If you liked Homeworld and Freespace.. Void Destroyer and Void Destroyer 2.

I mostly lurk, but wanted to spread a bit of love for a independent game I enjoyed that has a Kickstarter going for a follow up.

Void Destroyer on Steam

Short description - Take Homeworld, but also be able to jump into any of the units and fly it like Freespace. It has a kind of odd cellshaded feel. It takes a while to get used to the controls, though they are a lot tighter now than they were when it released.

Anyone else here play it? I happend to see that there is a Kickstarter about to end for a follow up:

Looks like it may not make it, as it's in the last 3 days.

Anyway, I was cleaning out my Steam Game drive and got sucked back into Void Destroyer. That lead me to being sad none of my friends had heard of it.. and then finding the Kickstarter for the second game. I hate to see things die on the vine and thought I would spread the word a bit about it. I found it fun, though the controls take a while to get into.

I've got like 1200 hours on X3 and like 10gigs of mods. I love the idea but that cellshading is a bit much.

The Cell shaded look grew on me in Void Destroyer. Though I will admit the new one looks REALLY bright - reminding me of arcade games like Virtual-on or Oni (old Bungie game). I'm hoping he will put a stronger shader or something into it during development.
