Actually had the pleasure of a chat with Mr. Braben on more than one occassion and he's always said that he wanted a single player game with multiplayer elements to lead to a full blown mmo. The hold-up, according to him, has never been cash per se. Its been technology. Broadband proliferation and the relative stagnation of console hardware has created a nice little plateau for innovation and ambitious ideas to actually see the light of day in developmental terms, before they are effectively 'too old for school' on release.
I can't think of many games that will have been mulled and mulled and mulled over and over in a very smart man's mind for 15+ years. But this one is certainly going to benefit from years of carefully weighed ideas. |

Did he metion EVE at all? What he thinks of it?
I was concearned in the pitch that he doesnt even seem aware of the last 10 years of space MMO development.
He seemed dead excited when he said "It's going to be MULTIPLAYER!" - Like he'd just come up with a new concept.
It didnt sound like he's looking to do an Elite MMO at all.

Wait...he pronounces "Lave" like "Lathe"? Man, I always had that down as "Larvae" - because it was the birthing place of the pilot and where the pilot changes into something new and different.

This was before Eve. I don't think its appropriate to comment on a ten year old conversation in relation to a new project tbh. Wouldn't be fair. Here's how he's thinking tho: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=iTBvpd3_Vqk
You can see the benefit of a bloody good education in this sort of stuff. |

OK cheers anyway.
I am concerned though. - I've pledged. But in this new vid as well, there isnt any indication of "This is how we'll stand out from the rest". He gives the impression he thinks it's a new original idea. And 'procedural generation' alone, does not a good space MMO make. I hope I'm very wrong. ti'n siarad Cymraeg? |

We'll just have to wait and see. It seems to be an unfortunate time to launch a kickstarter, leading in to and covering the christmas period.
I think I'd like the multiplayer to be along the line of dayz private hive setups. That'd be ace. |

Elite Dangerous Dev Diary 1 was just released and it shows some multiplayer action inside an asteroid field. Just got to say that it already looks freaking amazing! And the things Braben mentions during the video are making me even happier. |

Yup, its creaking along towards the target. Can they double their money in the most spendy month of the year tho?
On a side note, has anyone considered spending 5k or so making an amazing tech demo and some concept art then running off with the half a mill idiots give you on kickstarter with no conditions? |

I do hope your not for real....but if your not I think you will find its the other way round
And WHY kickstarter....well look at the stuff thats made these days.... publishing houses have got so risk adverse. David Baden feels this game would not get a look in....just like when he made the first elite.... shock no 3 lives no high score it was a sandbox game before the genre was even thought of......but heres the big kicker of elite.... fly your shinny ships by wire...none of this point and click...a real dog fight.

PVP is planned for the new game remember back in 1984 the internet was a long way off from coming to peoples homes. |

Anyone who loves space games - and I am assuming thats all of us - REALLY ought to make a pledge and get this game made. Braben is the Grandfather of space games and without him I really don't think EvE would be here.
So, spare a few dollars, rubles or pounds and lets get this game funded. My missus thinks of EvE as 'the other woman'. :) |

I think CCP have said it was their primary influence.
So many space games coming out now i can't possibly fund them all. But i'm looking forward to seeing what all the competition brings out.

Needless to say, I am not sure if I want to support the kickstarter when people are being laid off. Allow me to be frank. You will not like me. You will not like me now, and you will not like men++ a good deal less as we go on. |

Then you'd be wasting your money, I met him a few years back. Was left rather unimpressed with his arrogance, not to mention his complete ignorance of what it would take to make this a reality the way he wants it to be.
Sorry but 850 grand just isn't going to cut it for this kind of project and neither is 1 and a quarter mil.

I really, really hope E:D and SC will be great games that will seriously threaten to take big chunks of EVEs playerbase.
It's the only way CCP will get off their butts and actually add something to EVE for a change.

6 days to go and about -ú200K still needed for the main goal.
Elite will be very different to Eve:
Eve only has about 5000 start systems and is multiplayer only.
Elite will have BILLIONS of star systems (via procedural generation) and players can alternate between the following modes: Single player Multiplayer locked to just people you choose Multiplayer open to all players Pledge via Kickstarter: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1461411552/elite-dangerous Plenty of -ú20 pledge slots available, which gets you a digital copy of the game on release.

Pledged 20 quid on this myself. Wonder if it'll make the deadline.
On a related tangent, there's a 'sort of' freeware procedural generation thing being developed, though there's no game attached: en.spaceengine.org . It can generate a couple billion galaxies, each containing 100+ billion stars and almost every star having planets, moons and asteroids with surfaces you can approach... The todo list for that thing is pretty ambitious but exploring it as it is is pretty enjoyable aswell. I wonder if Elite can improve on this. |

Billions of star systems, most with no function whatsoever.
Are you able to use the same character and jump between multiplayer and single player? If yes, that's bad game design.
