Terran Ascension - An RPG in Space

Terran Ascension is trying to be greenlit on Steam and says it is this:

This is a Space Based RPG following Humanity as it transitions to a Type 2 Civilisation.
Developed by a two man indie studio named Shogunate Games.

When can we play the Game?
We are currently in the early pre-alpha stage. Currently we are planning our first Alpha stage to allow wider testing of the game. There will be closed and open Alpha Phases, before moving into Beta before the Summer.

What can we look forward to in the Game?
We hope to share as much of the development process as possible. There will be Interplanetary Trading, Smuggling, Transporting Passengers, Mining of Asteroids and more. We hope to have enough time to put in a working Quest system with a multiple choice driven Storyline.

What Works?
Interplanetary Travel, Trading, Docking, Pirate Patrol, Pirate Seek, Pirate Boarding, Saving & Loading, 8 Planets, 2 Belts for Mining.

What is Planned?
We put up a Trello Page to give an idea of the direction and format the game is heading into here:

Will the Game be Free-to-Play?
This being our first game we have plans to make more Games when Terran Ascension is Finished. Our Game will be priced modestly alongside similar titles available at time of Launch.

Will there be a Kickstarter Campaign?
We cannot rule that out, however we have no plans to start a funding campaign. This is our First Game and we only started development in December 2015. With that said we have made encouraging progress, A great many things including Trading and interplanetary travel are already working as shown in February's preview videos.

What Platforms will This Game be available on?
Terran Ascension is currently being built for Windows Operating Systems in 64-bit. We have no plans for console or mobile adaptations, however it is within scope if there is enough interest.

Thanks Eye.

The guy chooses Charmer and gets a leopard skinned ship!?

Compared to other space games the ships here look very basic in their outlines let alone the textures. Of course everything is temporary but the outlines should at least be interesting. Not too impressed so far. I want to immerse myself in an rpg not cringe at it.

Mind you I'll keep my fingers crossed regardless as they could add some depth to the game.

No. Just …no.

This look rough… too rough.

At least it's not pixel art or RPG Maker.

According to their Steam page they are two months in development, so this is the result of that effort. On the bright side, they are already 3 weeks ahead of schedule

I don't care for what it looks like now, but a lot could change since it is still way too early to even guess what the completed project might look like. I'll be keeping an eye on this one.

That looks like one gay space ship.
