Hello, found this game by a link given by a friend originally, and have to admit I didn't believe it at first. There's been so many 'attempts' to create a sci-fi game that would fulfill the desires of the fans of the genre, but typically those have ended up quite poorly. It took a little while to be convinced, but this project is looking very interesting.
I'm looking forward to seeing this game when its ready. I'm not a huge fan of multiplayer games (I know I'm a minority in that) but I love science-fiction games with either a good story or alternatively a nicely made 'sandbox' feel that allows for playing the game and trying out new things along time. So far, I think this game is looking to be very promising. I'm not really going to say much on the multi-player side, I imagine that it'll get its share of attention from those who enjoy multiplayer gaming. Personally, I'll admit I'm usually no good in competing with other human players so I'll enjoy taking the computer foes for all they got.
I was meaning to ask though, do you intend to save a sandbox mode for the casual player who has finished the campaign, or do you plan on building the story-driven singleplayer campaign and the multiplayer and the sandbox is a thing for beta release only?
I'm asking since I am quite curious. I have spent some money in the past on some games that tempted me, the story was looking good and there was an open assumption sandbox style play was included. Only it wasn't, and the campaign had its own strict limits. The game was fun, for a few tries, but ultimately it would have probably made a lot better impression with a sandbox included as well.
That's just a thought, and personally I think I'll be buying this game as soon as its ready, to enjoy the single-player side. Personally, I'd love to see the option of playing in a sandbox style, not having to worry about something like a time limit expiring or reaching a certain goal meaning the game ends for me. While I enjoy that in a campaign, sometimes it could be fun to just relax, sit down, and return to some simply sandbox play for a while.
Different tastes, and can't please everyone, but I wanted to at least ask what are your thoughts on the issue?
