I am liking the look of this game! Aside from the sandbox game-play, I love the ability to construct one's own vehicles from scratch with an advanced yet intuitive GUI. You can also create your own designs for shields and (as far as I know) weapons. It's still in development, so I cannot wait to see where they will go with this game. As a show of support for the work being done, I have purchased my alpha copy. Hopefully they will soon mail me the link.

 

If you know Pathea Games (which you will probably not, as they were founded in 2010), this game is rather unlike anything else they have done, which to be honest is not a lot. As such, I am happy to see a new and rising games company among the many.

This has just gone on Steam as an early access game:

I'm really excited by what I've seen in videos, I'm looking forward to trying it out this weekend.

 

It claims to support player-hosted dedicated servers, it might be fun to see if we can make Equestria in it :)

 

I wonder if it will be mod-able...?

They haven't even finished it yet and you already wanna find a way to make it better... let's hope so :)

I'll buy this for £18 can't wait to try it out.

I just want to put ponies in it, of course! :pinkiehappy:

 

If a bunch of us get it I can try running a server for us.

This actually does look quite promising, especially with the custom vehicles and airplanes. Also, anything with a voxel system is an instant plus.

 

As I'm actually keeping my eye on several alphas right now (Starmade, Space Engineers and Starbound, to name a few), I'll most probably wait a bit more, let it show what it has to offer in more depth before I consider getting it.

 

If a server actually gets up, count me in. I need my fair share of voxely destruction.

Interesting, I never considered that. I think if they put it on workshop, it would be interesting to see what happens.

The kickstarter page suggests that they would like to add modding and a world editor, but it doesn't seem to be high on their list of priorities.

 

Anyways, bought it, tried it, overall assessment: Could potentially be a good game, but is definitely not worth the $25 price tag yet. The human animation is pretty bad and reminds me of an FPS from 2002--the run looks very robotic and frankly I don't know anyone who jumps like that. Camera controls are frustrating, especially in small areas where it clips through your character and makes it impossible to see anything. I managed to get stuck underneath one of the starting ships and had to dig my way out. 

 

The build system is pretty good but can be frustrating given the clunky camera controls, build materials are extremely limited and given the game seems gameplay focused I'm not sure if that will change much in the future.

 

Worth keeping an eye on, but not worth investing much time in right now.

If you do, tell the STEAM group. It might brighten things up around there.

Just tossing this at it. Its on steam sale for anyone interested.  They added the world editor thing to the game now. Lots of new stuff as well.

Alpha .09 dropping soon with the game running in x64 and moved over from Unity4 to 5. Combat over haul and the world editor, more biomes, clothing, material, locations, taller world generation up to 512meters, overhaul to the weather system/ Graphics.
