Dyvox Pytheas

[tom1499]

This is a seriously good indie game. Pytheas is a Starmade-esque voxelly-spaceship buildy thing. It had a kickstarter a while back but it failed completely. I think it was because it hadn't enough publicity at the time to do it. But we have too many of those voxelly-space thingys anyway, I hear you say. We do. It's an overused Idea, that is never executed well. Perhaps if someone did it right, we'd be laughing. But nobody does. Except Pytheas. The thing is, Dyvox, who make pytheas, have another one. Dyvox Sandbox.

Same engine as Pytheas, but lets you build ANYTHING. It's currently in a Multiplayer pre-release thingy, set to war mode, this means players can build ships, planes and tanks. The video on the front page is made with entirely player built vehicles. I think this game has potential. Lots of it. Download the Alpha build and give it a go, see what you think. The thing with the game is, it will be based around capital ships being manned by multiple people, which would mean more in depth battles than fighters. Also, its got some nice destruction, that games like Starmade lack.

Will try this one tomorrow. Now, bed. How big is the file and what requirements on the PC is there?

50mb and very little, oh it uses OGRE but openGL doesn't work so as long as you have a card that includes DirectX you should be go. Also the multiplayer sandbox demo is a bit bigger, but doesn't launch on mine so can't tell you specs but should be similar.
