Game seems to be coming along nicely..BUT

[NeilF]

There have been clarifications that expansions will be fully priced due of huge amount of work needed for them, and that there could be at least two - walking and landings.

Wow! Well that really does set the scale/scope of them then! ie: To warrant £30 or so to land on a planet there would have to be a whole lot more to it than just the visuals. ie: All the suggested stuff (missions/animals/vistas) we've talked about in the past!

It looks just awesome I must say, I usually go nuts where you fly-by that canister, head look really adds to this game Btw, for clarification, how old this footage was? As I understand you created art diary for longer time than expected due of pre-alpha crunch.

Good luck!

We did several takes over the development of the video because more stuff was going in and the video was taking longer than expected. So the footage you saw of us was taken literally days before it went live

Ummm, I am not exactly sure but Cheap and Alpha, at least in ED, should not be used in the same sentence to reference each other.

Cheap was intended to reference SC since its alpha was attainable even with the lowest ship package. Apologies for the confusion. In some ways, that many alpha testers for SC can be seen as a good thing for transparency. But I think the vocal negativity from people that just want to play early will flood the forums.

It was a bit of a pill for my wife and I to swallow after "heavily" backing SC...

But we bought the Private Alpha at £200, and here we are!

 

[Asp Explorer]

Welcome Alpha, to the alpha backers!

It IS a lot of pennies to spend, but at the end of the day I think it'll be worth it.

Hope to see you in-game

Also most of the footage for the earlier Damocles video was rendered from in game footage. It was only the cockpit and various post processing on top that is obviously not in game. However the demo footage in the latest dev diary is all in game and looking damn close if not better than the Damocles video in my opinion.

Thats good to know. I was starting to get worried we would never see anything from in game, but if its just the cockpits that were artificially overlaid then that is fine. Looking forward to seeing what comes out from the alpha testing.

If you watch the latest dev diary you can see exactly what was in game and what was added afterwards, as well as some peeks at a relatively recent build:

Yes thanks Michael I was talking out of my ass as usual. I just jumped at some comments from some idiots over at the Steam XRebirth forum who were slagging off ED saying that there hasnt been any gameplay footage shown yet. But looking a the latest dev diary its obvious its pretty much all there now. Just ignore me from now on and carry on with creating the game
