampowered.com/app/414950[/url] :) Happy to give out a few keys to the moderators of this site so that they can do a giveaway to fellow spacesim fans! Please let me know if that's something you guys are interested.

RE: Why is it that...

<t>I can't say for others, but I like spacesims like the oldschool Elite, Wing Commander, Privateer, Escape Velocity etc... Where you are in the thick of action, trading, exploring, smuggling etc. Not one where I just build rockets and launch, watch it unfold.. it's just not my type of game, but I ...

RE: Void Destroyer 2 - announcement/reveal - space sandbox, combat and RTS

Nah Star Citizen won't fur-fill every ones dreams and it's an online only game which will put many off it. SQ42 is a single player standalone, like Wing Commander 3/4 with a real big star cast. :)

RE: Void Destroyer 2 - announcement/reveal - space sandbox, combat and RTS

<t>Good luck with the KS! But I fear Star Citizen has sucked all the crowd funding money from the space genre games.. Even the Descent reboot *barely* got their funding. Amazing to see 2014, Star Citizen out-funded every game combined. O_ohttp://www.gamasutra.com/view/news/256437/Report_Last_year ...

<r>I had a guy contact me saying he thought it was just another generic top-down space shooter... he asked me what's special about it... Then it struck me, I am doing a terrible job at immediately selling it, that's its unique, combining gameplay elements from very popular games. That should be the ...

RE: Presenting Star Nomad 2, a mix of squad-tactical combat, RTS/RPG, sandbox spacesim!

Yes, you are right. I wasn't expecting success on KS since there's no coverage for it, very few visits to the KS page at all in total. Well, I will focus my effort on making the game great and hope that it can sell itself. *Fingers crossed* :)

RE: Presenting Star Nomad 2, a mix of squad-tactical combat, RTS/RPG, sandbox spacesim!

<r>As the game comes together into a complete package, I'm seeing a potential there for some much needed enhancements, such as story-telling scenes and a unique soundtrack & sound effects to really lift the game into the next level. So I've launched a small Kickstarter campaign to try get the ...

RE: Presenting Star Nomad 2, a mix of squad-tactical combat, RTS/RPG, sandbox spacesim!

Thanks, I think GOG is pretty selective? My current plan is just to hopefully pass Greenlight. The game is DRM free, you can launch it offline/without Steam (the folders have an exe), but it does have Achievement/Cloud Save that works on Steam.

The inertia is a nice touch!I need to playtest this some more before I give some feedback, but before ...
