Title: Vector Thrust - Indie Flight Game

Been following this for a while. Its an arcadey flight sim very much in the vein of Ace Combat , and with a really nice cel-shaded visual style. The team also claims that a major priority is moddability, making the engine as flexible as possible.

The project is going to be funded through a paid alpha, which is going to be released on June 20th. Looking forward to it, and I think the project deserves some attention.  :)

This is not any new bit of news for HLP... there's an older thread somewhere...

Here it is, complete with our prior nerd-raeg: http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php?topic=79703.msg1577972#msg1577972

Merging might be in order.

Oops. :nervous:

I'll just pretend this was all planned since the paid alpha will be released soon.

The developer is also trying to make space combat mods possible

The goal, is to make this game as a reference for arcade flight sims on the PC, but there is a will to be more than that, another goal is to make a full warfare engine capable of delivering mods such as space battles of epic scale or fast paced robot action with little to no effort required from the mod makers.
