Another????
There's a serious 4X flood of late :P

I've had my eye on this one for a while as well. 

I look forward to it, but I hadn't mentioned it yet since it looks like work on it has barely begun (relatively speaking).  From what I can tell, it's not even in an early pre-alpha state yet -- it's more of a discrete collection of mechanics & systems that when cobbled together, might someday approach something resembling a 4x title.  Call me in another year or so; then I'll get excited!  :D

An update on this one: 


While I'm a Kickstarter backer for this project, I've not really talked much about Predestination thus far.  This is partially because it seems like the more I discuss an upcoming 4x title, the more likely I am to jinx it in some way.  :-[  Moreover, while the game has been developing at a steady pace for quite some time, it's only recently that progress has reached a point where (IMO) it may finally be worth mentioning.  The developers have just released their major monthly update (for June), which includes a fair bit of info on what's gotten the last several weeks. 

In addition, they announced the game now has a Steam Greenlight page, so if it looks interesting to you, go vote it up!  Apparently they're going to be on Desura and IndieDB as well, and are also on GOG's wishlist. 


It's still going to be a while yet before we see Predestination released (earliest date I've seen mentioned is Q4 2013), and I'm not prepared for a 4x revolution in any case, so no need to get excited yet.  However, the devs do have some interesting ideas & mechanics that I've not seen in a space strategy game before, and I'm curious to see how (well) they work together.

Just gave it a thumbs up on my Steam account. Looks like a game with a lot of potential. Here's hoping.

Wow, so many space 4x games. I was just reading about Worlds Collide on Space Sector. Who knows what else is coming. Don't get me wrong, I do love a good space 4x game but I have to ask, why is no one doing a turn based 4x game that is like Civilization? All I see are fantasy or space based 4x games.
p.s. I'm on my second Manhattan. I could be rambling.  ::)

[edit] Just saw the feline race. There also better be a rodent race! Don't we like rodent races around here?  ;D
