Hey guys, found a game like minecraft on steroids. I can't describe it just watch the video and it will speak for itself.

OK, this game looks like all sorts of crazy. I think the whole Minecraft look to it is just the editor because I didn't see any real combat while that happend. But using the editor looks awesome, the whole environment and meshes update with it.
The combat just looks CRAZY. It looks so fast! Those aliens are just on crazy steroids!
And the whole thing with night time and seeing asteroid belts and planets etc is kind of mind blowing (visually).

I'd love to try this out just to see how crazy it can get. Can you imagine the multiplayer/co-op?

Also the particles needs some major work. The rain is just laughable.

I tried the game, still in alpha and lots of bug but most of the features are present. Not fun yet in my opinion but I can't wait to play the polished version of this game.

btw the game uses unity engine.

Their site seems to be getting hammered. Is it windows only?

Going to have to try this one out. Site wouldn't work for me, but I found download links on their facebook:

These things tickles my interests, but the game looks very hard to read.

It's not gaining anything by having every combination of shader code known to man, and would most likely have been better off with a more simple, readable and artistic look.

Yeah, so far it looks like strange mashup of things.

It's kind of refreshing though. You have lots of games nowadays that milk the hell out of one gameplay feature and game instantly gets boring/unplayable if player chooses not to use it and decides to explore on his/her own.

This, on the other hand, while being bizarre is so sandbox that people still want to try out. Could turn out awesome if it gets some cleanup and direction.

Looks crazy for two guys doing it...

And .. it uses the Unity Engine, just to mention it ...

Looks awesome to me, sure it looks like it has lots of rough edges but that could be only because it is in a alpha state. Im wondering though about the design of the forts, wood and very cheap looking metal panels but a high tech halo armour!? I think a clean high tech design for forts would be much better. Traveling to space and vehicles sounds great too!
