Void Destroyer - fly like X-Wing - command like Homeworld

[chaosavy]

Hey guys - I have a thread here, but now that the game is gone "Kickstarter" I don't know if posting it in the free section still applies. Anyway - I've been coding away at a "game of my dreams" for 4 years now and reached the Kickstarter and Greenlight stage. I got the idea to combine a space sim with real time strategy - with the aim of giving the player a unique gaming experience - you can fly a ship and you can command your forces - so you can do it all - which is how I like my games - with lots of options I always thought that in other space sims the player was too low on the totem pole - I wanted to be both the pilot and the commander, and here we are. Kickstarter: [url][/url] [url]http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=146068036[/url] I hope that you guys check the project out, post any questions/feedback, and tell anyone who might be interested about the project. Here are some screen shots: thanks! Paul

Candy Backer Level! I want the Paul Experience, but I can't afford $125! Do you mind sharing which candies are involved, or is that a trade secret?

Nice ! I wish you all the luck in the world with the KS mate, you and the game sure deserve this kind of recognition.

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

I'll have to create a list of the Candy backer candies - maybe post a photo. You are the 2nd person to comment on pledge amount for it so maybe I'll add a lower candy backer tier  Thanks guys for the help!

I did post a little something on SSC's steam group as well on both Void Destroyer and GoD Factory: Wingmen. Both of these kickstarters need to be successful.

Pledged,best of luck with the Kickstarter Paul It's a very modest 20,000 so I would think you have a very good chance of hitting your target and keep hitting these game sites.

I am backing you, just not decided on the tier yet. Soon!

[chaosavy]

Thanks guys! The 20k goal is an honest number, I thought about it for a long time. That's a good minimum figure to get us to release. Keep in mind that it is only for art assets, so potentially it may seem small due to that.

I am a backer now!!!!! :spiteful: :spiteful:

[chaosavy]

Thanks!

Doing well not far off the half way mark now, lots of updates from Chaosavy as well.

[chaosavy]

Yeah its going very well - the enthusiasm is great. Not much media coverage yet.

[sscadmin]

Almost at 50% Chaosavy, not bad for a few short days. I hope the momentum keeps up, any new updates surprises planned for the kickstarter to help with the hype level? I'm not sure on the process since I haven't used their site to upload anything, but have you thought about uploading your game trailer to gametrailers.com? They have a pretty decent following.

[chaosavy]

That's a great idea - I'll check that out. The near future plan is - I'll be making two more vids - one a trailer featuring combat and highlighting how it looks and feels. And another more talky video talking about the physics engine and decisions involved and benefits etc.

Like the way you have done the updates as a diary of the game. You should get a mention on RPS when they do their Kickstarter roundup at the weekend.

[chaosavy]

Glad you like the history posts. I hope to merge the players, the game and me heh Yeah I emailed them about it - fingers crossed.

Congrats Chaosavy over the half way mark. :drinks:

[chaosavy]

Thanks - space sim fans are a great bunch.

Pic of how the backer names will appear in game. 10 Star General Pinback may be a bit too long.
