Star Nomad 3?? and a Story?

This game looks great, but will we get a SN3 with a storyline? Thank you

I'm working on a new space epic currently, it's a more dynamic universe, like an offline Eve + Star Nomad 2 + Star Sector mix.

My recent focus on a storyline + open world type game was released earlier this year:

Thank you. I was hoping for the likes of SN gamestyle.

Any plans to return to space RPGs? Felt like Star Nomad 2 was enjoyable and had a lot of potential with some further refinement of ideas, systems, layouts, etc. Good base, with huge room to be something special.

I'm returning to a space RPG right now, its in the works. More epic, corporation management, trade fleets, manufacturing, and player faction warfare. I've just been busy doing odd side jobs for money so gamedev is slow. Hopefully situation improves for me in a few months so I can full time focus on gamedev again.

If you enjoyed SN2, drop a quick review. I'm close to a 70% rating. Been at 69% for so long! haha

Hmmm, do you have any info pages on the proj or current work state? (screenshots etc?) Sounds cool. Sounds like Starsector as far as added depth. Can you own planets and stations?

I'm aiming for some of the depth of Eve Online (I was an avid player back in the 2000s).

I don't have any graphics until its nearly done, as I work with code and my sprites are just dots/squares as they await replacement with artist commissioned sprites towards the finish polish phase.
