 We are down to less than 48 - so you guys won't be spammed by me any more and I'll have to switch to the liquid form of sleep (caffeine). I've created a Kickstarter Recap update here: [url][/url] You guys have been awesome - special thanks to Pinback and DarkOne for all of their help. Paul

Update for void destroyer Hey guys - thought I'd toss a mini update with a video of a new ship (and sounds) thanks to your support. This is a repair corvette - so you should all expect something to repair in the near future - Beta :)Speaking of Beta - I feel that we are on schedule for the promised - one month post Kickstarter's end date. Although I wish that were would be more new assets to show off and include. Even though money isn't a constraint as it once was, getting assets in is still challenging. Hoping for some more to enhance the gameplay/immersion before Beta.Also - if you haven't voted for the project on Greenlight - please do, ever since the end of the Kickstarter the traffic to it has nearly evaporated. It is a bit of a pain to vote via the link so you can also search for it on the Greenlight page via your Steam client.Thanks guys! Looking forward to the Beta and the future!Paul

Beta coming soon. :good: Beta ETA:For those at the Beta Backer or above levels - ETA on Beta - this week or right after the upcoming weekend. Beta will feature new content, ships, and the continuation of the story.How will you get the Beta? You will get an email to your Kickstarter linked email address with further instructions. In case you don't want to use your Kickstarter linked email address for this, send me a message via Kickstarter with the proper email address. But if your Kickstarter email is ok or "good enough" then keeping things as they are will save me clerical work.If you submitted a name for the pilot names list - now is your chance to remove it before it goes into the Beta/demo version. If so then message me via Kickstarter. So keep this in mind or forever have that name fly in the void. I'll be updating the list this week in prep, it is mostly complete, but there are a few more names to add via that email address that I set up (see first post Kickstarter update here on instructions on how to submit a name if you haven't already).For those at the release level - a updated "demo" version will follow sometime after the Beta version hits. The demo will feature bug fixes and non-content related changes (eg: the unlock system and crash fixes). Looking forward to releasing the Beta - still a bunch of work to do, but the list is getting shorter for this upcoming release.thanks!Paul

Getting closer to the beta. The distribution aspect of the The Beta isn't ready - the installer itself is "fingers crossed" ready. My contact at how we will distribute the Beta isn't around (not a big surprise since it is "tomorrow" morning right now - aka late at night).So - I will email the build to him and hopefully in the morning we'll be closer. I'll keep you guys in the loop and I hope that Beta will be a reality tomorrow.Going to keep this short since I'm about to pass out - lots has been done - many bugs obliterated and hopefully less added

Beta out now :biggrin: 170 meg download will have to try it out later on.

Hey guys! I haven't "promoted/marketed" since Kickstarter... over 60 days I believe. With the recent 100 games being greenlit Void Destroyer jumped up in rankings, we are now in the top 100 (out of over 1300). So I'm devoting some time to get even higher in the rankings. So - if you haven't yet - please vote for Void Destroyer making it into Steam - [url]http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=146068036[/url] (since voting via the web page is somewhat clumsy you can also find Void Destroyer via going to the Steam Client - then clicking Community - then choosing Greenlight and entering in "Void Destroyer" into the search). And if you'd be so kind as to bug your Steam (and other) friends to vote that would be incredibly helpful as well. Here is an updated video of updates since Kickstarter: There is an updated demo on the main site here: [url]http://www.VoidDestroyer.com[/url] so you can check out the changes. Here's a vid where I talk about the recent mouse changes and time dilation system: Thank you! Paul

New update from Kickstarter. My goal is to put out iteration 18 in the next two weeks (hopefully sooner - but lets face it...). For the past week I've been working on putting in the formation system and about an hour of that was on the new SPROG fire mode.Here's a very long video demonstrating:  Direct YouTube link - here.Overall formations are nothing new to real time strategy games - their intended purpose is to better organize and manage fleet positions and movements - however there are some very unique (haven't seen them before) features - one allows you to customize formations (at around the 4:20 mark) and another is the new SPROG fire mode (7:25 mark) so be sure to check those out and let me know what you think.Combining formations and the SPROG fire mode gives you the more firepower at your finger tips than any other game.Iteration 18 will feature these additions (among other changes - check out the still WIP change log here) as well as new story content for the Beta backers.Finally if you haven't voted for us to on Steam's Greenlight or if you haven't bugged all your friends - please do.thanks!Paul

Update and vid for void. Hey guys, hoping to get Iteration 18 out - this coming week. I am a bit dissapointed at not having it ready. The new formation and rally systems have added complications across the board that need a good amount of play testing before you guys can reasonably enjoy the new version and report bugs, issues and give feedback. Here is a video update about what's been going on (recently) behind the scenes: 

[chaosavy]

Hey guys! Iteration 18 is out - featuring many changes including formations, rally points and dust clouds Here's a video showing off the new mine field generating stations:[video=youtube] For more info and to download the demo check out the main page: [url]http://www.VoidDestroyer.com[/url] thanks Paul
