    If anyone is interested, even if it's just to proofread and give ideas for things, let me know and I''ll start adding people once I'm back from Christmas in early January!

    Until then have a great holiday and a happy new year!

    Ha ha I've found that all you need is an imagination and the willingness to put in some effort.

    If anyone does want to help it can be anything from mission ideas, map crafting, gameplay features, testing, and so and so forth. There are so many things that people can help out with, and so long as people are willing to keep putting in a bit of time every now and then it will slowly take form =]

    I don't want to steal this idea at all, but if anyone would like to help me make a boardgame/D&D style game about this premise then I would love the help. I'll make up some ideas in a google documents, and if you're keen just send me a message with your e-mail and I'll share it with you.

    Yeah it is, but they're half way there now...

    Here are the video games I'm currently backing, or thinking of:

    Paradise Lost (http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1183462809/paradise-lost-first-contact)

    Awesome looking retro style metroid/castlevania cross (not that I ever played those games, or really like most pixel graphics games...)

    Confererate Express (http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/829559023/confederate-express)

    Also retro pixel style, with fun looking gameplay and skill progressions and they really have a handle on the graphics and lighting etc.

    The Mandate (http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1964463742/the-mandate/posts/658822?ref=activity)

    This just looks like fun. Ship vs ship combat as well as tactical engagements (even at the same time!)

    Stasis (http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/bischoff/stasis-2d-isometric-scifi-horror-adventure-game?ref=live)

    2D isometric horror game. Looks awesome, the guy has a really impressive website, and there is a free alpha demo that is really quite good. Could use some hints but I got there eventually

    I'm already a backer, and I hope they get it funded!

    I don't know why it's not garnering more interest, it looks like they've done a lot of work, and they are providing some substantial updates etc.

    Spelling!

    what about the different planets and inhabitants thereof? How do they/their societies function, and how has this helped/hampered relations between them and us?

    NEWS-VERSE

    Bringing you news from the 'verse, to you throughout the 'verse... in verse

    There is a flagship making discoveries,

    with a head scientist who's like John Cleese,

    He's great, pushes boundaries, and has great flair,

    not to mention his wonderful hair!

    They've made new reactors powered by lightning bolts,

    are constantly losing crew who act like dolts,

    but cloning them back cuts down overheads,

    Now the ships entirely crewed by fred's!

    They make cannons that do stuff,

    Like pow, zap and puff,

    Open tears through dimensions,

    and cutting down on pensions.

    Making whales that can't swim

    It's humanities win!

    For we can live inside them,

    And hide from the Zigen! (those bloody vego alien-pricks)

    So come to you local enlistment troll,

    Sign away your life, your property, your soul,

    I wont promise great things, like sights and sounds,

    For if you're unlucky, you first post are the test grounds!

    I'm surprised that no-one has commented on this video of The Bereau.

    Different Video

    I think it looks silly. From what I've seen of the gameplay very little is down to player skill, and most of your time during fights will be taken up telling your squadmates what to do. Wouldn't the game be more fun and reward player skill more if you occasionally use powers and do more shooting yourself (kind of like I play Mass Effect) rather than what seems to be a bit of real time action outside the power menu?

    Furthermore for all their talk of few humans against an overwhelming force of aliens, and permadeath, that squad of three men NEVER fought less than 3 aliens at a time, and never lost a single man...

    I kind of feel the original idea was better (FPS against the black goo enemies)

    EDIT: I was referring to the IGN gameplay video. I assumed they were the same

    How about something that focuses on the aliens and shows their vulnerable side? Something that makes you almost empathize with them.

    I thought you were going to go with something like them writing poetry, or perhaps arranging flowers they have found into a nice vase. Forgetting of course the dead cattle and farmers strewn around them...
