Blackspace's Kickstarter Looks Geological
War over near-future asteroid mining might not be entirely unique as a theme, but the way the Blackspace team are handling it seems to be. This is a simulation-heavy RTS with destructible everything, meticulous physics modelling, asteroid geology, and an exploration/discovery aspect that is unusual in RTS games. This the first we've heard of the game, but they explain: "This isn't just an idea or a concept. We're not making up exciting features that we think we'll be able to implement. This is a project well on its way to completion..." Blackspace is Kickstarting to the figure of $350k, and you can see the interesting and forthright pitch video below. It's a good pitch, I reckon. Refreshing too, what with it not be nostalgia-driven "don't make 'em like this anymore" sort of affair...
