The quick derailing of this topic makes me nervous .

(The links are quite interesting though.)

Threads get derailed quickly because there is nothing else to talk about here. The latest devlog has devolved into people rhyming words with "kill".

Bumpity bump - they've released some new screenshots, and booooooooooooy does it look pretty!

This entire last AAR is a great example of what operational-strategic thinking looks like in a space game. The cool part is not just that you're doing it, Scytale, but that the game actually is designed to allow you -- maybe even require you -- to function at that level in order to survive and expa...

Thanks very much for this. The first few times I tried playing this game I couldn't figure out why I couldn't just (a) build a mining station on literally every planet, and (b) colonize every conceivable world. The costs of doing these things were not apparent. Here is how I understand it at the mo...

Cheers Tycow, I'm learning to appreciate the underlying ideas of the game, even through the at-first seemingly impenetrable operating mechanics and UI, and I feel like in that sense the game is able to handle the scope it projects. Of course, my opinion about this may change if I suddenly get conqu...

Big thumbs up for this update. Trading and exploring were my favourite parts of Freelancer, and knowing that exploration can be a viable career in LT excites me.

Thanks Josh.

Great AAR Scytale, really enjoying it. It's a great game. 😁 Given that this game almost never goes on sale, and when it does it's still $30, I'm still trying to figure out if I want to shell out for it. Thanks for posting this.

That is all.

Hi Josh. It's good to see you focusing on game play... We only get worked up because we want to see you, your team, and LT succeed. :D As one of the more critical posters in the last thread, I just wanted to say that I didn't realise the importance of the widgetthingymabob you were making, and did c...

Almost to the month mark... :( I'm *really* hoping the silence from Josh, Lindsey and Adam is an indication of something. Maybe crunching to get something worth showing (i.e. game play) ready? If I had a dollar for every time one of us here thought that, I could quit my day job. LOL - never a truer...

Second the above, Tal. You're the reason I still have some faith in the project... Josh may have the vision, but you are the dedication the community needs.

*WHOOOOOSH*

The sound of another deadline whizzing by.

/me attempts Tal summoning ritual

Any news, Tal?

@Flatfingers - I too would like to see that!

Thanks, Tycow. I've been doing my best. :P I honestly believe things will improve from here. I wish I could say why I believe that, but under the NDA agreement Josh laid out, you'll have to wait for his next devlog (which, by the way, I'm not actually sure that it'll be today). I'm not worried thou...
