Finally someone made something new!
Yay!

Edit: Woot! That's even better than Sid Meyer's stuff! A game based on modding!

That is actually a revolutionary concept and very cool :cool:

Wait..."revolutionary new game"? These words...they mean something...yes!  The world is going to end!  The apocalypse is nigh!  The tyranny of FPS clones will be broken! :p

Seriously, though, not only is the specific game they describe amazingly cool, this guy's entire business model is absolutely great.  Maybe, finally, the concept of "By gamers, for gamers" will truly be a reality.  Suck it, EA! :D

I've always liked the freeform stuff in games better than I have the scripted stuff. I would spend hours in Castles 2 (Anyone else remember (or have a copy of... :drevil: that little gem?) designing my castles rather than doing what I was supposed to be doing. I'm sure I'm not the only one who enjoys stuff like that. This sort of thin is exactly what the gaming world needs.

Sandbox games = great fun.  It's interesting how simply offering a miniscule amount of player creativity can be more engaging than a far more complex but linear storyline or scenario without it.

I for one will be making shivans and shall conquer the universe. and with what I read, the game seems multiplayer. We could bloody hell make Freespace a reality. :eek2:

Ooh... making Shivans! Cool!!

That game sounds AWEsome. My family is now wondering what I've been exclaiming "What?!!!?!?!!?" about for the past few minutes. :p

This could prove to be quite interesting.
I had almost given up hope on getting something new out of the game industry these days :p

I will definetly await the release of this game with eager anticipation.
