AWKWARD ZOMBIE

Do you want to talk about a game having something to do with space? You've come to the right place!

To start the thread off, I stumbled upon this.

Kinda seems like the best game ever to me, although doesn't look like it'll come out anytime soon. I would love to play this so much if it was out right now. Thoughts?

This seems another one of those overly ambitious projects by completely inexperienced developers that have been popping up lately. I'll reserve judgement until there are gameplay trailers and the like.

I'm thinking the same thing, but there are plenty of video demos on their website, showing them flying around, landing on a planet, etc.

Also, this could serve as a general space game thread if needed. There are plenty of good games set in space that could be discussed.

I thought this was the tabletop miniatures game by the same name.
That games pretty good. Better than 40k

Those are all tech demos and still in pre-alpha. Also the most recent one is from 2010.

I guess you could but rename the thread then, or it won't make much sense.

The developers of the game said that the main roadblock for them is not having the funding to work on it fulltime, and that they are planning on making a kickstarter of some sort, so hopefully that route will allow the game to eventually come to a console near you! Probably not anytime soon though, so I'm not gonna wait and clamor over it forever.

Meanwhile, I tried out Endless Space in a free weekend at the beginning of December, and had much fun playing it, and bought it during the Christmas sales. It's a fun game very similar to Civilization, although it lacks a few things to really put it at the top of my favorite games list. Has anyone else played it?

Righto then, space games.

Squadron 42/Star Citizen, ARE YOU HYPE

Also please tell me someone else has played Freelancer.

I have too much SCII: HotS hype for any other space game.

I'm hype for Star Citizen and Squadron 42. I'll never be able to run them but I want to so bad.

I can't wait for Blockade Runner to be released. Being able to build your own spaceship with blocks like Minecraft and then duke it out will be absolutely epic.
