Wow, you're quick. I saw this at Blues News. It's being developed by a start-up called Novacore. Hopefully publisher Kalypso won't get our expectations up too high like they did with Dark Star One.[url]http://www.novacore-studios.de/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=50&Itemid=57&lang=en[/url]

Judging from the info available it will be a bog-standard 4x game which is a shame. I also have my reservations when it comes to the developer. Reading the press release I found several errors and inconsistencies, but this one is down right glaring:"The 4X space simulation will put players in control of the last surviving humans, as they explore space in a quest to expand their galactic empire. "I mean wtf, they are the last surviving humans but they have a galactic empire and they want to expand ?

Maybe they are clones I also thought that the game seemed a bit bog standard in that it doesn’t appear to offer any thing new.

Well regardless it's a 4x games so it's definitely on my radar. I just wouldn't hold my hopes too high.

We very much regret to inform that the Novacore Studios UG has to quit the operation and further development work because of insolvency. We thank all of our employees and partners for their cooperation during the last two years.

Yes, it is official.The developer will be shut down and they are not able to release the source code of the game. So community patches are also very unlikely.The game looked so promising and all previews were very positive. And what did we get? Pretty much nothing for 40€ <img src="'[url]http://spacesimcentral.com/forum/public/style_emoticons//suicide.gif[/url] class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':suicide:' />I still hope Kalypso won't let that game just die but if they do I can add another publisher to my 'do-not-buy' list.And the German forums of Kalypso are full of frustrated customers.
