So, the guys working on Eterium have let me know today that they've set up a
Kickstarter. If anyone feels like throwing a few bucks at an indie space sim, check it out (and try the
demo)!
I've been chatting to Andrew and David (Agentfx, the guy who posted above) about their plans for the finished product, and I've actually given them a great big chunk of feedback after playing through the demo - which is to say, there's definitely room for improvement. What I like about this project, though, is that they've been very open and positive about my comments (which I arrogantly believe are invaluable
), I didn't get any bullshit about how "we're happy with this the way it is" or "we're staying true to our vision" et cetera. So, while I'm not about to give them an "oh, this will be the best thing ever" kind of endorsement, I do think it's a nice project to check out and support for WC fans.
The only thing I really don't like about it is the faces they use for cutscenes - but that's one of the things they want to change. Hopefully I can persuade them to buy FaceGen and create Standoff-style 3d talking heads cutscenes (just, you know, better than the stone-age talking heads we had)...
