    Star Ruler. 4X/RTS being developed by indie developers. Procedurally generated galaxy, and modding capability on an immense scale.

    Hmmm, I've heard of another game with a procedurally generated galaxy thats being developed into an MMO, supposedly. Its called Infinity. It always sounded so ambitious that I wondered if it was a scam to get folks to donate money.

    But I guess this isnt MMO and seems a bit more reasonable. Looks cool, we'll see if it goes anywhere.

    (E- search Infinity Universe)

    EE-In fact watch these, and I dare you not to jizz in your pants:

    Maybe I wasnt only talking to you. I don't really care what epic threads you make.

    Nope.

    It's more like Sins of a Solar Empires, on a scale 1000x, but it has immense modability.

    I want to get in the beta and see what is all possible with the modding support.

    I want it to be a merge of the galactic civilizations 2 and sins of a solar empire gameplay with the large and random research tree of sword of the stars, then I will pay for this game 5 times over.

    From what I gathered, this is possible(the research).

    And I think the gameplay is what you're after as well, but I haven't played it yet, so I can only go off of the information they give.

    But hey, you can blow up planets in it, so that's always a fucking plus :D

    Actually this looks more like a 3D version of sword of the stars with sins of a solar empire elements in it and galactic civilization's ship editor, all in real time.

    My favorite potential feature are dyson spheres. :D

    I can tell you, this game has the potential to be the best 4X space game ever

    Yay dyson spheres, turtle power!

    I don't really see anything to recommend the game though, the videos are confusing and badly put together, the graphics look horrible, all I really see is a big feature list but no evidence of being able to pull it off.

    That's not a very good argument against it.

    This thread reminded me to put Chris on my ignore list. Woohoo!

    Sure the feature list is speculative, but if it holds up then I'm set to buy it. I've learned long ago that you probably shouldn't pre-order so you don't end up disappointed.

    From what I can tell, The game is 4X, lots of nifty shit, indie developed, and only $25. I'm excited and I'm going to be keeping my eye on it.
