AdventurOS is an 2.5D RPG/Metroidvania adventure based game that is entirely auto-generated by the content (folders and files) of your computer. Each room, object, enemy, puzzle, key, treasure, boss... Is actually an interpretation of the files you can find on the computer where the game is running, making each adventure as exciting as exclusive for each user

I think they made a mistake by not including Sword of the Stars in the project title. The franchise is well known enough.

Hmm, looks a bit like Sword of the Stars + Armageddon Empires. I am intrigued.

What I don't understand is, what's the deal with making spinoffs of a mediocre 4X strategy game which had a terrible sequel. I like "The Pit", but what did it have to do with Sword of the Stars besides the throwaway space sci-fi setting?

I don't know, personally, I just hope Kerberos does well with it so I can see more stuff related to The Pit. Maybe a possibly rumored squad-based game I think I heard about somewhere in their forums, although that last bit could be just wishful thinking on my part :)

Right, but do you know who owns SoTS trademark? Wasn't the original published by Stardock?

The devs just saying "DRM-free" isn't good enough on KS anymore, you need to extract from them a specific promise to release on GOG. Remember Shadowrun Returns?

From where I stand, Kerberos seems to own the trademark considering they've developed a game titled "Sword of the Stars: The Pit" and I haven't heard of any lawsuits being launched their way about the name. I don't know the specifics about the first SoTS game as far as publishing and whatnot.

Maybe ask Kerberos themselves?

Fair enough, I did just ask them a question actually, but about PC/tablet GUI.

I think if you help get the game made then you deserve a bit of exclusive content as long as the content isn't kept exclusive for all time. See how Fist Puncher did it with the Robot Unicorn DLC character.

oh i remember. ^_^

at least it isnt a dental extraction level just to get them to commit to "DRM-free" anywhere.

the part 2 (in avoiding SRR-esque pitfalls) to DRM-free is will it be DRM-free to non-backers. ie future customers.

they have HumbleStore listed so at least it will be DRM-free *somewhere* that isnt just their own servers/company website.

---

you knowz it; i already spammed them about a GOG.com release.

id take a GOG code for their game over any of the other 'options' were it on offer, or could be made on offer.
