Title: Stars of Barathrum
Post by: K9 on October 13, 2012, 01:45:25 AM
The rumour mill is up and running about Valve's new IP, an open-world space sim (http://www.facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1217651)

If this is real, colour me all types of excited.

Who is "Facepunch," and why should I believe them?

Heh.

Now we have two space sims that probably won't launch, one due to "what's a Chris Roberts" and the other due to "when we're done polishing".  :awesome_for_real:

I'm hoping they make it episodic.  They should be able to release more content earlier and on a regular basis.

Only as long as the ships are powered by hat based fusion.

You can play Notch's Aspergers in Space while you wait.

True evil would be a design that requires special fuel from the in-game store in order to travel at FTL to another system.

Now that I've said that out loud, I'm sure someone will try it. -_-

Heh. Every time I think about what Notch's space game may turn into, I think FTL.

Oh, and, I can't play that yet either, because as a "when I get bored enough to get around to it" Notch game, it's in the very damned-same high promise bucket as "what's a Chris Roberts" and "when we're done polishing".

Energy, Resources, and Time. These three game announcements are a space sim!
