You know how you are always wishing that there were more space-based RTS games? Well, there’s at least one happening thanks to the Kickstarters, and its backers will no doubt it abundantly pleased that the game now has a playable prototype. It’s looking particularly fancy, given that it’s basically the work of one man, and that man – who I previously spoke to here – has put out a tutorial video for his prototype-users.

Little Big Universe: Limit Theory Hits Funding Goal
By Nathan Grayson on November 27th, 2012.
Oh, this is good news. This is very, very good news. While big names like Star Citizen and Elite: Dangerous are bringing back space games with budgets that eclipse the number of stars in the sky and – in the latter’s case – startling amounts of vagueness, Limit Theory‘s the exceedingly impressive product of one very dedicated guy. Unlike the aforementioned genre titans, Limit Theory basically came out of nowhere, but with plenty of gameplay footage and a highly detailed Kickstarter page. And now it’s reached its semi-modest (in the grand scheme of things) $50,000 goal in just under one week, because there is justice in the universe after all. To celebrate, creator Josh Parnell’s synthesized up some new gameplay footage using the space-age techno-magic of some basic video capture software and YouTube.
