Hey y’all, happy Tuesday! I hope y’all are having a lovely week so far! There’s a goodly amount of stuff to go over today from all over the place, so let’s jump in!
EVE Online – Coverage of the massive 3,000+ ship battle from this past weekend — which is being called the Battle of Asakai — continues both from their developmentblog as well as Rock, Paper Shotgun. This is one of those cases wherein, to me, EVE is more fun to read about than to play. ;) I do LOVE that the game allows this sort of thing to be possible, though. :)
Kerbal Space Program – The folks behind the game are participating with the I Dream of Space folks to let fans have a chance to win a flight in a suborbital craft! That sounds pretty freaking awesome.
StarMade – There’s a new video showing off the new factions screen on their IndieDB page that I’ll embed below. There’s also a new tactical module for the game that spits out some code golbedygook. ;) Finally, there’s also a post on planet types.
In somewhat-related news, the DOSBox project won SourceForge’s project of the month for January, 2013! Since I rely on DOSBox to play many of the games on my list, I know they deserve any kudos they get. Next, the Concept Ships blog is toying with the idea of hoodies. On the Broken Crown Games forum, there have been several new featured guest posts that we’re all being encouraged to read. Finally, in stuff related to gaming but not space gaming, there’s a fascinatng article from the developer of an RPG called Malevolence in which he discusses his approach to Kickstarter and how he passed 500% of his goal. Since Kickstarter has been so important to the spacey game community, I was hoping folks would find it helpful. :)
