Contact Vector on Kickstarter

I like seeing a ships own PDS take out it's own outbound missiles. it speaks of the fidelity of the game.

Heh.

I recall being stunned by the Phalanx on the back of my Perry-class Frigate blowing up the Seahawk helos I tried to launch from the deck in Dangerous Waters.  Twice.

There was an "Away" report from the ASW helo followed by a "BRRRRRR.. BOOM!" sound both times.  WTF?!!  Evidently I was supposed to order the Phalanx put into Standby mode before launch or recovery or it's little robot brain would panic fire when it detected an air target right in front of it.    Point defense system my ass!  More like Point Offender System.  ;D

Nothing new, but a preview over at Space Sector.

Not looking too good for Kickstarter, hopefully they have another avenue to get to market.

Not surprisingly, the Kickstarter failed, but the dev says he will continue...


This is a quick update to thank everyone who supported our project and to let people know that Contact Vector is still continuing. Despite the Kickstarter not meeting goals this kickstarter has been a useful learning experience and we'll be taking the lessons we learnt here and applying them to our future plans.

We'll be creating a blog and mailing this for people who wish to follow the project's progress soon and we have plans for more demos and stuff for journalists and bloggers to write about.

I recently added some basic networking to our project and I've been playing my co-designer.. But you'll get to hear more about that when the blog's up...

Too bad but i am going to buy that game anyway...
