Hey guys!

I haven't posted in a while... Brings back memories.

Since the launch of Void Destroyer - I've been busy working on Void Destroyer 2. Part 2 will be a "open world" "sandbox" game. A bit like Privateer, a bit like Freelancer, a bit like the X games, etc - the stuff of dreams for space sim fans - I hope!

Still a combo of space sim and RTS. However this time focusing more on the "smaller" aspect of piloting a ship - initially - until the player gets a fleet. I've learned this lesson to smooth the learning curve via the first game's release.

Been keeping it under wraps as I decided to change the art style, and its been a bit of a rocky road getting it presentable. Now I'm ready to show it off!

Here's the first trailer:

Here's a video "explainer" of the game in its current state:

Again I've launched a Kickstarter to help fund the project - though this time - I'm very luckily - able to self fund to some degree thanks to Steam sales of the original game.

If you are into the Kickstarter type thing - check it out:



(if you are curious about the art style - I'm going to do a KS update talking about it - and the process to create it - so I'll probably update this post with it - soon afterwards).

Or you can check out the Coming Soon Page on Steam (the game was pre-approved thanks to being a sequel):

Like the original game Void Destroyer 2 uses Ogre (version 1.9.0), CEGUI, Bullet (with btOgre) and OgreOggSound.

Thanks to the great Ogre community - without Ogre this wouldn't have been possible.

This looks great!.

Cool that you're continuing with the genre after finishing a first game - few people even get that far.

I like the teaser, and I really like how it turns from an RPG into more of an RPG/RTS mix. Of course the video doesn't tell much, but it looks like you're managing to get a smooth transition from the first to the latter.
Well done, looking forward to more!

Thanks!

The sandbox is very basic - but the great thing is that adding onto an existing code base is very easy. Plus there's a strong combat engine from the first game


We've (me and contract artist) have been focused mostly on assets for the new art style. Glad that people generally like it - so we can proceed down the direction and hopefully improve it as much as we can.

Update - new trailer (getting ready for Early Access release - in the upcoming weeks)

looking very very nice, I wish you great success!

Dang, you beat me out of early access with not one, but two games. I'm moving too slow.

One thing I noticed is that both of your trailers are quite long. I suggest having at least one 30-second teaser if you plan on doing any paid marketing.

Also, I think I mentioned this before, but you need to bundle VD1+2 together.

Added to my wishlist. When I actually finish my game, I'll be sure to pick it up.

[chaosavy]

Thanks guys.

It's a 40-100+ hour game so trailers are long too...

Looks great!

Must have been a lot of work, hope you get the success you deserve.
