This game has been in development for years by one guy in his spare time and is getting ready to launch in a month or so. It's had a successful Kickstarter and has been in Open Beta test for months. If you were a fan of games like Astro Empires or OGame you should give this one a look.

    Any game that schedules something significant to April 1st suffers from serious lack of professionalism and good judgement.

    It'll take weeks before people are certain it's not some kind of elaborate April Fools prank.

    Wasn't "one guy in his spare time" actually you?

    Not saying that to mock you but I do remember you pointing out that you are working on a game.
    I actually liked that you were working more than talking and especially that you left out the hilarious overpromises which seem so popular nowadays.

    Yes it is me! =)

    I am working more than talking for sure. I starting posting about it again because I'm getting close to a launch. Not the "I think maybe I'll have this ready in 3-6 months" prediction, more like the "My To Do List is dried up, the bugs have settled, time for one last reset" kind of thing. I may be "underselling" it I suppose. Perhaps I'm being realistic or humble or stupid, not sure. I am shooting for a slow start then rising up steadily as opposed to a huge burst early that fizzles in 3 months.

    If it goes badly I can always make ridiculous promises and drop the phrase "star citizen"  as a subliminal message in all the marketing to garner millions =)

    A humble and realistic approach is never stupid.

    I wish you luck!

    I would love to go the "Star Citizen" route to vapor-millioniare Unfortunately your "ships" are more like military units that can come and go and be destroyed. Making a special one that you can lose tommarow wouldn't be good BUT perhaps making some way to cosmeticaly modify your normal unit pics MIGHT work.

    You have to have a big player base with a lot of exposure to your stylish cosmetics in game though.

    Great time to start, learn the game for a few weeks in Beta test, then play for real when the new server launches
    @DrDread74 is the developer
