Spacebourne

[MadMaxHellfire]

Turks cannot into space.
Defining this game "amateurish" would hugely compliment it, because an amateur maybe can't do but knows what he likes, and this... thing is nothing any space game lover would like. Ships are eternal, they don't need any kid of fuel or supply, distances don't really exist because every time the hyperspace is activated some random numbers appear below the target, a few seconds and you're in your new instance. I chose the life of the pirate, and the first thing I did has been clicking on an inert debris and waiting. I've been doing that for an hour. There are xp and levels, and equipent and ships are level locked and levels come veeeeery slow. The ships sheet lists the speed in... I don't know, this ship has 15000 speeds. There's a lot of typos already in the character selection screenb bugs start appearing from having the mandatory map up and activating a console, which is the second thing you do in the game after creating the character and moving around for 5 seconds.

I've played worse, but this is a serious contender for last place.

Starts off laughably bad with terrible voice acting and a bad translation, but just stick with it. Turn "invert Y axis" for the ground controls on in the settings.
The ship gameplay is lodsa fun and has decent music.

HATE NEWSPAPERS

Charted galaxy I guess?

It's a fully 3D map

hehe boobs

 

[rusty_shackleford]

btw Infinitron not sure what takes precedence for subforum location, but this is definitely an RPG.

 

[rusty_shackleford]

Space stations have a lot of people that walk around but the game is pretty janky, therefore

TRAFFIC PILEUP, THE CRASH WAS HORRIFIC

I think this game was made by one guy which is really impressive tbh

 

[lightbane]

According to the Steam reviews it feels horribly unfinished, with grammar errors, bugs aplenty and so on. Is there a storyline to follow, or is this just a sandbox with no objectives other than "play until you're bored"?

There's a storyline and main missions, yeah.
Good deal of grammar errors and spelling mistakes, it was translated to English by the dev I guess. But I'm having fun so far.

 

[rusty_shackleford]

ayyy lmao

 

[Zed Duke of Banville]

Seems to have accomplished more than Star Citizen.

 

[Jack Of Owls]

Probably worth the $3.00 I paid for it on Steam sale earlier this week. I'll get around to playing it someday, I think.

 

[JDR13]

I also grabbed it during the Steam sale. I played for a couple of hours last night, and I'm really glad I only paid $3 for it.

The visuals are decent, and the ship mechanics aren't bad, but the first-person gameplay is terrible. I quit after reaching the first space station. It just feels unfinished.

 

[Cyberarmy]

Second one it's way it seems, maybe he'll do a better job this time.

 

[Trans-Financial-Man]

Kickstarter looks okay. Quite ambitious for what it is. Especially considering the last game. Which was an okay budget title. I played it. It was just okay. I liked walking around stations. But I don't know how one guy can make full TPS combat and ship interiors and all that jazz. I don't know how and more importantly if this lad is going to pull off all the things he's talking about. I will be watching this one from a sensible distance.

Is it me or does the UI look photoshopped in?

This one in particular has smoke that doesn't look quite right. Especially where the red numbers are. It looks fake. Like it's been added in post.

 

[Zed Duke of Banville]

Kickstarter is just shy of the half-way mark for its funding goal, while time left is slightly over half (22 days left, but it began January 1 with more than the standard 30 days). Since Kickstarter contributions tend to be heavier at the opening, this means it has almost certainly failed.

 

[ShaggyMoose]

Bounty for Janky Janko... Is that the result of some suspiciously fitting procedural generation, or self-awareness on the part of the developer?

 

[ShaggyMoose]

There's a storyline and main missions, yeah.
Good deal of grammar errors and spelling mistakes, it was translated to English by the dev I guess. But I'm having fun so far.

I asked the dev about this on Steam and he said that unfortunately he effectively hard-coded the translations... Thankfully, he said he won't make that mistake again so he can outsource translations/corrections to the community.

 

[ShaggyMoose]

I think this game was made by one guy which is really impressive tbh

Yes, seriously impressive. Executive Assault 2 is another game with a single dev behind it that is hard to believe looking at the scope and quality. People who have this level of artistic ability and are able to code effectively amaze me.

I did notice that the Kickstarter kept talking about "we" though, so maybe he enlisted some help.

 

[MadMaxHellfire]

or perhaps it's written like that to make it feel less miserable than "i".

 

[Harthwain]

On paper Spacebourne 2 sounds like an incline: a space-faring simulation RPG with added ability to move around in third-person. It's sad that such ambitious projects don't receive recognition they deserve. Mass Effect should've been more like this game.
