Very interesting, I would have liked more of a description of what was really planned for the game because the written description is still vague. But from the description it sounds like you will be able to do both ground and space based combat from ship. $150k isn't a huge amount but it is a nice sum of money, I hope the reach their goal because it will be nice to see what is created. I think any in-game screenshots would go a long way to help perk interest.

That's definitely something to keep an eye on.You have to give credit to developers being propelled by genuine enthusiasm, making their dream games because they want to, not because they have to.

Hi all - thank you for the interest in Starlight Inception. We were just invited by Geraldine to come visit the forum and I'm happy we are here.We would love to answer any questions and are happy to gather your feedback for the team.Starlight Inception is a realistic 1st person / 3rd person free-roaming space combat experience. It has a unique blend of action with an involving storyline. Features include ship based combat both in space and on planets and moons, interplanetary exploration, and multiplayer dogfighting. The economy is based on accomplishing mission goals and is measured in command points (or prestige). The more command points you accumulate, the more currency you have to trade for better fighters, better weapons, more equipment and other items. The game isn't all about combat though - you also have the ability to salvage, rescue individuals and take them aboard, and engage in other non-combat objectives while blowing things up in space and over planets.Thank you again!Melissa, VP Escape Hatch Entertainment

So will your pilot be able to get out of the ship As you say it's "free roaming" will the player be flying for different groups. How do yo move from star system to star system hope you not using jumpgate which just jump to the next system as in the Xgames. I like Mr Gaber Space 1999 eagle model he has in the background of the his vid

Look like their not going to make their funding goal as they are short about $100 000 and only have 9 days to go.

Escape Hatch Entertainment should have done a little more self promotion before starting the kickstarter, this way people would have known about what the game is and what they planned on doing with it. With the goal of over $100k that is pretty sizeable sum and I just think they could have made it with a little bit more interaction with various communities, did a few Q&A's and just continue to work silently on the project until there was some decent fan base around the game and then I would think they could make their goal.

Hi all - we wanted to let you know that we posted a Q&A video on our Kickstarter update ([url]http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/732[/url] ... ontm/posts) as well as on youtube ( This helps answer a lot of questions about gameplay. We would be happy to answer any questions as well.@ PINBACK: As far as the pilot question - we are still fleshing out the details but we are looking into that as well as other cool possibilities.@ DARKONE: You are correct that we should have started our PR campaign before starting Kickstarter. We just felt the time was now with Kickstarter so we went for it. But as we say in our Q&A video, we have learned a lot. However ideally we should have been generating press for 6-8 months prior. We have been out on the forums, doing questions via email, local newspaper, and International press. However the larger places have all but ignored our requests. We are certainly working hard at getting the word out as are our wonderful supporters and backers. We are tweeting, Facebooking, interviewing, just about whatever we can do! If you have any suggestions, we are open!Thanks again!Melissa, VP Escape Hatch Entertainment

hi there! I have just donated $30 for the noble cause! Just a simple question, but should the campaign fail (I certainly hope it doesn't!) do you have a plan B to assure the completion and release of this gem?

Same question as already asked if the Kickstarter fails do you intend to continue development of the game then redo another kickstart at some point in the future.

I just donated to this worthy project yesterday. I pre-ordered a PS Vita and am a huge fan of classic space sims like Wing Commander and X-Wing. So, it's like this project was made for me. I really hope it gets funded! $78,000+ and climbing. Fingers crossed!Andrew

They are just a little over half way there and three days left, that is a tall order but not impossible. It is very hard for a new IP to get funding like this (over $100k) because no one usually knows the team or the game. If anything this was a nice advertising boost for Starlight Inception and now the team can work on getting some in-game screenshots and gameplay videos together, even in a alpha state this helps a game get more attention and hype because the community just isn't taking your word that the game will be epic. Then re-try the kickstarter and I think they will make funding no problem.That's just my .02 of course

Starlight Inception has added the Sony Playstation 3 as a target platform for its release in August of 2013. We are thrilled to be able to offer the game on this additional platform - we believe the capabilities of the device are well suited to showcase our game and its many facets.
