Hey guys! Before I talk, I'll start with pictures because they speak louder than words.

And a video!

Every single screenshot here was taken inside the engine in different places inside a solar system. The engine allows completely seamless transitions between space and atmosphere(much like ksp with less explosions). Let me make this clear, everything you see in any screenshot is a point you could theoretically fly to! That moon? Sure go there! The ring? Lets go play around with rocks. You can travel to any of it seamlessly and without loading screens. It's not a promise. It's not a stretch goal, it's a current feature in the engine!

I myself have been following it for a good few years and I'm really excited for them to finally get funded. Battlescape will be a solar systemwide arena-like gameplay with 2(maybe more?) teams duking it out with matches planned to last over many days and possibly weeks. They plan to have battles of at least 100-200 players participating at a single longer to capture the "starwars-esque space battles" which is an actual quote from Keith but I can't find it right now.

If my extremely poor explanation got you you're interested, then head over to the forums at https://forums.inovaestudios.com/ and ask questions! I will also try and pay attention here to answer as many as I can as well.

The kickstarter begins on 10/21/2015, so 5 days! I'm just trying to spread the word.

Why do they need a kickstarter? Currently, everything you see has been made over the last 10 years by 3 people working in their part time. I know this will get compared to E:D and SC and I'm hear to tell you that it shouldn't. This prototype that you see was made my a small team working part time over a decade. E:D and SC have huge teams and more importantly money! Please do not compare them. Treat Battlescape as you would any indie game you'd see on greenlight or steam, because that's what it really is with A+ visuals.

I can add more quotes and more dialogue but I think I've made this post long enough as it is.

Edit: Ignore this thread - there was already one posted. Mods can delete this.
