Wishlisted for when it finally releases!
Graphics remind me of some of the work of Jean Giraud (Moebius).
Which is not a bad thing.
It almost had me... until the card based combat. Ugh. Its like Ironclad Tactics all over again.
very intrested...whshlisted!
is the music OST on youtube or somewhere so I can check it?
looks interesting

Right now the build is only for Windows, but we are planning on bringing it to other platforms like Linux and MAC as we progress with the early access.

Starmaker: Preordered, though I'm sad to see who the publisher is. Living in Russia, I hate hate hate this mutant leech penis hydra from outer space. The devs should've partnered with OJ, Bernie Madoff and the ghost of Elliot Rodger and come out ahead ethics-wise.
Would you please elaborate?

(I've already bought the game on the other site; I didn't know it was coming to GoG ?! Should've checked "Upcoming" tag I guess...)

1C makes shitty but ubiquitous accounting software; said status was achieved by alternately bribing or threatening various govt agencies into using it exclusively and demanding the same from small businesses. They used to hide licensing terms for said software for end users (bury them in a series of sequentially numbered news bulletins about random shit, issued monthly since the company's founding, the contents of which are a trade secret) and leave it to their "partners" (it wasn't possible to buy the software directly) to invent them and squeeze the end users as dry as they wanted. Partners bulletins used to advertize the fact: there were minimum prices for software, partners could buy it for 50% off or less depending on previous sales volume, then resell for as much as they wanted. Partners were not allowed to sell for less than the minimum or indeed publish the prices at all, to prevent end users from shopping around.

If their relationship with your partner soured (e.g. if the partner couldn't meet ever-increasing sales goals), they would audit your ass, find noncompliance (obviously) and demand money for software "upgrades" to achieve compliance again (to be bought from another partner, naturally), under threat of sending you to a notoriously rapey Russian prison / labor camp for piracy (small businesses) or "embezzlement" (govt agencies). Partners also got in on the action: "hey, remember when we told you to upgrade from 8.1303 to 8.1303a last year by buying this promo expansion pack for $3000? well guess what, turns out you were ineligible and the promo's ended, all your licenses are invalid, so cough up $20000 by yesterday morning".
Finally a cartoony art style that actually looks pretty good.

How do you threaten a russian government agency? Aren't they usually the ones doing the threatening?

By bribing higher-ups or law enforcement. Any agency, in the end, is still made up of individual replaceable people (some of whom are playing a game of musical chairs for the most bribable positions, and others are just trying to do their jobs). No chief accoutant wants to get fired for an embarrassing accounting mistake that has crept into this year's report because they haven't been using the best in accounting software, 1C: Enterprise 8!

So cool that this game is coming to GOG.com as well. Just bought it on Steam recently.
love the art style but am rapidly running out of game content. Are there forums to check on dev progress?

thamk you. I was finding general fora about games in development but when I searched, I got back to the general comments section in GOG itself.
Bumping this because I just bought the game. And I *think* it's getting a full release May 31.

Duskers came up on sale (I've been wanting to play this the last week or so - something about hunkering down behind my monitor in the dark, drinking a big beer and pretending I really AM on my derelict ship directing drones... yes I need a life). When it showed up in the Daily Deal I had to get it.

Also grabbed Children of Zodiarcs which I almost bought on release - so $10 was a no brainer... both these games together reminded me of this game LOL. You know, turn based tactical card driven RPG (Zodiarcs) mixed with sending your fragile little party over to a derelict space hulk (Duskers).

Did a quick search and it looks like this one might be coming out of In Dev at the end of the month. It was another one I almost picked up on (fake) Day One and I figured if it gets a price hike on "real" release I'm covered.
