Just bring it out already! I have the feeling I'll have moved to a windows 10 tablet by the time this thing hits the market...
Honestly I think they are trying to get it right, so it's going to be a while. Best to not get your hopes up for now!
Know I'm a little late to this, but couldn't you do a hybrid? How about you have timed turns? So it is still turned base, but also semi-realtime because the turns auto end after x amount of time. So for instance, lets say you get 5 second turns. Obviously for such a short turn you will need relatively automated decisions (like a RTS), but it is enough time for one or two major decisions per turn... Plus you could let that timer be changed by the user... Just a thought, not sure how well it would work.
Why would you waste your time making a trailer for a game that's still months away from release?!? That seems like a dull marketing move, don't burn out the hype too far in advance of release. Edit: Ok, my cheap attempt to goad developers into hinting at a release date failed... looking forward to the trailer, damn.
Or alternatively, keep releasing new information to drip feed it's fans (I know I check the TA forum everyday in hopes that there have been some form of an update) and keep the conversations going in the forum. I have yet to see another developer so engaged in this...! Keep it up! I rather have more information than less any day!
I know what you mean: Trailer - News pieces - bang! Release. It's tiresome if dragged out too long... But guess the trailer is useful to nail those 1st impressions before any in development footage pops up later on? Sets the right bench-mark, at least. They're also working on other stuff.. I'm assuming!!
Lots of New Aliens Hey All, We did a Pixels and Beer session last night, rendering peoples ideas for aliens while we got drunk as fast as we could. Some cool stuff was drawn. Check it out on our facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/StarCommandGame
Again with the teasering... there's no way this game could live up to the hype; if it ever comes out.
Those pixel aliens are hilarious imo. I'm happy enough with my Kickstarter pledge to date. Sure it would be the icing on the cake, if come release, the app is some sort of earth-shattering, "king of apps" I think the devs have been a good laugh and have outdone themselves with some v high exposure. But I see that as an opportunity to create a little more breathing space...
Several Updates from the Devs! 1) 2) The external hull of the ship - with some color variants.

I'm so psyched for this. Plus they'll be in my town for PAX. So, Whoot! Please guys, make it right but remember I'm dyin' out in in anticipation. Volunteering for beta testing.
Amazed I'm amazed I'm still interested in this game seeing as its almost been a year since I started following this thread. Really can't wait.
