Was going to eventually! So what happened between the original post and now:
Everyone knows projects, especially indie ones, almost never turn out as planned and most die in development (hello FPS mod community!)
Starfall did not. Almost did, but we got some version of it out which is better than nothing! :D
So we worked on this all spring, and then at some point we said "Shit, this is getting too big, we arent going to be able to do this in reasonable time, what should we do?"
Answer: We went back and did the sequel to our first game, Pyro and released that in August.
We then returned to Starfall, now we thought "Okay, how can we strip this down and still make it fun?"
We had some cool ideas for using the 3d. Noteably, I wanted to do a "chase" level where the camera is positioned in front of your ship's nose, facing backward so you can see what's behind you. You'd then be chased by an enemy and you have to dodge left and right to avoid his attacks. I thought it would look cool.
But the more we talked about it, the bigger it got again, and we decided to just cut our losses and work on something else.
Then Kongregate came out with this contest:
http://www.kongregate.com/stride_game_contest?src=mrWe thought "Hey! Starfall's alpha is already pretty much an endurance game! Let's clean it up a bit and throw it in that!"
So we did, but unfortunately it will not see a mass release around the web, and will still linger in obscurity for a while. We hope to return to the property down the line with a more deserving game complete with the full content that people would expect. Until then, we have a very barebones high score shooter, but hopefully it makes some money and means our time spent on it wasn't wasted.
