Many, including myself, were a bit bummed that Rebel Galaxy ended up being 2D. Still, I enjoyed it. Apparently they are now working on a true 3D/cockpit view game similar to Privateer.

Nothing substantive announced other than this tease on Steam forums: http://steamcommunity.com/app/290300/discussions/0/142261352647524185/

Although later in the thread he hints at the fact multiple views might be available and/or capital ships will still be a thing along with fighters.

Good old times of Privateer (2) when CDs were the futuristic medium of choice for mission briefings.

Interesting. Looks like a 1:1 Privateer clone. Still, I'm curious how they want to expand on the formular. Definitely interested.

Someone said they hired or are working with the developer who was making:

http://www.wingsofstnazaire.com/

Which might make sense as that project seemed to have been abandoned about a year ago.

That fella really has been attempting to find ways of turning 3d into pixel art but he'll probably be working in plain 3d on ships.

A recent side project.


And some cool older ones

Reb Galaxy was cool for a playthrough and a half. Then you noticed you'd seen it all before and that there wasn't any life beyond the campaign. Hopefully this one does better and doesn't just lazily cheese on the life part by adding MP.
