It seems to have received a massive reworking recently, new art and a new story driven narrative - climbing higher on the wishlist

Hmm, missed that one. Is Martok slipping up? :P

Yeah, this one is looking pretty good. I've actually had my eye on it for some time now, but had been waiting for more substantive information and/or gameplay videos before posting about it. I'm happy to see that geek beat me to it, though. :)

FWIW, I was going to start a thread on Falling Frontier today if no one else had already done so. (Have been busy the last couple days.) Half the posts on my Twitter feed since Monday have consisted of nothing but notifications about this one, so I figured something was up. ;)

A couple videos I keep forgetting to post:
And a new trailer just dropped today:

PHWOAR! Game looks absolutely stunning. I need it!

Just a couple more months (probably)... 8)
-
Couple more months?? :/
-
I am getting old.
I remember when it was "two weeks".
-
Well the game is slated to come out sometime during Q2 2022, and I doubt they're gonna release it the first week of April...
-
I somehow missed this news, but the dev is delaying the game's launch to later this year (link (https://steamcommunity.com/games/1280190/announcements/detail/3329861552490006860)). Release date on Steam has been changed to just 2022 (as opposed to a more specific date), which is probably a good move for the time being.
That being said, this cool little story trailer just dropped:
-
I wish they would at least give us an updated release date. This looks better and better every time they put out a new trailer or update.
-
I’ve got to put my hand on heart and be honest - I check the steam page everyday
Alas the discussion is full of angry entitled dicks who shout release it or it’s vapourware and it makes me mad for the rest of the day
This and manor lords and espiocracy and fragile existence - all weirdly hooded horse!

Oh boy, another 4x space game!
Sorry, I've had a few beers, I'm feeling a tad cheeky today.

There are other 4x space games and there is falling frontier though
-
So, it's THAT GOOD, you're saying.
I've honestly not played a 4x space game that's appealed to me in a long, long time.

I’m really enjoying Stellaris with the latest update and DLC. Despite Martok’s whinging about the leader cap, I’m finding it fits well with my play style and am not finding it a handicap at all. There I said it. :nerd:

Is this a competitor to NEBULOUS: Fleet Command?

Falling Frontier is a revolutionary sci-fi RTS where ship design, recon, and logistics are critical elements. Your expeditionary force has just completed construction of its first space port in orbit of a new world, but you are not alone. Rivals from the old colonial wars between Earth, Titan, Venus, and the other lineages that divide humankind have also arrived in the same star system.
A New Star System
Explore a vast procedurally generated star system filled with planets, moons, asteroid fields, and nebulae. Build and upgrade shipyards, supply depots, refineries, and recon stations as you research new technologies to unlock ship hulls, weapons, orbital facilities, colonization options, and more.
That’s the blurb on the steam page
From what little I know it’s an immersive rts experience where you’re involved with base and crew management - going to battle over there? Well you’ll need your logistics wing to ship the necessary resources of war - you can’t just click anywhere and fight anywhere

my apologies, i didnt realise this was a new video - holy crap it looks great and wow - pretty much WW2 looking ships with a space hull - nom nom nom nom
the 2 negative comments so far are from a space purist moaning about physics and explosions and a guy bemoaning the lack of the height/depth axis in battles - if im been honest, my old ass brain has never been able to get its head around forwards, backwards, left, right AND up and down - which is why i think i suck at Homeworld and i havent disappeared into Nebulous like i would like to everything on a 2d plane is fine by me
There looks to be crew management for some RPG elements, hopefully some boarding actions
please, just release it on early access and let us pay you to finish it
-
^ Given the route Hooded Horse is taking their games lately, I'm guessing this one *is* releasing into Early-Access...eventually. They've just not deemed it ready yet. (Just like Fragile Existence and Alliance of the Sacred Suns; sigh.)
Oh boy, another 4x space game!

More of an RTS game than a 4x, hence why I posted it here. Still looks cool as hell, though.

That's it, you don't get to run my Science Nexus. :nope:

Not really, no. Falling Frontier is an RTS, NEBULOUS is a fleet combat simulator (with realistic-ish physics).

Dev has announced at some point there will be a demo at a next fest and the plan now is to release into early access - something theyve never actually denied but always stayed away from - since taking on an full time artist and seeing the improvements thats made im guessing hes realised its a bigger project than he thought without ££
if im not the first to sign up for it, ill be close

You mentioned the evil magic words with 'Manor Lords.'

It’s quiet over there at the moment - lots of people asking for early access or reenrry to demo

I'm guessing that, combined with the fact that he actually *has* money & resources -- now that he's backed by Hooded Horse -- is very likely a guiding factor in that as well. Not that I'm complaining.

Just borrow Barthheart's temporal vortex/time machine-thingy.

He might be needing that for his PBEM
