Since the game is being redesigned into underwater submarine version, I'm not sure there will be any aliens.
It's going to be more - post apocalyptic earth. (kinda like in Waterworld movie)
But there might be clans or factions.
Not sure yet. How much would you pay?
I'd love to see a video of a group of friends beating the a0.7 story
1. WHAT?!?! I must have missed that, lol. tl;dr, apologies. Still, even if it's on Earth doesn't mean you can't have different species, like mutants, crab people, sentient sea creatures that originate in the lower Mariana trench, etc.
2. Depends on how good and how big the game is. Most bigger games aren't worth the opening $60 price tag. I'll use a newer example, Civ 6. I've played it, and it's an AMAZING game. But it's not worth 60 bucks, at least in my opinion. $50 is pushing it, and $40 is more than fair, I'd settle for anything between those two as a fair price. Mind you, civ is a much bigger game than this will probably be, and thus warrants a bigger price. But if this is a REALLY good game like I think/hope it is, then I'd pay for it. Right now, based on what I've SEEN, $20 or $25 might be fair by the time the final product rolls around. If it's smaller or lower quality then I think it is, and I'm just imaging it being amazingly awesome (and I hope I'm not), then probably around $15, which is just a bit more than the original FTL.
3. I'm working on getting my friends organized into a group to play. Due to budget issues, one or more of them may not be able to pay for the alpha version currently available, but we'll at least TRY to put down some money.
Also, another idea. A free game I've been playing on Steam called Unturned has a pretty neat system for groups. How it works is when you join a Steam group, when you enter the game you can pick your primary group, then all members of that group on the server are highlighted on the map, and friendly fire is disabled against them. Even if this isn't on Steam, you could implement a similar system where players can join groups/clans/factions, and thus be able to find each other easier and won't be able to kill one another. I can easily see how this might be hard, so if it never happens I won't care all that much, I just think it'd be a nice addition.
I love the idea of it and the new features you've added, like leaving ships and such. Just a couple questions I want to ask before I actually pay for it (cause, you know... questions...) 1. do you plan on making aliens playable (or adding them)? 2. How much will the final game cost to play? 3. Is there some kind of spacesuit or something that lets you hold your breath longer in space or kind of acts as a room and gives you a time until you start suffocating? and lastly, 4. I've seen a couple gameplay videos and it was REALLY COOL, only thing I noticed that I didn't like so much was that when you leave the ship usually the back door to the airlock is still open, causing two rooms to be depleted of air instead of one. This is more a suggestion than a question, but maybe if you added a special door that can only be opened when all other doors are closed (unless manually overridden), since this is how most airlocks work in games and real life.
