I do love this :v: [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/DsCJrs0.png[/IMG] The game looks very appealing too!

So it's kind of like Space Colony then?

[QUOTE=DEMONSKUL;42533586]So it's kind of like Space Colony then?[/QUOTE] never heard of it, but it's like rimworld in a sense.

Oh hell, it's made by DoubleFine? Gonna take a closer look then!

time to build space station 13

So anyone who owns this, how's the building? I'm thinking of buying it. [editline]15th October 2013[/editline] I bought it.

[QUOTE=GHOST!!!!;42533847]So anyone who owns this, how's the building? I'm thinking of buying it. [editline]15th October 2013[/editline] I bought it.[/QUOTE] well that went fast. tbh, the building right now isn't all that much. it works, but it's not super convenient or anything, neither is it hard to use.

How is this game? With all these new space games coming out, I'm going to have to pick a couple to stick with. How's this one? How's the building function and hows it feel to control and what kind of goals does the game have for you?

Does it have clowns?

[QUOTE=G-Strogg;42534384]Does it have clowns?[/QUOTE] This is a dealbreaker right here.

bought it. games buggy as hell right now, it's crashing like a bitch. but what I do get to play of it seems interesting enough.

[QUOTE=DEMONSKUL;42533586]So it's kind of like Space Colony then?[/QUOTE] [t]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/5/56/Space_Colony.jpg[/t] must not buy....cannot repeat what happened before...the nightmares of those dying colonists

[QUOTE=HumanAbyss;42535332]bought it. games buggy as hell right now, it's crashing like a bitch. but what I do get to play of it seems interesting enough.[/QUOTE] will most likely take one quick patch to fix the crashes. hope they fix the pathfinding soon as well, gets confusing when they fly through the bedrooms with a space suit

Wow, Had no idea they were actually making a full game out of this. It was one of the many little tech demos they made for the amnesia fortnight humble bundle ages ago. This was the only one that actually caught my attention. Definitely gonna keep an eye on this.

Looks interesting, is it worth the buy?

[QUOTE=DEMONSKUL;42533672]Oh hell, it's made by DoubleFine? Gonna take a closer look then![/QUOTE] They that should really be in the title or at least the top of the op.

It's pretty cool once it works and you figure out what to do. However, that said, it's not worth 25$ right now as you run out of shit to do in an hour or two of thoughtful play. There's just not a lot of content, but there's potential for sure.

[QUOTE=GunFox;42537135]They that should really be in the title or at least the top of the op.[/QUOTE] can't add that to the title, could you do it for me?

I suppose I should just keep accepting everyone in my spacestation?

[QUOTE=Doqqy;42545260]I suppose I should just keep accepting everyone in my spacestation?[/QUOTE] there's no reason not to as long as you have the capacity for it

My technicians have a habit atm of continuously blowing up the life support systems in my base. They would try to fix the oxygen recyclers and then it would blow up, causing the techs to stomp it out then the techs will stand there and do star jumps until the oxygen recyclers blow up again. Rinse and repeat.

They need to implement shit like, oh I dunno, orders? I don't like having shit get to 20% Health before the Technicians bother doing anything about it, I'd want to keep it over 80% for fuck sake.

Is this worth dumping 24 bucks on?

give it a few large content patches and then yes

If they just patch in a few important things like adding new areas, and new reliance for your colonies it would be cool. right now you build until you're out of building materials and then start mining. And then... that's it. You just do this and continue to expand but you have nothing to do and nothing to supply your people but oxygen and airlocks. we need to see gardens and security areas, water recycling of some sort, just the survival aspects that are important to what you want to see in a space survival building game, not to mention some activities/crafting/research of some sort in some manner. it's a good base for a game, but it's not really much of anything yet.

Really looking forward to this although I'm not a fan of buying games in earlier phases of developement. I always wanted a game reminiscent to Space Colony, I loved that game so much. Thus far the asethetics look real nice although the game itself seems rather lackluster at this point.

I just had people dock with my station, move in and kill someone inside, then go outside to kill my builders in space, but instead of killing them, they clip into them and everyone in a certain radius will go to attack them, but nothing happens.. In the end everyone died from oxygen deprivation. I want this game to be fun, but when events kill your game like that with no chance to fight back, there's just not much for me to enjoy in this game.. (yet, hopefully) So I'd advice against buying it right now, wait until it has more stuff to do, and there has been some bug fixing. This could turn out to be a really good game sometime, but that time has not come yet.
