Does anyone know what happened to the Light of Altair / SaintXi website?

So I just beat the game.
AWESOME.
Shame I had to wait to the last 2 missions for actual multi-star missions, though. I was hoping for a war with the UEO and really long epic final mission, but this was cool too.

Light of Altair (v2/sequel) will have a sandbox style play mode. We will need to work on the AI and gameplay breadth for a freestyle mission generator to live up to the playability of the scripted missions. We had plans to try this in Ep1 but ran out of time/budget polishing the single player campaign (We’re only a little team).

Well I’ve I’m closing in on completing the last few missions. I have to say I’ve really enjoyed the game, purchased it through steam. I want to commend the team for delivering a game that worked flawlessly from the beginning. So many deliver buggy slop to start with.

I would say that one thing I would like is some sort of free form game like Masters of Orion 2, all the pieces are there in the game just need some sort of scenario generator maybe.

Jim, I can now officially say

the fact that I can’t click to deselect my current build object is fixed, and Patch1.01 is available today :) There is now an option setting to let you right-click and deselect.

We would like to get a few in combat tactical commands in too, including “flee”.
Not sure where you got the ‘post a disc’ idea? (Although some of our distributors offer this as an alternative to the download).
Glad you are enjoying it!

I’m going to buy this direct, but is what i read right you post a disc? How retro.

Just finished the demo and enjoyed it. Won the “bonus” mission with one fleet, a torpedo cruiser with shields and a few wings of small laser fighters. The fighters acted as a missile screen and the cruiser rained death.

When you buy it direct from them its cheaper too.

I wish i had some basic tactical commands to hand out pre battle, for example having faster long range units keep their distance. Or my fighters stick near the cruiser.

I hope you do well enough to finance a sequel/expansion/uber patch because this game has incredible potential.

Downloading the demo now, if I dig it then you’re 11 bucks richer. It’s nice to see developers interacting with the community and listening to feedback like this, here’s hoping more developers take notice.
