Title: SOLAR WARDEN on Kickstarter!
Post by: Flashblade on April 22, 2018, 05:02:41 pm
Greetings GTVA pilots,

we've just gone live on Kickstarter! We are a Space Shooter / Real-Time Strategy hybrid indie title from the developers of MechWarrior: Living Legends. Join us!
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1763148489/solar-warden

The Game is inspired by titles like Freelancer, Descent, XCOM and Homeworld, and aims to combine the spirit of these games with modern technology in a unique fusion of genres.

Previous Accomplishments of the Solar Warden development team include the Award-Winning Mechwarrior: Living Legends, as well as a combined of 20 years of games industry experience.

The developers are also talking to the community on real time on their Discord http://discord.gg/MaGzwt4, and are happy to answer any questions you have!

Thank you and we will see you on Kickstarter warden!

Wow I forgot to update this:

Last week we had a developer stream where we talked about the origin and development of one of the boss monsters, the Silicoid Worm!

   

On the first of May 2018 our leading developer Dan "Kamikaze" Adams was on a podcast with Space Game Junkie. They talked in-depth about what Solar Warden is going to be all about. About 2 hours of solid information to be found here!

Can anyone else see a Freespace mod of this, where the asteroids are replaced with  Shivan warships, and the Silicoid small fry are replaced with Shivan fighters? Or is it just me?
