As one of the Kickstarter backers of this game who has had access to it for a few weeks now, I can attest that it's a great game. Very, very hard, but original and fun. Infinitely replayable. If you like roguelikes, you'll absolutely love it.

:fap: x10

"Incoming! Maximum forward shields!" =P

I am friday. :-(

Is there any word on if it will be modable or custom art, layouts that sort of thing able to be added?

It sort of reminds me of the style of gratuitous space battles and I know that you were able to mod art and values of weapons and other statistics in that.

This is from the FAQ on the website:
[i]
What are your plans for player created content / modding?

It’s something we’d love to have, but will likely be outside of our initial scope. We’re open to considering it post release.[/i]

Hello Friday. Nice to meet you. Have you met saturday? She's gorgeous. Oh and be glad you're not monday. All shitty jobs land on him. ;-) :-p

I don't see them often. I don't get many visits, on that island. :-(

Any idea on release price?

Probably 9.99

It'll be $9.99.

It'll probably be wishlisted then. LOL

Probably $8.99 for the first week.

The game seems quite polished, although I'm unimpressed with the top-down graphics. They coulda done it differently.

It is nothing like gratuitous space battle.

And that top down graphics are absolutely necessary. The game system is unworkable without it.

Basically the game has you controlling the crew and ship systems. You ship is divided into rooms which host the ships various systems. You dispatch your crew to man the various systems, repair them, put out fire, deal with invaders, etc. Sometimes in combat what's happening in your own ship is actually more important than enemy ship. Without the top down birds eye view none of that would work very well.
