Welp I've endorsed it. Everyone else check this sucker out, it looks good.

From your Steam account, go to Community, Greenlight, and I found it instantly via the Search function.

Arioch have the developers of this game submitted it for review by any game reviewers or internet personalities? Totalbiscuit comes to mind, perhaps even PewDiePie.

Hmm...

As a 4X fan I will see if I can get some people to look into this and once it is out I will see if I can submit a review in a particular site I frequent.

We have, a few, and started doing press releases, but it's not ready yet for "review" (there are still some key features unfinished), so we want to be careful how hard we push it.

Just gave it my upvote. Definitely looking forward to actually being able to play this, Arioch.

:(

No steam account, no game fo me?

Game otherwise looks good.
A graphic style I like.
It also seems astonishingly similar to MoO2, with som elements of Star Control III in there as well (how the planets iside a solar system can be selected)..

Heck, if I had ime to play, I would be very interested!

Any chance for a Linux version? I see someone else on Greenlight had questions about that too. Maybe some day I set up a dual boot with Windows, but till then, I'm 'nix only.

[EDIT]Checked the other forum, found this thread.

Here's to hoping.[/EDIT]

You don't need Steam; the game can be purchased and downloaded directly from our website.

Arioch plz tell me you receive a percentage of whatever proceeds are made from this game, your art is amazing.

How long has this game been in the works?

Post by **Arioch** » Sun Jan 03, 2016 3:22 am

If the game ends up making money, I'll see some of it.

The initial concepts for what eventually became the Ashdar were done in 2008. More serious work started in 2011.

Wowza, that's a pretty significant chunk of time. I will be letting all of my Steam friends know about this game. Is there a race creator or game editor option available? I loved the race creator option in MOO2. I made Squats, Tyranids, Imperial Guard, you name it.

I think there is a galaxy 4x game out there that allows you to make your own space marine chapter...

There probably won't be a game editor, but it's relatively easy to mod, as most of the game data is in editable lua script files.

Up voted and left a comment. Does actually perk my interest now I look at the game more.

SIS has been successfully greenlit! Thanks to everyone for your support.

I'm still not sure exactly what the criteria for success is, but the project received 3,325 votes in 9 days, and was ranked #11 of 5,741 games in greenlight. I feel pretty good about that for a little 2-man indie project.

Good news!

Greenlight seems kinda odd to me in that they ask you to rate ANY game, it seems like they would want to target fans of whatever genre the game is in to see how THEY feel about it. I would say I'm sure Valve knows what they're doing, but I'm pretty sure they don't.

Congratulations! Now you just have to make an Outsider-verse mod for it!

Sven and I took part in a 2-hour Space Game Junkie podcast about Stars in Shadow. It's mostly a lot of chatting, but there is some gameplay shown.

Stars in Blue Space?

fredgiblet · Post by **fredgiblet** » Mon Jul 18, 2016 6:43 am

It's listed in the Steam store now, not available yet but you can set it to following or put it on your wishlist.

Arioch, some questions for you:

What's the price going to be upon release?
Will there be a Steam preorder available?
Are you thinking about doing an Early Access release for early buy-in?
Apropos of literally nothing else, which do you think has the best looking ships:
1. Homeworld 1 Hiigarans
2. Homeworld 1 Taiidan
3. Homeworld 1 Turanic Raiders
4. Homeworld 1 Kadeshi Swarmers
5. Homeworld Cataclysm Kiith Somtaw
6. Homeworld 2 Hiigarans
7. Homeworld 2 Vagyr
