TorchShips - Real 3-D Space Combat

[Pinback]

Solo mode confirmed. :good: http://torchships.com/2014/11/19/solo-player-online/[/url] There’s been a lot of controversy in the last few days generated by the announcement[/url] from Elite:Dangerous that they are dropping offline solo play.I am a fan and early backer of the game, and I like what they are building so far, but I do want to make it clear that TorchShips will have a solo offline mode at launch. I won’t release a game that is completely unplayable if we go out of business in the future or a server provider goes offline.

After a long period of silence, the games early access has been cancelled http://torchships.com/2015/06/29/early-access-signups-suspended/[/url] I’ve suspended the early access sign up page for now. I haven’t been able to dedicate as much time as I wanted to TorchShips and progress is slow. I don’t want anyone else signing up for Early Access until I have a clearer idea of what my progress is going to be over the next 3-4 months. I do have some small ‘toy’ demos where I’ve been working out game mechanics that are fairly complete – I’ll try to post those in the next few weeks.If you’ve already signed up for Early Access you are still good for the rewards – but if you’d like to pull out of the program due to the delay don’t hesitate to contact[/url] me and I’ll refund your money.The reason I’ve been so slow on TorchShips the last six months is that I’m doing a large amount of development for the VR startup MergeVR[/url] We are doing some very cool stuff over at MergeVR – the goal is bring mobile VR that works with any face and any phone to the general public via retail stores and online. Take a look if you have a chance Looks like his day job got in the way, hopefully he will return to it in the future.

Had completely forgotten about this until an email pop up about a demo, if you want to try it then head over to [url]https://torchships.com/[/url] mind you it has been four years.Torchships ‘Candle’ is an experiment in simulating exploring and fighting in space. It will begin with individual movement inside a small starting space station, progress from there to EVA, and then on to larger and more capable spacecraft.
This demo is a first test of newtonian movement in zero g inside a small station and inflatable hab.
If you see issues or bugs please leave them at the issue tracker.
Current demo version 0.002
If you already have a previous version installed, please remove/uninstall before downloading the new version.

Wow... 4 years of silence and work was still being done in silence, props to the dev for never giving up the dream. Hopefully I will have time this weekend to give the demo a try.

Agree always great to see a return to a game, looks to have a different art style and I would guess the demo a proof of concept.
