ArkisVir Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 Someone from my game dev circle is going to be going to Greenlight to get their sandbox RPG on Steam. The game honestly looks awesome, here's a small imgur album he put together with some of the graphics and humor. Also I have a link to his site below. I think this could be really big! http://imgur.com/gallery/5r8gn http://www.lightspeedfrontier.com/ Let me know what you think, I could always get him onto these forums if there's some interest.

ArkisVir Posted May 24, 2016 Author Share Posted May 24, 2016 Hey guys I've actually joined the dev team since I finished my game Falling Stars, so disclaimer there. I'll continue to update this thread since I had some people from this forum that were interested! Here's some more screenshots for your viewing enjoyment: We are also accepting alpha testers now! Head over to the home page and sign up there! We will be releasing the alpha build in a few weeks, and there will be a contest to win a free version of the game + access to all test builds when it launches, so don't miss out! http://www.lightspeedfrontier.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daeridanii Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 (edited) I like the look of this! I'd be happy to alpha test it. EDIT: Oh, and question: can you land on the planets? Edited June 10, 2016 by Daeridanii Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArkisVir Posted June 12, 2016 Author Share Posted June 12, 2016 As of right now I don't think that's in the plans. Your player stays in his "command pod" and interacts with other NPCs and ship captains by scanning them and engaging in dialogue, which all happens in space. Also, players mine rare materials by finding and scanning various asteroids, so there isn't really any reason to go on the planets. I wouldn't rule anything out in the future though I would post the question on the forums and see what the main dev has to say! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vger Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 (edited) Robocraft in space! NICE! Edit: I was just reading about Robocraft (also a Steam game) again and it looks like the devs went in a lot of horrid directions with a game that at first was very brilliant. Recent reviews are panning it like crazy and the veterans are all furious. If you've never played the game, research it. Look at what it started out as and why people loved it, and look at how it changed and caused people to hate it. It's a good template for both what TO do and also what NOT TO do. You're definitely going to attract some of those old Robocraft players with this. Edited June 14, 2016 by vger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than that I see a lot of cool ideas that can be taken from the game. If you know of any robocraft players or communities, give lightspeed frontier a shout out Tomorrow Ill have more screenshots for you guys btw!

There are no graphics options currently, so while the game will run on almost any setup (including integrated graphics cards), a decent card is recommended in the range of a GTX 760 or higher for the smoothest experience. Alpha 1 may or may not contain the ability to turn off certain graphics options, but obviously as the game moves along players will be able to turn many of the settings on or off.

I've been playing Robocraft since August 2014, I don't play it that much anymore because of the removal of armour and later the removal of Robopoints (I think that's what they were called). On a not off-topic note, looks cool, I will be playing this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MoffKalast Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 Hi everyone, I'm the lead dev of the game. Ask me anything On 6/10/2016 at 11:07 PM, Daeridanii said: can you land on the planets? On 6/15/2016 at 9:50 PM, HamnavoePer said: Meh, It's still a good game idea. Planet Landings could work, say, in your ship with a rover . Well the general idea was for the game to be about cruisers/capital ships, aka ships that are generally to big to land on planets. That way it could be focused more on space combat and such, sort of simmilar to Rebel Galaxy if you've heard of it. I'll keep it in mind for later though.

BTW on the Lightspeed Frontier forums I am RaumKuchen (in case you couldn't tell from me having the same avatar ) That's great! There's some "hidden" goodies around in that build that aren't covered in the tutorial, so that should hold you over until the next update! We are working on a TON of different fronts right now too. We've gotten some great feedback, and you can expect a lot more to be in the game every few weeks, whether it's bug fixes, features or content.

ArkisVir Posted June 24, 2016 Author Share Posted June 24, 2016 Starmade and Lightspeed Frontier share custom ship building, but Lightspeed is more along lines on Rebel Galaxy and Terratech, whereas Starmade has more of a minecraft focus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArkisVir Posted June 30, 2016 Author Share Posted June 30, 2016 Got another update! This time it's the ship info panel. Here you can find the various stats for your ship to easily compare the effects of swapping out modules, equipping new modules, and it also calculates your ship class. Ship class is determined by the size of your ship (the number of modules you have equipped) and later on, certain missions will only be able to be completed by a specific ship class.
