We've launched an exciting new project of our own! Introducing the Kickstarter app for iPhone!

Funded! This project successfully raised its funding goal on May 30, 2012.

Monday Update, 50 hours left.

Update #16 · May 28, 2012 · 2 comments

We are just about ready to push our Monday update, which will include new modules, and expose our first pass of sub-systems, these will be for engine modules only for right now. 

When right clicking on an engine module, it will open a small inventory grid and change the module menu to the new sub-system menu. From here you can select sub-systems and place them in the module grid, this will modify the statistics allowing you to fine tune the engine characteristics of your ship. In future updates we will begin to implement sub-systems for the other modules, command, weapon, and hull. This is where the meat of ship customization will be introduced on the non-cosmetic level. 

We have been doing great on the campaign, we are at 53% and are gaining every day, but we need to step it up, in order to meet our goal, we need a lot more people.The team and I have been working very hard on Kinetic Void, we know there is interest, we know people are excited about the game. If people knew about Kinetic Void I'm sure more would be very interested in what we are doing here. I need your help, tell everyone, email, post, tweet, message anyone you can think of. we only have 50 hours left.

This is more than the development of a space game, this is the start of a new development process, we are completely open with our community, the good, and the bad. Every member of our development team actively participates in conversations with our fans, last-night we had a live stream and people really enjoyed it. We answered questions honestly, and openly. This is not a one time thing, this is how we will continue to develop all of our games, with our fans and communities involvement, feedback, and suggestions. Lets show people that a new and different development style works. Be part of our community, and get others involved! I know we can do this!
