It's like they made this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5VsdKesdaKs&feature=related) into a game.

Incredible. Very techy, currently lacking in a cohesive design both visually and gameplay-wise, but that's alpha for you. High hopes, it's look incredible.

Elements of FPS, RTS, Minecraft, Day Z (multiplayer procedural survival and persistent characters) and still looks like it's own thing rather than a clone. Combining/ignoring genre. Wow.

Oh and the Free to Play this is a bad sign. Hopefully they mean expansions, and not DLC... eh, it's still a terrible idea. Let us buy your product.

huh?



Also, just saw the news on RPS and holy shit. It looks lovely. And I think everyone thought fucking SCBW intro. Not taht thats a a bad thing.

ur specs bro?

I've tried and this game seriously needs some optimization. I can easily run a game like Hard Reset at max specs and res in a reasonable speed, but even at 800x600 and the lowest spec possible I get below 30fps. It's a nice concept and the game looks nice in max settings, but I hope they make it faster.
(oh, and the initial loading time is about a minute or two for me)

@mooosh on the same boat here.

I'll give my specs as well.

4GB RAM
Nvidia GT 320M
i5 2.27 GHz
Windows 7 64bit

so this is basically halo + stalker + minecraft?

sounds good

it's got some pretty hilarious physics

it appears to be using Crytek's engine, so yeah not surprised it's not going to run well on a lot of machines. probably not going to bother downloading it, Crysis 2 didn't run so well on my (quite old) pc.

looks nice though.

It was made in Unity, not CryEngine. (since the .exe icon is the Unity square and the options' popup is the one found in most Unity games)

So someone beat me to my dream game that I've wanted to make since I was in 7th grade. Not sure if I should be happy or sad

Also the fact this was made in Unity is awesome

oh, the HUD and Guns looked like they came from Crysis. oops.

it's just the 0.1 release hopefully they'll optimize it

omg and this is freeware

even minecraft wasn't freeware!

EDIT: it won't work lol

maybe don't play it on a netbook?

My PC isn't a netbook imo (not high end, but it's not a netbook either). I just don't think there's anything on that game that should make my computer lag, specially when playing it at lowest specs possible and at 800x600.

Reminds me of Sanctum.

I love the physics based gameplay. Coming from a Fun-Motion guy, haha
But really this games AMAZING!

Thanks for the kind comments guys! Were working really hard on it and many updates have been made since the game went viral. You can find them all at our main website - www.starforge.com (http://www.starforge.com) :)

merged into existing thread.

the search function is your best friend

Strange, the search-function hasn't provided any results.

Have fun optimizing a fully dynamic open world system. The graphics card won't do much for you except they made their algorithms run on it.
