Today I start a new rubric in Space Sector about independent game developers and their bold ventures on developing their own sci-fi or space strategy games called, “Stellar Indie Venture”.<\/p>\n
My intention with these articles is to offer more visibility to these indie projects early on, so that people can know about them soon and start interacting with the devs by providing feedback (if the devs ask for it) or by helping in any way they can (by passing the word, offering services or using other forms of support). In the end everybody wins. We will have fun and more and better games to play and more talented devs will get more support, which will allow them to make a living out of their dreams. Motivated by these examples maybe other talented people may come out of the shadow and start developing their own games, after they get the inspiration and know about the “transpiration” involved :)<\/p>\n
Do or do not. There is no try. ~Jedi Master Yoda<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
As we know some of the devs will not bring their projects to conclusion, that’s the way things are. But I believe that we can all make a difference by supporting exciting and vibrant new game projects as soon as we spot them.<\/p>\n
Today I want to talk to you about Predestination<\/a>, a space 4X game that I stumbled on not a long time ago. Predestination’ developer aims on developing a worthy Master of Orion 2′ spiritual successor.\u00a0You can know everything about Predestination on the dev’s blog<\/a>\u00a0(that launched in early 2012), however I will make an introduction\u00a0next so that you can decide if you want to follow the project, perhaps say hello, leave a comment or two, offer your services, have fun and make a dev happy.<\/p>\n
Predestination is Nyphur’s dream<\/h3>\n
Nyphur (the dev’s nickname) states that he always wanted to make a space 4X game, and more\u00a0specifically\u00a0a spiritual successor of Master of Orion 2<\/a>. Nyphur explains that Master of Orion 3<\/a> was a total let down for him and that recent 4X games don’t satisfy him fully because, in his words, “I don\u2019t feel like any have really recaptured the magic of MoO2”.<\/p>\n
As an appetizer\u00a0just look at the 3D starmap video below. Wow, now that’s a 3D map I could learn to love.<\/p>\n
