Amazing Score and Everything

[merc]

Just found out about this game yesterday and I'm really impressed with the lighting and especially the score. Where did he find his music artist? It's got a Max Richter feel to it which is beautiful for a space game - The 2020 Dev Recap video had the best music period in a game I think I've heard since Homeworld

Just a question for the designer: will 'matches' last a long time? Will it be more of a top/down X series game with trading and exploration or will it be more of a 2 hour RTS match like a Homeworld? I hope the former since this game is too beautiful to be concentrating on micro, which I'm bad at

Looking forward to the Early Access!

Thanks for your kind words!

The composer is Scott Buckley. He's a brilliant artist. He actually has a massive creative commons library that you can use freely for personal or commercial projects. The 2020 Dev recap was actually one such track. Scott however is writing the official soundtrack for Falling Frontier which currently isn't available.

Regarding your question. A game session is expected to last somewhere between 2-40 hours depending on the size of the map. Those numbers will most likely change however that's the a ball park figure for now.

Thanks for the reply! You're both very talented, I've been watching all the content you've put out so far and I'll be purchasing the Early Access. I hope it's successful for you so you can expand more on this project!

2-40 hours sounds great for a procedurally generated skirmish
I had some suggestions too: would it be possible to have ships fire rockets to slow themselves or change direction? Will mining use the 'tractor beam' for each faction or maybe small drones to gather ala the X series. Do you have in mind something more detailed in ship repair and station construction than the lattice fabrication? I feel guilty asking for more detail since you are just one person but again I hope the early access is successful enough so that you can hire more people!

I agree with all of this--Scott Buckley's stuff on Youtube is amazing, excellent selection and perfectly suited for the vibe you are going for.
