<r>Yeah, I just can't take this game seriously any more, unfortunately. There was so much potential there, but I doubt it will ever be finished, or even un-buggy. They just have no real incentive to release it, and apparently, no deadlines either, and have burned through their cash like crazy.<br ...

Haha, thanks guys! I guess old spacemen (and spacewomen...and other spacesentients) never really die, we just orbit back like long-term comets! Great to see the site still standing strong.

<r>Since I'm popping back in, I may as well use "thread necromancy" on some old threads <EMOJI seq="1f606" tseq="1f606">&#128518;</EMOJI> <br/>
Amazingly, it appears this game (Xerxes Shadow) does still seem to be in development - it's unreleased, but there is a Steam page! I have Wishlisted it, we ...

<r>Hi everyone,<br/>
.....and once again I have briefly stumbled out of cryo-freeze to say hello <EMOJI seq="1f600" tseq="1f600">&#128512;</EMOJI> I have never removed my bookmark for the SSC forums, but always forget to come back here and check things out. I shall try to do so more regularly! It's ...

Thanks guys! Good to see you again

<t>Stumbles back into SpaceSimCentral after years in cryo....<br/>
Hey all, long time no see. Hope you're all good <br/>
I've been playing this for a week or so now, and definitely have mixed feelings. It's good to have a space game, of course. And there are space sim elements to it - there is some ...

Haha! Good old Francis Urquhart

Cody, are you suggesting that El Presidente is going for the "Boris Sympathy Effect"?

Thanks for spotting this Pinback. Actually looks pretty promising! (Although, I admit it, after decades of space sim drought, my standards are low anyway ).
Will keep an eye out.....though PS4 only is disappointing.

Interesting! I played it on and off for years, but never finished any of the character storylines either - it just felt a bit too prescriptive for me and not open-world enough. Still, nothing used to beat the sound of a lightsaber and the epic music

Cool - that all sounds pretty good! Thanks Blah. I was afraid there either (a) wouldn't be much variety or (b) it would crash every 5 minutes in a bug-ridden mess but glad to hear that's not the case.

<r>Hadn't realised that this game was still chugging away in development. The In the Black website doesn't seem to get much love, or even the Impeller Studios one, but they seem to regularly put updates on their Kickstarter and Facebook pages - I should pay closer attention.<br/>

<t>Greetings, citizens!<br/>
Hope you're all doing good. I never seem to get the chance to fly out to the station these days!<br/>
Anyway, I found my old SC citizen card the other day and it made me wonder about the state of the game. I just got so burned out by the endless delays that I have ...

Thanks D1. I keep meaning to check this out, glad to hear you liked it! auryx

I haven't played any of the AoW games, but been watching some people play this one on Twitch and it looks fun - might pick it up.

I really like this current look! Much more like the old forums and seems quicker too. Thanks D1

<t>Thanks D1, yeah, I know what you mean - I think they will struggle, despite the fact that I think it looks good. I'm hoping the word spreads and they get enough to fund it.<br/>
<br/>
I have also seen a bunch of Kickstarters fail recently - or worse, succeed, and then the creator goes bankrupt ...

<t>Hey all,<br/>
<br/>
In case anyone is interested - a strategy gamer that I follow on Twitch is involved in a Kickstarter for a browser-based multiplayer 4X-style sci-fi game. I quite like the look of it so far, so thought I would share it here to spread the word and in case anyone is interested ...

Haha thanks D1, I know - it wasn't just that. Real Life Stuff got in the way too! But glad to be back and I like the new forum format. Hope life is good with you guys.

<r>Hey all!<br/>
<br/>
Been a loooooong time since I was here. I lost my login multiple times during the "great SSS platform move" and got really confused, then couldn't work out the new layout and gave up. But I missed this place and so have come back!<br/>
<br/>
Hope everyone is well <E>:-)</E><br ...
