Void Destroyer 2 - Early Access Released!

Hey guys!



Very excited to bring you Void Destroyer 2 - and happy that we will make a amazing space sandbox - together.

http://store.steampowered.com/app/369530/

Its been a long road - since 2009 when I first experimented with rendering engines, struggling to put up a cube on screen.



To make the game the best that it can be - I'll need feedback on the good on the bad and ugly. I'll need criticism, ideas, and just general thoughts that I'll think about in order to improve. I'll need your support and encouragement, I'm not worried, so far I've gotten it, otherwise I wouldn't have made it this far.

If you enjoyed Void Destroyer - I'm nearly 99.999999% sure you'll love Void Destroyer 2. If you wished that Void Destroyer was a sandbox game... well I'm 99.999999999999% sure you'll love Void Destroyer 2.

So hop on over, check it out and consider supporting the project in Early Access.

thanks!

Paul

Void Destroyer 2 - New Trailer and Early Access Release Plans

Hey guys!



Another Void Destroyer 2 update.

http://store.steampowered.com/app/369530/

The goal is to release on Early Access the week of the 26th. Most likely on Thursday the 29th.

EDIT: Now planning on releasing tomorrow the 22nd!



I'm going to spend the next week on marketing. Sending out Steam codes to YouTubers and gaming websites, in hopes of getting some pre-launch exposure and hopefully some launch exposure.

A game's launch (even Early Access) is a nerve wracking moment where all the hard work and investment might pay off, or you might find out that you've been delusional. The gaming market is constantly changing, there's a mass of great and horrible games out there for you (and me) to chose from, hopefully at the very least players will be aware of the game to make a choice, versus not even knowing about it.

To go along with the launch here's a new trailer:

YouTube link

As far as what's been going on behind the scenes, here's another dev update vid:

https://youtu.be/FUSGpzvIoG4
YouTube link

To summarize - preparation for Early Access, including tons of polish, bug fixes, issues, and secondary weapons.

I've also prepared a few vids to introduce new and potential players to the project (you guys are most likely already aware of these elements of Void Destroyer 1 and 2):

Early Access "What is Void Destroyer 2 - Explainer"

YouTube link


Early Access "Flight Controls Basics"

Thanks for all of your support - I hope that you guys will be enjoying the game soon.

PS: Any help in the marketing effort is greatly appreciated! :)

  • Missions most needed - bounty hunter and pirate faction.


Hope you check the demo out. Hope you leave some feedback and hope to see you on Early Access.

Paul

PS: If you happen to be able to record and post to YouTube - it would be awesome if you could do that as it woudl help me greatly with the new player experience.

PPS: If not - and you are willing for me to watch you play over Skype screen sharing - that's cool too! Friend me on Steam and we'll go from there.

If you like those ships - and would love to see more of them in Void Destroyer 2 - consider backing the project to get as many awesome ships in as possible. The lowest "get the game" tier is $10 and every buck helps.

Void Destroyer 2 - News Update

Hey guys!



Proud/excited/nervous/anxious to show you the first glimpses at Void Destroyer 2.

Here's the first trailer:


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DDbUKgadJ4M

Here's the second trailer:


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c0oUv47w1EE

Check out the Coming Soon Page on Steam -

http://store.steampowered.com//app/369530

As you can see there's a new art style - I hope you like it - there's a lot of thought behind the scenes put in for the art style, as far as uniqness and viability for an indie project.

I hope you follow and wish list the project - and let a friend (or two!) know about it.

A little bit about Void Destroyer 2:


It is a space sandbox game - and like Void Destroyer it will also combine space combat and RTS elements - up to the player to decide/chose when to use what. But this time in a non-linear environment.

Many of you asked for a sandbox type game set in the Void Destroyer "world" - so I'm happy to oblige. And as an added bonus the two games don't share the exact same genre so Void Destroyer will remain a awesome space combat and RTS mission based game.


Without your support - Void Destroyer 2 wouldn't be possible - the proceeds from Void Destroyer go towards its funding.


Thanks for supporting the project!



Paul
