Tales of the Rampant Coyote: Fourteen Indie 3D Space Combat Games - And More!

The above blogger made a post with all the latest space sims in development detailed and linked. It's nice to have a starting point when you're looking for something different.

Dissect and discuss.

If you answered, “Wake up and face reality,” you don’t remember what it was like being a young man. You just go to the next entry in the catalogue of lies you can use to destroy your life." - John Dolan

Good article. But why does everyone think B5:IfH is based on FreeSpace?
If I'm just aching this can't go on
I came from chasing dreams to feel alone
There must be changes, miss to feel strong
I really need lifе to touch me

Probably because everyone mistakes it for the Babylon Project  :P.

Starshatter has some issues but is worth checking out. The biggest is that those publisher idiots still demand 40 bucks  :mad:

Does crazy Software Engineering for a living, until he finally musters the courage to start building games for real. Might never happen.

I don't think that's outrageous for a small independent publisher. Once you break $60 for a computer sim you've gone too far in most cases, though. And if you do charge that, that game-or-whatever-it-is better be worth it in some way, preferably in terms of modding or adding your own content.

No, the biggest is that the old version with lame graphics--you know, the one that can run on my system--isn't being sold by the publishers anymore.

I are sad.
I will ask that you explain yourself. Please do so with the clear understanding that I may decide I am angry enough to destroy all of you and raze this sickening mausoleum of fraud down to the naked rock it stands on.
