Man up, fans of X-COM! [Xenonauts]

(1/9) > >>

Moonshine Fox:
Xenonauts have been in development for the last 18 months running the pre-order-to-get-alpha scheme. It's been going well so far and the project is now funded enough so that they can finish a functional game. However, there are additional features and art that they'd love to have in the game to make it not only functional but awesome. For this, they've started a Kickstarter project. If you deeply loved the X-Com games of the 90's and have been looking all over for a good remake, this is it. Put your money down and help us make a fantastic nostalgia trip!

Kickstarter page with project explanation and dev talk.

(Please note that all the money from the Kickstarter project is going to straight into making the game better. The game is already funded and slated for release this fall. This money is pure fluff of new mechanics, graphics and UI.)

Oh, yeah, I've seen this. http://www.xcom.com/enemyunknown/ looks more promising though.

I'm sure as heck getting both. They're two very different games, so there's no reason not to. XCOM is a small, action oriented, squad-based TBS with strategy tossed in. Xenonauts is a faithful refurbish of the original.

Old news. Looks like they are just trying out a new revenue stream from kickstarter.

Yeah, he kinda says so in the original post up there that they want to add new features to the game to make it even better.
