Stardock owns Star Control and is planning an "XCOM-like" reboot

Bard’s Tale IV AND Star Control: Origins both releasing next week?

In today’s dev journal, Brad talks about the game’s critters and how they’ve evolved over time. :)

when I was a kid, the response was always “yes, get out.”

Brad wrote a pre-mortem dev diary for Star Control: Origins. :)

So I played the first chapter, and it was fun! Can’t wait for the full game!

Combat holds up?

I’ve only had access to the earth ship, which I’ve never been a fan of, and this game captures why I’m not a fan of it, so…it does a good job so far?

Cool! Only two more days!!!

I think you can try out Fleet Battles in that build. I think. ? So you can see the other ships.

Ohhh, I’ve not tried that yet, I just did the story stuff so far. Good call!

fwiw, there are some really fun ships imho (and yes, the Earthling cruiser is the most boring, imho)

@Brad_Wardell what is the install size likely to be?

I’m not Brad, but the store page says 26GB.

It is roughly 26 gigs, at least the version I was able to download.

Size when installed.

Yea, I think…it’s something like 10GB when downloading, give or take.

Tomorrow!

English, French and German looking good.

Russian, Chinese and Spanish are probably going to be delayed a day.

Finnish, Norwegian, Portuguese, and a few others should be ready by Monday.

I’m tempted to take tomorrow off from work, but I keep reminding myself I need to pay my electric bill in order to play my games.

You know @Brad_Wardell, if the game is good to go no one will be mad if you go ahead and release right now. ;)

I second the motion!
