Chris Roberts' vacation fund has reached a new milestone. soypoint-2

so-true With your help we can get this up to 1 billion, which will ensure that Chris gets to visit more places and can enjoy more of the local cuisine. Oh, yeah, and it helps the game get finished sooner, of course.

In other news, they finally reworked the game's UI after 12 years of R&D, and it now looks worse than it did before. Progress. soypoint-1

What I hate about this is how cliche the premise is. Why couldn’t they make it into a cowboy bebop-type jazzy dystopian hell instead of an annoying ultra serious MUH MEGACORPORATIONS!! dystopian hell

There are two key reasons:

Something like Cowboy Bebop would require a lot of effort to make every area unique and characterful, while making things generic will be easier to copy-paste.
Tech bros are libertarians.

Also IIRC it's supposed to be more "muh spacerome", which is probably worse.

Rebel Galaxy is the closest you're gonna get.

Damn that was a great game but short, pity that second game took a giant dump over that.

Outlaw Star would be so cool for a game but anglos wouldn't like it because of the heavy chinese influence in the aesthetic.

You mean the popular Japenese anime that aired on Toonami, the same network space that carried Cowboy Bebop?

And also had some bewb scenes that managed to escape the UK censors.

Sorry...
