KickStarter Universe Edge

[m_s0]

I've just stumbled upon this:

In Universe Edge, You will be able to build a spaceship, spacestation, build a base on planets or asteroids. Build and interconnect equipments that has their own functionality that will contribute on your ship's overall performance. Manage your crew, and guide them to survive.

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/rebellion534/universe-edge

Looks kinda neat so far. Apparently it's a one-man project and there's a pre-alpha demo available. Anyone played it yet?

Looks a bit like a fuglier Space Engineers with crew management and a proper UI, interesting.

You have to adjust your expectations with these projects. I'd expect getting some fun out it, not necessarily a finished product (whatever that means these days), $60 worth of content or anything like that. I'd be willing to "risk" a couple of bucks on this, especially since the developer has something to show and isn't just riding on nostalgia and empty promises.

Speaking of the developer, I almost skipped this when I was reading the Kickstarter page:

Hi everyone! I am currently working on the game alone, doing everything in every aspect. I am very lucky to live during this time that there are so many great tools and resources out there that enabled me to easily work on an ambitious game like Universe Edge.

I am originally from the Philippines, but I just recently moved here in California to pursue my game development career. I have been programming for over 4 years now, and worked as a GUI Programmer in the Philippines for 2 years.

I started my game dev adventure on 2010 through Youtube video tutorials and asking a lot of questions on the gamedev forums. Today, I am working on my dream game.

I don't know whether that's reassuring or not, frankly speaking
