One Guy is Building a Huge Sci Fi RPG That Rivals AAA Titans - Spacebourne 2 

No man. YOU ROCK. this is quite the achievement already. Bravo Sir.

the GOAT himself has spoken! by the way this is not just an introduction, he already played it a year ago

This looks great, but is there an easy difficulty setting? I mean _very_ easy?

Please, please, PLEASE, have a look at i-war 2 edge of chaos. You will understand why i asked. That are some game mechanics that would be perfect here.

@@ohnoitisnt666 No... you

just remember to get the weight of the bag of sand right when you steal the gem

That makes more sense. I'm looking at that and thinking, "No one man could build all this."

Consider the evocron series which is mostly by a single developer​@@UrsahSolar

I hope he does a kickstarter and get those volunteers hired and reimbursed for the part they've had. The game looks incredible, he and his volunteers can be proud.

@@DeltaNovum That happens a lot with indie games. The volunteers are often passionate, and if it's a successful release, they get a fraction of that well-deserved financial reward. But even if it's a flop, they already achieved what they strive for.

@@ZeroXSEED I haven't heard about anyone being compensated whatsoever. That may have changed but when I was going to be assisting with audio design and found I wouldn't be compensated at all I declined to take part. I know of a few others as well that did but were also never compensated. One would hope this stuff was discussed prior to the work but I'm unsure of the details on that. The only one I know is compensated is the CM.

I do

I'm still have it on cd next to my computer.. I never found the joy that game gave me heh..

Sure do!

I remember Privateer 2 had some weird cutscenes. Solid gameplay in both though.

I played Privateer: the end-game boss ship was a royal pain in the a** ... so much shielding and Panzer tank armour. I never played Privateer 2 because of the poor reviews ( the cut scenes on RU-vid, with Clive Owen, look funny and cheesey ).

Making me spit up soda with such a perfect joke.

Extreme ways in queue*

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!

Now I gotta go watch that movie again. Thanks. Haha.

Dang it! I was gonna make that joke :(

So glad he got some help. We might have a fully finished game in 5 years lol.

Had to look and see if someone else was going to show him the atmosphere nav shortcut lol

​@@luxinveritate3365 x3. There is a learning curve for some parts of the game like navigation and fitting out the ship, but once you know, you know. 😊 Might be time for another playthrough. The good and bad of the updates is that it can break old saves, but that is because so much new stuff has come in, and/ or the UI got tidyed up IMO. 😊

@@D64nz me too, have been thinking of starting it up again.

awesome comment

Sounds like good feedback for the developer.

@@R3GARnator Oh he's gotten that feedback on the forums PLENTY. lol. At this rate it's probably a couple more years away from being addressed. But we'll see. In fairness it is a one-man operation so that inclines me toward more patience and tolerance than i'd ever give the likes of Bethesda. I feel like there really is a great game here, just BEGGING to be let off the leash...but it's got a long way to go before it gets there. If it ever does.

I've watched some let's play of it. Does look a little daunting to dive into

no i can't disagree with you more. this game is so very accessible compared to others. there's a good tutorial and if you follow it, its so rewarding. nothing difficult abt this game

@@Propellerkyylik Please don't misunderstand me. I LIKE the game. I want it to succeed. But i continue to run into roadblocks. Enough that I wish there could just be a simplified version of the game. Gimme a proper quick travel at least. The whole process of flying to a warp gate, plotting a route, requesting permission. making sure you fly within the lines as you pass through the gate and then gaving to make MULTIPLE jumps, getting a 3 second scan at each effing waypoint and then when you FINALLY arrive you have to find whatever planet or station you're looking for and then on top of everything up to that point you must now find your landing point, deploy your landing gear and manually land.... That. Ish. Is. Pure. Torture. That's how convoluted it gets when the game is being played right. Imagine how ugly it gets when you DON'T know a step in the process. And I think I myself just missed a couple of steps in that little outline. I like the game. I wouldn't even bother complaining about it if I wasn't so frustrated at how great I feel like it COULD be, if it wasn't so obsessed with making me micromanage what SHOULD be the most simple thing in a videogame....moving from Point A to Point B.

How is it currently? Still jank as all heck?

@@wrongthinker843 Yes. But it's getting better with each update usually. From what I've been reading on steam all of the most recent updates have been purely bug fixing. So thats encouraging.

​@@wrongthinker843I rather have jank than a incomplete cash grab....

I never buy early access games on principle, but wishlisted this the moment I saw it. I'll check reviews at the time of release.

@@R3GARnator $19.99 vs SEVENTY FREAKIN' dollars... Highway robbery by "mainstream publishers". This guy already earned twenty bucks worth of fun by my estimation.

THANKY for the tip! o7 Peaceful Skies.

Wait.... What? Fuck. I didn't have to spend 40 minutes flying in completely shit weather to get to my quest marker?

It does explain this the first time yo go to a planet. I got the tutorial pop up telling me to hit B. You probably missed it.

@@styxriverr5237 Gee, bonus play value!

I love starfield but I 100% agree with you

The engine Bethesda uses belongs in a museum.

@@R3GARnator as a Bethesda fan this is also facts 😂

@@R3GARnator I heard that in Indiana Jones' voice.

@@R3GARnator no, you can do planet to planet in real time, it just a console command that works similar to removing the world boundary in Skyrim or Oblivion - also, you can, if you do it a certain way, reduce the rest or get rid of them - its an engine issue, it was a design choice.

I've only ever made it to the start of the mid game twice of times and that's easily a good 30 hours. It's what I think is missing from elite dangerous, the ability to form a huge organisation. The pilot hierarchies are pretty straightforward and their income from privateering helps until you start taking over stations and can really start to expand.

I kind of assume that joining provides benefits, not enables you to collect. How else are they going to know you can do the job?

Why would you need to join the guild to collect bounties, lol. Why does the bounty hunter guild even exist, lol. They're not the ones issuing the bounties and the merc office should cover all merc activities anyway. Not to mention taking a whopping 25% cut of bounties for nothing. Wow. If this setting was for real, the place must be quite fucked up in interesting ways.

Many stations have a bounty terminal to "sell" captured pilots off to. The BH guild just gives you missions to go hunt down specific individuals.

@@steelwasp9375 Now if they had special gear and say discounts on higher tiers of gear made for bounty work would be helpful. Maybe a future aspect to be added.

​​@@enriquehirshfeltikov2395yeah, bounty hunting missions are their own thing and good income. Think of private contacts on people. Selling wanted pilots is more like arrests for the police, so it's a different thing. Any ship you kill in any mission has a chance to leave a pod behind and/or scrap. 😊 Edit: also your pilot stats affect your drop chances, and chances of rare. A lot of good gear and weapons comes from these drops, like Diablo style games. Drops seem to happen around your current level so they are always worth checking.

Ziggy d in the house

well said

That is indeed what this is. You actually have landing armies. Whether or not you see the field battles, I'm not sure. I've just been keeping an eye on dev for this for some time.

problem is horses do not fare well in vaccums.

@@vforwombat9915 Well seeing how Mount&Blade horses can climb 85° cliffs and stay unter water for an unlimited time without dying, I don't think the vacuum of space will be any problem. Lube them up with butter and they are good to go for atmospheric reentry.

@@vforwombat9915 Silly goose, you don't use land horses in the vacuum of space, you use space horses!

200 people plus 40 studios they hired to assist and 200 million budget.

LOL. And the stupid star citizen too

This seems to be made in unreal not a 50 year old engine and he didn't shipped modelling to some indian sweatshop

@@ForumBlackwolfdave If game development were a battlefield, Bethesda would be heading to the trenches with a bow & arrow.

Don’t you want 16x the detail?

More than a decade 😂

😂YES Amazing, this should be top comment.

Star Citizen isn't a game, it is a storefront...

Star Citizen is an investor scheme. If they released, they'd lose their cash cow.

To be fair, Star Citizen was always designed to be a scam. I bet Chris Roberts is surprised people are still buying ships.

But muh poor ship!

wait what? it always locks steering and sh*t so I can't do anything and always wait for that haul to end XD

@@WojDestroyer I don't remember exactly, played last time a year ago. But there's a key you press and it shows points of interest before you descend into the planet's atmosphere. So you can lock into that. Same as wrapping if I remember correctly

B button

@@robertc.5558u mean on keyboard or that weird sh*t called "controller"?

Ground combat is usually fairly easy if you keep your weapons up to date. Your squad and you can usually take care of most threats. Usually the hardest mission is the underground mech fight. 😊

@@D64nz oh I meant like art assets. Last time I played there was very much difference between weapons look wise and sometimes the looks did not match the behavior of the weapon.

i love these projects i bought spacebourne 1 and 2 and so havent havent played them but i love that this guy is building this game. I genuinly can't wait for a closeer to release version to give it a go.

yup, only quadruple AAAA here like Skull n Bones!!

@@AngryJesus1 Shiver me timbers! I still get the shivers just thinking about that fiasco

Giant? Sure, but not in achievement, only in the scale of their failures.

Wasn't Baldurs Gate 3 considered to be the last AAA game that was released.

@@robdielemans9189 Last time I checked BG3 is not a space sim though.

It's a Skyrim mod

@@King-O-Hell Poorly implemented mod....

@@phlogistanjones2722 You're telling me! I put down 70$ on it

He has an older video on this game too.

Mining is, for certain. Not sure about scavenging. You might need some specialized equipment and certain type of ship. I saw in the video that there was debris left behind by the pirate ships. Stuff that looked like it could be interactable.

There's mining (and a mining guild that sells a dedicated mining rig), and some scavenging of parts from wrecks. Going out to hollow out asteroids is slow and a bit repetitive, but it's there.

Battlecruiser 3000AD?

@@josephsmith7114 i took a look at some screencaps and stuff, and i don't think that was it. The graphics in the game i'm thinking of was a lot more ps2 esque and the player character was a girl with a brown leather jacket and goggles, with stylized proportions kinda exaggerated long legs rather than realistic
