Xenonauts Kickstarter “Heads-up” (Strategy/Small Squad Sim)
Quick (sorta) “heads-up” about Xenonauts game and Kickstarter event! Kickstarter page (with Demo): www.kickstarter.com Official Page: www.xenonauts.com “Xenonauts is a spiritual successor to the classic X-Com strategy games. We are aiming to take the original mechanics and update them for the modern age, making them easier to use and more in-depth without changing the fundamentals. All the classic features are present and accounted for — things like turn-based combat, destructible environments, soldier permadeath and large squad sizes (you’ll need them)!” FORUMS: punchwood.com TWITTER twitter.com FACEBOOK: www.facebook.com

I watch the E3 coverage from the yogscast and when they showed gameplay from the new xcom it didn’t look like this… i’m confused!

Once the full game is released, you should do let’s plays!

@XBluDiamondX it only took them so long because of world of warcraft

we’re talking about battlefield heroes, which was deved for 3 years before the release, and its been 3ish years since release.

Hmm, once I get going I can’t stop! I want to play more and share. :)
June 9th, 2012 at 1:31 PM
any one know the other games ?
June 9th, 2012 at 1:33 PM
This is the new Xcom! But yeah, I know Firaxis is making one too. :)

It’s not a big name game. It’s an indie. The game has been in development for 3 years, which sounds about right for a typical development cycle. Heck, look how long it took Blizzard to publish Diablo 3.

Theres a good game called Townseed, it’s fundraiser has about 45 days left, and it’s kinda like the Tale of Kingdoms mod but BETTER!

that’s a pretty long beta for a big-name game.
their website says its not a beta…
its as polished as a full release…
if it sounds like a full release and looks like a full release, it is a full release.

you should get the humble indie bundle V

Paul, what happened to Towns?
June 9th, 2012 at 1:49 PM
Doesn’t have to be a carbon copy, otherwise I would’ve spent hours in TFTD (pretty much a reskin). As far as psionics? Nah, don’t need it. It was fun to mess with it when I was a kid, but it made the game way too easy (in X-COM’s implementation anyway). What irks me, however, is when devs/pubs take a great game/franchise and change its genre entirely like 2K’s FPS XCOM. Firaxis might make a decent job of their project, as they do seem to be 2K’s best qual’d dev for it.I am just being skeptical.
