Looking forward to this. I have more time on my hands now than in the build up to GC3.

My wife is also out horse riding 5 hrs a day, 6 days a week ....... ahhhh hubby's revenge rofl

Great to be on board and thanks for considering me worthy, seriously.  Let's make this game great!

Hello all. 

Pleasure to be here.  

Hey all founders!

To the stars we go!

I'm so excited to be here and join this SC dedicated founders community!

Looking forward to see what will come next in the pipeline! 

Hey all!

Very happy to be here for the new Star Control, there's no game I could possibly look forward to more than this one.

Thanks for having me!  Looking forward to being involved

Doh! Looks like I need to find a different avatar to prevent confusion.

Or I could change mine to a Zoq, but then we'll need someone to be the Pik. 

Hello everybody! I'm glad that I was picked. I read that you have the original composer on the team! Don't know if I'm the only music nut here but I can't wait to hear some sound/music samples! haha

Oh hai, guys I'm Vol (pronounced "Vawl"). I'm 26, my dad was an Accolade employee back in the day (right up until a month or two prior to the release of Slave Zero). Spent at least...2 months out of the year until I was 8 living or sleeping at the studio. I learned to read specifically to read the guides for Star Control 2, and then THAT further expanded my vocabulary. My sidewalk chalk drawings as a child were star control battles. When I was 11, I started making a boardgame using the Deluxe Hyperspace map as my board, fleet maneuvers, planetary combat, 1v1 ship combat around gravity wells . That boardgame was the root of my eventual desire to make games of my own, and here I am less than a year away from completing my degree. I'm currently working on 2 games (and one of them was even successfully pitched ), and I really hope that being a part of the Founder's Program for Star Control can be an asset to my career. Oh yeah, and the whole "ZOMG IT'S A NEW STAR CONTROL!" factor. I'm so grateful for the opportunity to be here and participate!

Yeah, but which one is the Fot?

Seriously though, I'm good with the Dil-rat fleet.

Looking forward to helping out and making this a game for the next 20 years! (Not setting the bar to high am I???)

Ah, introductions. I'm a wannabe game dev and artist with a really weird assortment of professional backgrounds. SC2 was, of course, one of my favorite games growing up, to the point that when I lost the map, I could recall most of the stars for passwords from memory. Was actually a bit of a fluke that I got to play SC2 though, as it was released while South Africa was still under apartheid (there was censorship and outside tech/media only trickled in). Playing the story while thinking about what was going on outside was an interesting experience. Very excited to be here and see where things go, and see if I can help them along. I've had my precursors playlist on repeat since I heard about the survey

Hope everyone has a great weekend!  

I'm a bit surprised that I was picked. Although while I'm a long-time fan of the Star Control-series (I even enjoyed SC3), I'm not quite as die-hard as some of the guys here. I can only assume that the developers want nuanced feedback from a wide variety of fans, which makes a lot of sense. I would do the same thing in their shoes.

I look forward to following the development of this game in 2016.

Hello all! I'm Maogan, and so glad to be here! I grew up playing Super Melee 2 player on the same keyboard as my best friend, and when he was gone, I'd bust out my big folded map of the galaxy, pick a constellation, and go explore the heck out of it!

I'm surprised Vaelzad actually read all those surveys.  And I'm honored in light of that to have been selected. Once I saw the acceptance e-mail and the price to become a founder, I felt it necessary to quote Phillip J Fry,

"Shut up and take my money!"

Thanks for doing so.  As a result, I am now here.  :)  Can't wait to be a part of the next couple years of development!

Hello all! I perhaps should have posted here first myself, I can not over emphasize how I was utterly unable to sleep after getting the email about Starcontrol at something like 3am my time. A deep love for Starcontrol 2 has been a driving factor for me for many years, my friends are sick of telling me to shut up about it whenever the topic veers towards gaming.

Have to admit when I first saw the price to be an elite founder my heart sank, I was going to have to make some very hard decisions regarding things like staying warm, it became an absolute no brainer when the cheaper pack came out though. I'M INVOLVED IN AN EXTREMELY MINOR WAY IN HELPING STARCONTROL HAPPEN! Ahem. Calm now. Look forward to annoying you all with off opinions about what I think makes a fun game! (But hopefully not too much!)

Super happy to be involved. Glad to see some humanoids got in here, and even more glad to see the design doc state that there will be NO HUMANOID ALIENS ALLOWED! Weeee! 

 

No humanoids - meaning no this:  

Reduced 50%

Original 1131 x 707

I'm fine with interspecies romance, but wouldn't it be a lot more interesting with Rachni or Hanar?

Unofficially Thanks for the opportunity to become a member of the next generation of SC!! 

Hello everybody. Glad to see this game coming back!

Hiya erakus!

Have some welcome Karma! I'm stoked for the return myself!
