GAME: New Orbit - Beta

Announcing: NEW ORBIT
An episodic space action adventure (or whatever) based on realistic gravitation simulation.

Join the beta list and play the first 1 1/2 missions right now: http://next.blackish.at - If you don’t want to join the cool beta list: click here to just play the game - but it’s your loss, really! ;]

Edit: Due to popular request: Added direct link and screenshots! (iPhone version pictured - current beta runs in the web-player in 1024x768)

No, I don’t want to join a mail list about a game I have NO info about.
Atleast add some screens or videos or something.

Sign me up!

OR WHATEVER? WOAH! Is that a new genre?

But more seriously, post some more info before you ask anyone to sign up…

Showcase?

yeah like others it could use some more description about the game and maybe some screenshots.
so we know what it is about

Good point - I’ll add some screens later on!
Here’s a short WIP video in iPhone resolution to give you a little glimpse. (The game will be out for iPad, iPhone, PC and Mac.)

My intention was to get a bit of fresh feedback from people who know next to nothing about the game, but I might have been a little too mysterious in my announcement. :slight_smile: These are the first pieces of information going out about the game, expect a lot more sometime soon!

Hey! The art of your site looks great! but yeah, consider even a simple download link is hard to trust without at least providing some screenshots, let alone giving away our email! :wink:

That looks awesome, I can’t wait to play it!

Alright! Due to popular demand I added 2 screenshots to the top!

A bit more info for everyone who’s got strong feelings against mailing lists: My plan is to send out one mail every 1 or 2 months with making-of material and new infos about the game(s) I’m currently working on.

I’m hoping that this will bring “open development” to a more personal level. If you still think this is a bad idea, please let me know why! It’s an experiment and I’m willing to change whatever is necessary to make it work.

(My basic goals: Get the attention of people who might be interested in my games and let them have a look behind the scenes/make them feel like a part of the family, so that they’ll maybe end up telling their friends.)

I have signed up to your email thingy, and played the beta… It is actually a lot of fun…

if i come across any bugs, I will let you know :slight_smile:

Very interesting type of game. I like it! It’s sort of like Spore!

Thanks everyone for the feedback so far! I’m thinking that adding a feedback form to the end of the beta was the right choice to protect my gentle soul, but might have been the wrong approach to find out what people who don’t get and/or like the game think… Then again, how could I get people who close the window before they reached the end to fill out a feedback form?

I’ll add a link to the top so people who don’t want to join my cool beta list can try it as well - but it’s their loss really! :]

Here’s another short WIP video showing OrientationControl at work in NEW ORBIT
