Hi, the game looks awesome ... Q. Are you planning includ alien race, maybe even several alien races, with other weapon types and staff? or just other faction with similar ships in different colors, I hope not :)

We don't want another abandoned or unfinished project so it is just factional warfare in the first game. That said if the crowdfunding goes wild we'll consider it.

I like that. If you want to build something you start by the base, then slowly and carefully introduce new ideas, explore new areas and grow from a solid base.

We're working real hard to try and keep Shallow Space down to a manageable amount.

I know with this fan base you have it will be reached. I just hope it won't take long like PA...

It may even surpass HW remastered if it will be released by this year... I like the ship detail and how weapons fire and see the projectiles. Gives me the impression of Nexus and HW2

The creator actually is making Shallow Space because of nostalgia for those game and a lack of "modern" Nexus/HW

Nexus boast on individual Ship control and Detail/Technology per ship while HW is more of the True 3D Space RTS. I think shallow space will be embraced by HW fans like me.
