Game does look good. And I went back and read the Limit Theory forums yesterday so I can confirm that ENEMY STARFIGHTER is still more of a game than both LT and Star Citizen. Congrats Kairo!

I heard Kairo is waiting for a Trump presidency to prepare the American people for the release of Enemy Starfighter.

We already have David Cameron over here so how about a beta?

Have faith yo.

Is there anything you guys are really curious about w/r/t to Starfighter's lore? I mean when you imagine the game and the atmosphere, even without knowing specifics.

They're adding an upgrade system for ship components that requires a bunch of collected materials and has that Korean MMO "reroll a hundred times until you get the random combination of upgrades and special features you want" bit, instead of just letting the player say "I'd like my laser to be blue" and buy a blue laser.

Elite Dangerous would be a fantastic game if they had someone less idiotic making these sorts of decisions. The flight model is as stellar as always and they keep adding really cool poo poo, but then they ruin other would-be cool poo poo with baffling decisions.

I also am somewhat disappointed, but also a bit scared for kairo that he might have missed a market window.

Really though, it's just disappointing, there's no point in getting mad at the guy he doesn't owe us anything. I posted this already but I'd love to hear how the game has changed, because it obviously has immensely, since every time he talks about it he's reworking something from feedback. I just hope he didn't fall into a hole where he's never happy with it.

I'm playing the game right now, it's fun as poo poo and not vaporware, Kairo is completely unsentimental about iteration so don't be surprised if a lot of what you heard about design-wise has changed.

He has obviously worked his rear end off on it. It's not trapped in some endless state of feature creep: pretty much the exact opposite. Kairo is a one man team and he's been tightening and cutting and polishing at insane crunch levels for a while now. Dude will post some updates when he's not in every-hour-counts mode.

I realize I've been quiet, but I still love you, especially Orv and how dramatic he is. If there is a next time, I'll hire someone to do updates.

  • Game has been going really well for a while now.
  • Public Early Access is only gonna be for bug fixes, balance, and wave clear mode (I need to fix it up as it got no attention and broke over the last couple months). No new features.
  • Game is much more streamlined, but feedback across the board has gotten 10x better. Figuring this out was a major milestone.
  • Podding is back as something more than flavor.

I'll do a huge informative, brutal post-mortem writeup when I'm done. In the meantime, back ta werk.

When Koofus' game gets buzz, he expands the scope, extends the schedule, and adds more stuff to do that is not [flying a spaceship].

When Kairo's game gets buzz, he stays focused on his core design, brutally chops everything that doesn't work, and makes a game about flying a spaceship.

Kairo strikes me as someone who would be a pretty good writer: he understands the value of good editing.

On the bright side, by the time this comes out maybe VR will be more mainstream. :v:
