Kickstarter - Elite 4 "Elite Dangerous"
November 27th, 2012, 12:38
A couple of years ago, infinity was very promising. It had the best planets, gas giants, terrain, atmosphere, etc. I have seen so far (graphics-wise that is). Very interesting technical reads too.

Unfortunately development slowed down and last year they finally decided to focus solely on developing/selling the engine instead of making the game. Now if only Braben would license the engine, then he could focus on art and gameplay.
Edit: Just saw they finally have a new update out. They are planning to do a kickstarter in Q1 2013, I'll probably back that instead of Elite 4.

Might aswel play eve online(Witch is great game but to many political issues,unless you decide to be outlawed pirate) while waiting for above game.

Freelancer seems a bit old. Regarding Eve Online we seek multiplayer games but avoid MMORPG's since we like control over our game and play cooperatively on a private server. Going to look closer at Evochron Mercenary.

Yes it is/was a massive multiplayer game, but I think such games are ideal for that. As long as they have enough single player content (space citizen's concept is logical and ideal as far as I understand it).
However, I have read up on their forums and seems there is still quite a lot of work to the engine alone. And there is some confusing information that the planned kickstarter next year is only for an 'arena' game, which I have zero interest in.

If arena in the style of star conflict that will not interest me more.

Unfortunately we want control over our own content so we aren't interested in MMORPG games. A specific reason for this is that there's a great risk a human player begin to rationalize and optimize the game mechanics and it's limits, starting a battle between programmer and players. When that happen on a server they tend to break the game and it's immersion.
We have however set up a server for Evochron Mercenary and we have started to play. We are really enthusiastic so far.

By the looks of it, I doubt this will succeed. The bidding stalled too early and it's now only 8 days left with 300k left to rise. I personally upped my bid a bit but that's just me.

Its touch and go but I think they will make it. They are smack bang in the middle of the Kicktraq projection, it depends how big the final "spurt" will be - for example I thought Godus was doomed but they made it after all.

Damn it's close… 3 days to go and 70k to grind…

They've made it! £1.26m, 50 hours still to go. If they reach £1.4m there will be a Mac version, and with £1.5m 10 new playable ships.

It's getting a fair amount of press coverage for being the highest Kickstarter goal to get successfully funded.
