<t>Yea, Arena is what used to be Elite's "CQC" mode. It looks like its becoming popular to segment out the mutiplayer parts of a game for sale separately; Humble Bundle is currently offering a similar thing (the multiplayer pvp only) for one of the Call of Duty games. CQC/Arena is fun. I'd recommend ...

<t>I can confirm from other sources this will be playable online, with matchmaking, though I can't imagine it being a great experience to play with randoms. For people who have access to a larger pool of potential fans though (via a guild, say, or forums like this one) I can see some teams forming ...

If this works... oh Great Bird of the Galaxy let this be good. I don't care if its set in the Abrams-verse. Just let it be good. 

<t>Hey Leo, I'm really enjoying this game! I just started playing the Campaign and wanted to let you know about a small typo I found. In the second assignment, "Protect a convoy of freighters as they approach port.", the description says "... and escort them to them to their destination port ..." If ...

<t>Hey DarkOne, thanks a ton for posting the link! I'm so tired from the big push to finish this release while handling work stuff that I just kinda plopped it up there with none of the usual accompanying fanfare. For the next episode I'll try to do a proper post with images, more of an explanation ...

<t>FINALLY! The first episode of the campaign is live on Google Play. These five missions see you commanding a frigate at the start of the UCTE-Ikha'ari war. The campaign will be released in five episodes for a total of 21 missions; each episode will center around a different plyable ship, including ...

<t>I think as long as squadron 42 provides a great branching story that is entertaining and where you get attached to characters I think people will love it. I don't always remember the combat aspects of the WC games I remember the characters and plot. So if they do a good job it will be a nice tie ...

<t>Hello gmbeatnik! My own game (Darkdawn Encounters) is heavily influenced by Starfleet Command, which itself is based on Star Fleet Battles, so I guess there is some common DNA there. I'm much more of an Android user than iOS (so I didn't usually get iOS games, though I do develop for the platform ...

Good to know they are still going. I saw a conference by them during Unite 2013! Makes me feel not so bad about taking a long time with my own project :p

<t>This manufactured drama surrounding Star Citizen frankly really upsets me. I'm a software developer, and my own little space game is hosted here. I've been working at it for years; almost all my weekends, my late nights; its what I want to do more than anything. However, real life gets in the way ...

<t>As of last week, both Android and Windows versions of DD:E have been fully updated to version 0.92b. This latest release adds the first few of Matt Fossa's new music tracks to the game, and introduces the Captain's Office, the campaign mode and story hub of the game. Here is where your Captain ...

<r>It's my pleasure to announce that composer Matthew Fossa will be providing an original score for Darkdawn: Encounters! Matt has long been a fan of space games and space-inspired music. Recently, his Star- Citizen-inspired album "Forward Reflections" was featured in the official SC show "The World ...

<t>Hey Pinback, DarkOne, glad you enjoyed the update! Yes, I was very fortunate to get a job so quickly. It was actually a place I'd interviewed before, but I'd gone with the "work from home" job. That first time they had actually taken a bit long to get back to me (and I was right out of graduate ...

<t>Hello everyone! I would like to start by apologizing for “going silent” for so long. Let me get to the big question first: NO the game is NOT cancelled, abandoned, or even on hold. It never has been. Development DID slow down significantly for a while, but at no point did it stop. In fact ...

Hey, I'm still cracking away at Darkdawn, so hit me up

<t>As of today, Darkdawn Encounters is up on the Windows Store for all Windows 8.1 devices. Even better, if you've got the Windows Phone version, you also have the Windows Store version, and vice versa. The windows version has mouse/keyboard controls and full support for XBox 360/One gamepads. Grab ...

<t>Gearbox Entertainment has Homeworld and will be re-releasing the first two in "remastered" form: http://www.homeworldremastered.com/[/url] There is, or was (haven't heard much from them lately) a team working on a prequel/sequel to Homeworld, but it apparently is more ground focused. Its a ...

I've only played a bit of it, but Nexus: The Jupiter Incident is usually considered a good example of that kind of game. 

Hah its a long post so as I was getting to the halfway point I was thinking "man, this guy really needs to check out Rogue System.... oh".

Interesting. It lists a 17M budget and a 2015 release date, so it doesn't sound like they're going "summer blockbuster" with it; still, its worth keeping an eye on.
