I just peeked at their Steam forum and it made me miss Diantane. 🤣

 

This prompted me to poke around the community hub and the interactions from their dev team - at least the only dev I see active - are not promising.

 

 

Making a 'temper your expectations, our promotions don't actually mean the level of creativity or content we're implying' post the day before your 'make the superhero of your dreams! IN SPAAAAAACE!' game is supposed to release is not the best omen. On a certain creative level I kind of respect them for actually sticking to their guns design-wise (if that's what this is rather than 'we took years and years to make what limited content we have, we won't get non-human items functional in under a decade' thing), but dang if my glimpses here don't give me early CoH forums Statesman flashbacks. Complete with apparently removing and ignoring criticism. At least Jack actually had his games go live when they were supposed to, which imo earns more 'you don't see the creative vision' points to spend versus this nonsense.

So... This game might possibly compete with Rebirth maybe... Rebirth, with it's 35 players might even win.

It looks like it's hitting 'to be announced' status, unfortunately, due to Steam.

I've added the source.

It'll be interesting to see how this goes down in flames pans out if/when it launches. I do think a price and sub fee are going to bite them in the ass.

I'm guessing it might get pushed past labor day at this point, which sucks.
