@Frank Tablot
PC/Mac have not last a single feature that is on the mobile versions of the game - except for touch. Again, to quote from our FAQ:
Will the PC/MAC Version differ from the mobile?
Yes - it will have a new UI, better sound, more FX, and some additional features to capitalize on the much more powerful desktop system. Furthermore, the PC/MAC version will most likely have missions, aliens, ships and planets that are exclusive for some time to that version (these may eventually get re-converted into the mobile game as well so you can play the same save-game between them).
Regardless- think of the PC/MAC as the ultimate version.
This is still the very much the case.

This is literally our first FAQ question, posted verbatum:
When is Star Command coming out?
The mobile version (iOS, Android) is on track for Late Summer. The PC/Mac release will be POST LAUNCH after the dust settles on the mobile version.
This is been there since the Kickstarter campaign started. This is till the case.

1. We still aren't sure. Steam gives us more than DRM protection - it allows us to use their support system for mods, updates, etc. We are in talks with desura, etc. But the game has not been submitted to greenlight yet, so we arent even sure we can get on the Steam store.
2. Please see our latest update.
Creator Nigel Lau 6 days ago
While i appreciate the iOS version has final given birth, i would like as someone who backed the PC/Mac version find out a few things i would like some concrete answers to.
1) What is exactly the plan for delivery of the PC/Mac version?. Only Steam greenlight has been mentioned. Will you or will you guys not be able to supply this game drm free (Desura,GOG, direct download from your website)?. The reason i ask, is pretty much every other kickstarter i have backed (and theres been quite a few) other devs have confirmed drm free or not during the KS campaign. You guys havent confirmed anything in regards with this, and its a bit unfair for people (im sure theres more than a few) who hoped for a drm free one and never had an answer before the KS closed to make a decision on backing this ks or not.
2) What exactly is the state of play with the PC (especially the Mac one as nothing has been mentioned at all as far as i can see) version?. Has porting started at all?.
@ Jason B. Thats not the point. Giving iOS backers access to PC alpha/beta/final game feels bit or a rort (im sure other PC/Mac backers feel the same). Why should iOS /mobile backers have access to PC/Mac specific stuff when it doesnt work in the reverse?. Im hesitant to use the word ripped off but having backed this kickstarter at $25 tier (considering the quality of the other games i have backed at this level) im starting to feel a bit peeved to be frank.

Anyone else really disappointed that we're not getting the PC/Mac version until after the iOS and Android version?
I mean PC/Mac is in the title. I don't see iOS or Android up there.
Creator Frank Talbot on May 15
Wasn't the PC version supposed to be the ultimate one including everything from the mobile version and more features? We've yet to see anything from the PC version and some features are already being cut down :(
Creator Star Command on May 14
Minigames are going away most likely for the PC. We are having a discussion on our forums of new things to include
http://forum.starcommandgame.com/
Creator Nori on May 14
Having played the iOS version (which is great BTW) I'm very curious how some of the elements are going to translate onto a PC/Mac release. Specifically the firing of weapons. The mini game therein is great for a touch enabled device, but I can't help but think/feel that it will be clunky or tedious on a computer. Anyone have any thoughts on that?
Creator James Finn on May 12
@tom if you watch their video they say "after the IOS and android launch we want to bring it to pc" or some thing very close to those line.
Creator Star Command on May 10
We have a big update coming with Android tat we think you guys will REALLY enjoy!
So glad to hear you guys are having fun with the game!
Creator Star Command on May 10
@ Tom Minton: form the FAQ:
What is my support going to? Why do you need a second kickstarter?
We are going to hire additional developer(s) and artist(s) to help us with the last stage of mobile, and more importantly work on the PC/MAC version.
Creator Tom Minton on May 10
I backed the PC version. There was no mention of iOS or Android being created first. I think this is bate and switch, and I'll not forget the kind of person Jordan Coombs has shown of himself and his project.
Creator Alex Ting on May 9
the game is already damn fun - i want to play more of it - and you've already patched it. Warballoon, you guys are awesome :D
Creator Oliver Ark Kurek on May 9
So, I picked up this game on iOS on the day of release, and everything looks great. Absolutely can't wait to get this on the PC. Hoping for Alpha or Beta access sometime soon! Keep up the great work!
Creator Star Command on May 6
Steam greenlight is our preference for now - but it still is TBD
Creator Star Command on May 6
there is a tutorial called 'tooltips' when you start a new game.
We'd love to make improvements our tutorial as we go too.
Creator Marie-Andree Poisson on May 4
Star Command is an Editor's Choici in the App store, at least in Canada!! Wouwee!!
Creator Anne Coyle on May 4
2 things
1 can I have the name changed in credits as the account name is different from my own ( very different)
2 is there still plans for this to be a steam game or will you use some other method?
Creator Marie-Andree Poisson on May 3
What about a small tuturia or guidel for the iOS version?
Creator Star Command on May 3
When we are ready we will be sending out an alpha to all of our backers so you guys can be a part of optimizing the final PC game.
We are really excited to have all you guys play the PC version and give us feedback (via our forums). As we implement the new features month by month - that will be the first place they go - to you guys in their early forms and we will use your feedback to optimize.
Creator Star Command on May 3
@ Jason B - maybe we can add a light and dark texture to differentiate them even more- we will look into this!
Creator Star Command on May 3
Sorry for confusion Tim,
The PC/Mac is an extension of the mobile. It is literally the same code, with PC/Mac having more -
It is the same game (code base) with PC/Mac getting more additions/fixes/optimizations for that environment.
And these are going to be big - more in-line with sandbox, away missions, etc. (things we wanted to do in mobile but ran out of time/resources/weren't appropriate for device type of things).
So bottom line: The PC/Mac is going to be the most badass form of Star Command - all the lessons learned with mobile will be addressed and are being improved for the PC.
Creator M. Tim Jones on May 3
Okay -- I'm no longer confused, I'm just annoyed and surprised.
We're 8 months past the estimated delivery date, and I apparently helped fund a game for a format that I didn't expect (note that none of the pledges mentions iOS), but one that allows you to derive revenue. It's not about about "breaking the bank", it's about how you treat those that funded you. This is bait and switch.
This has been an interesting Kickstarter lesson for me...
Creator Jason B. on May 3
To all backers who back this game. We were backing the pc version! So yes, You will have to purchase iOS or android versions of star command @ $2.99 on iOS is not going to break the bank plus the game is super fun just a FYI to Star Command Dev's I have a friend who's color blind he's having trouble picking out the green and red coin currency is this an easy fix thanks big fan
Creator M. Tim Jones on May 2
I'm so confused. I funded a game (PC) that was switched to iOS, but the link I received for the game requires a purchase on iTunes. Is there no code to download the game? Did I help fund a game that I need to now purchase like everyone else?
Creator Marie-Andree Poisson on May 2
Maybe, there should be a little guide / tutorial. I'm little bit at lost with combat, token management, etc.
Creator Star Command on May 2
The ship 'Pen' and it is number 15 for the series.
Creator Brian Dobbins on May 2
can't wait to play the game, Scota... of the Um system..
Creator Star Command on May 2
We are determining price and/or if we can gift the app to all our android people for free - but if we do all PC/Mac backers will be included in this group.
Creator Mur on May 2
So if I got the PC version and not the Android, will give me access to the android port?
Creator Star Command on May 2
Also, we have plans for mod support for the PC/Mac - just wanted to say we are excited with the prospect of fighting giant dick-shaped enemy aliens called the scrota.
Creator Star Command on May 2
Yes - all of our kick starters are like one big family - PC/Mac backers get the ios/Android exclusives too.
These exclusives are going to be in update 1.1
Creator Neil on May 2
If we backed the PC/Mac version, is there still a way for us to get the exclusive content on the android/iOS versions?
Creator Star Command on May 2
We will investigate surface tablet options - it is a pretty badass device.
Creator Lee Swain on May 2
Oops just saw the soundtrack in the update :)
Thanks!
Creator Star Command on May 2
So see our update on the PC/Mac status - but basically the reviews are good- and the 'problems' are aligning with our PC Version improvements the PC/Mac will absolutely be benefitting if mobile sales go well!
Creator Lee Swain on May 2
Excited for you guys that it's getting such a great reception! Looking forward to playing the Android version while I wait for my PC version.
Keep asking this with no response so far. Any chance of touch support in Windows? Would be a great game on the Surface.
Also I see the soundtrack being peddled on Facebook. When do the backers get their copies?
CONGRATS!
Creator Star Command on May 2
@ Corey Vincent
Apple makes it impossible to give games away for free- sorry. BUT YES we are still absolutely giving you all the PC/MAc for free, and granting early-access to the beta when it is ready.
If the mobile sales go well we'd love to hire some more people to make it even more badass.
In addition the exclusives and the ebook, and how-tos are all bigger than they were before and we have made these our top priority (right behind android) in making sure you guys get some bad ass exclusives.
Creator Star Command on May 2
so one of the tricky parts is keeping trakc of which red shirts are in which room. We are going to have more uniforms down the road so this difference is more apparent- but for now, be sure to send the correct people back to their correct rooms (using that return button below).
Creator Jeffrey Losapio on May 2
correction, it says it's unmanned graphically, but does function
Creator Jeffrey Losapio on May 2
yay bugs! machine gun thinks it's unmanned when it's got max crew in it
Creator Corey Vincent on May 2
Oh, and Rock on for the release! Making a game isn't easy, and its that much harder when you have expectations from close to 6 thousand backers.
Creator Corey Vincent on May 2
So, if we purchased the $10 pledge, do we get the iOS version? Or do we have to wait for the Mac release? I was under the impression the iOS was a part of that. Do we get some sort of code for the download?
Creator Deathmachine on May 2
I want to get the PC version on GOG please..
Creator Luc Bernardin on May 2
Grats on the release!
Creator Rohit Suvarna on May 2
Congratulations WarBalloon :)
Creator Torment Superfan - The Enduring Exile on April 28
It'd like to hear news about Steam Greenlight. It takes months from Greenlight to getting the game on Steam.
Have you started the process yet?
Creator Conor White on April 24
Apple stop dicking around and let Star Command be released you jerks it's been over a week and I don't think it takes that long to do a age warning.
Creator Chris Behm on April 15
@M. Tim Jones - the mobile version is first, the PC/Mac version is built up from that starting point.
Creator Brian Desrosiers-Tam on April 15
Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!!!
