I like how it manages to get the motion and controls right. There’s inertia. I was surprised when I hit the afterburners, turned around and found myself flying backwards. There are also fully 3D controls with roll and thrust on all 3 axes. Now I’ve just got to work out how to map them to a normal joystick (If you can call a HOTAS Cougar normal).

If this ends up being modding friendly the B5 fans are going to love it, as there’s finally an engine that can support the Starfury’s flight style properly. I look forward to that, as I’m currently enjoying throwing BF2’s AIX mod’s Littlebirds around, and am just itching to try something even more manoeuverable.

This is the most fun I have had with a space shooter in as long as I can remember! It manages to include a sense of scale, which in turn leads to a feeling of speed as you zip around capital ships. The backgrounds too! planets taking up half the screen! I’m in love. I can’t wait til this is finished so I can spend hard earned dollars on it.

That was pretty fun. I liked the virtual cockpit and the subtle highlighting of the canopy glass. Good for immersion, but it could have used a padlock like fight sims instead of that external view.

Is the Space Sim going to be the new “Arkanoid clone” for indie developers?

i had major mouse sensitivity issues with a logitech g5. the music also tended to go into loops whenever there was loading. i don’t see any mention of system requirements on the website, but i have a fairly new (though mid-grade) machine, so i’m going to have to give this game a thumbs down, from a playability standpoint

I quite enjoyed this demo. I wish Tarr Chronicles had this control system, but that was still an enjoyable game as well. The vertical thrusters are fantastic for dodging.

I’m liking how RPS has started linking DIRECT to the download page! Yesterday I downloaded Indy in seconds thank’s to Walkers prime linking skills. (fact: I started the, in comparison, tiny Larva game downloading first and it still hadn’t finished by the time the massive Indy demo had downloaded! Thanks, gamershell!)

I have no idea what the hell is going on in that screenshot.

I had hopes for capital ship combat for a second there :(

Bridge Commander was so much fun in MP, and it would have been even better without the license.

A surprise entrée genre that i loved thought dead long ago aside from the (clunky confusing controlled) X series and upcoming (hit or miss studios. aka netdevil) jumpgate? JUBILATIONS!
