Not sure if this one really counts as a 4x title per se; it almost seems like more of a "god game".  Either way, though, it looks damn interesting.

Interesting for sure and worth following. Nice find, Martok.

Somewhere, somehow, I woke up in the wrong timeline. I'm pretty sure this isn't even my dimension.

Good article.

Yep, mine too.  :) 


I missed these before, but the 2nd and 3rd dev journals are now out as well: 


Interstellar Radio Signals


Generation Ships



The one about generation ships especially fascinates me.  I appreciate that the devs appear to be going a little bit more the "hard sci-fi" route with this game.

On my wishlist now also.

I first read about the Fermi Paradox in the Sci Fi books Sempre Mars.

At that price, I do now. Which doesn't mean I'll be playing it anytime soon   ::)

Yeah, I saw that.  I already grabbed it, although like Steelie, I'm not sure when I'll get around to actually playing it.  :P 

I at least wanted to support the devs in purchasing the game, however.  They're trying something a little bit different, which I think is great.

Ditto that thought, Martok. Spectacular success or dismal failure, at least they're trying something different.

Agree with you Martok and Steelie. And for $17 it's an easy choice.

The dev's roadmap for early-access.  It's an impressive list; they're clearly nothing if not ambitious:

If they pull off even half of what they have planned, this should be one heck of a game.
