Funded last moments
| Quote: | Starlight Inception is the rebellious stepchild of Wing Commander, X-wing and Freespace2, taking a fresh approach to the classic space combat genre.

You assume the role of a young space fighter pilot assigned to the star carrier U.S.F. Independence, deploying to hotspots throughout the Solar System during World War IV.
Starlight Inception is a realistic and relevant 1st person (both with cockpit and without) / 3rd person strategic and tactical space combat experience. It has a unique blend of action with an involving storyline. Features include ship based combat both in space and on planets and moons, interplanetary exploration, and multiplayer dogfighting.
There are two main game modes - one is mission based, and has a storyline following a pilot through the fourth World War, fought amongst the planets and moons of our star system. The missions are varied, including straight shoot-'em ups, rescue missions, salvage missions. All the missions contain elements of exploration, combat and in some cases, stealth and tagging the enemy for larger assaults. There is a fair amount of world building in this mode, as you interact with enemies and wingmen, sometimes discovering things or achieving things during the mission that affect the overall course of the story.
The second game mode is a sort of strategic defense of your mothership, where you deploy turrets and engage in ship to ship combat to defend against incoming marauders. This mode is more geared toward players who just want to get in a cockpit and begin engaging the enemy (i.e. casual players).
Both modes have achievements locked to them, as well as gaining the player command prestige for objectives met and side quests. Command prestige is the currency of the game, and allows players to 'purchase' better ships, better weapons, better equipment, better drone wingmen.
There is a multiplayer component, where players can play head to head or on teams in various modes, including deathmatch, capture the flag, defend the mothership, etc.
Our early prototypes used a very arcade-y feel, more akin to Wing Commander, but we are still tuning aspects of this approach, looking at adding Newtonian elements, within reason. Several space sims have done the Newtonian thing really well, but sometimes this results in a ship that's hard to control.
You will collect space fighters in the same way that you collect cars in Gran Turismo, and you'll have a similarly deep level of configuration and tuning of ship's systems, both before combat and during a mission. You'll be controlling your power and ship's systems, deciding where to allocate precious energy while you're defending, sneaking past capital ships and engaging bases and enemy fighters. You'll be fighting in space, as well as over planetary environments.
The game will be from a 3rd person perspective, a controllable tethered camera behind the rear of a fighter. It will also have a cockpit mode, and a simple interface 1st person mode. We really intend to give players some interesting choices in terms of user interface. You'll be able to click on buttons within the cockpit to adjust different settings for the fighter.
Our promise is that we'll be working toward a model that is fun for the player, and that doesn't get in the way of the gameplay.
The game will be tuned for joysticks, flight yokes, game controllers and keyboard and mouse combos on the PC, so we are really shooting for flexibility in the control scheme. |

played the vita beta, was quite interesting but, nothing ground-breaking. That could be due to the vita limitations though of course

Hands down one of the absolute worst space combat/sim titles I've played. It's bad on a BC3000/BCM level. Worse even. Skip skipitty skipskipskip. Play Parkan ][ or Salvation Prophecy if you want cheap indie/E.European sims that have significantly more character, polish and gameplay to them --- or play Evochron Mercenary if you want the best.

Funny how a game made by 1 person with a size of 200mb is the best space sim of the last decade at least.

And that's ONE game in a series of god knows how many. Five in the main Evochron series and what? Five more in the Arvoch ones prior?
