Satellite Reign Kickstarter Proposes Syndicate Spiritual Successor

Post by Dan @ 12:16am 29/06/13 | 170 Comments

As recently teased, Brisbane-based indie studio 5 Lives Studios has launched a Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign for Satellite Reign, a strategy game that promises to be very much a spiritual successor to Bullfrog's classic Syndicate games (thanks ivy_mike).

Bullfrog veteran, and creator of Syndicate Wars, Mike Diskett is counted among the five-man team that is comprised of other former Krome Studios devs, and long-standing members of our own AusGamers forums community.

Satellite Reign is a real-time, class-based strategy game. You control a squad of four agents, each with distinct and unique abilities as they vie and battle for control of a fully simulated, living, cyberpunk city.

The game world is designed to facilitate emergent gameplay, giving you the tools and freedom to play how you want to play, so you can create strategies and scenarios that not even we had anticipated!

Customise your team with the strength to destroy your enemies head-on, or hack into their facilities to manipulate their infrastructure without them ever knowing you were even there.

The project is targeting a rather modest GBP£350,000 goal for a complete game, and will be bringing the BAFTA nominated composer of the original Syndicate games if they meet the first stretch goal of £380,000.

The game is in development for PC, Mac and Linux, with a tentative launch target of December 2014.

Watch the pitch video below, and head over to the Kickstarter page to get onboard.

Thing is Toll Kickstarter already has all that info. Its asking me to pick my payment method "Visa XXXXXXX or new card".

I choose my current card (expiry is half way through next year) and hit pledge and a # gets added tot he wb address and nothing else.

Guess I try again tomorrow or another day.

We just finished the 3rd day since going live, we're now at 35% of our goal and #1 on kicktraq.com for today!

Things have really picked up today after posts on joystiq and kotaku among other places. I expect it will slow down pretty soon though, most kickstarters seem to peak early, bottom out for a bit and then pick up again at the end.

It's able to be voted to go on steam.

But yeah it's slowing down now but it had to at some point, most kickstarters seem to get most of their pledges early, then it drops off a heap before coming back up at the end.

But we can't really complain, 4 days in and £140,000 which is 40% of our goal.

They give you guys a shout out, this email went to all backers for Torment: Tides of Numenera, Hopefully it gives you another boost!

First is Satellite Reign, a real-time, class-based cyberpunk strategy game from the creators of Syndicate Wars, and a spiritual sequel to that title. They recently released an engine gameplay visualization to give you a better idea of the game, and are now nearly funded with 5 days to go. Take a look and see if you want to help them get over the hump!

We've seen so many people saying that, but I mean, of course you don't care about localisation, it's already in Englis** The thing is though, Syndicate was really popular in places like Germany and Russia, so ensuring that we can get the game localised for them means there's more potential backers to help hit the meatier stretch-goals, like destruction and co-op.

New update up, localisation stretch goal met and I did a little video showing off some cool tech we've been playing with

Apparently embed code doesn't work anymore, here's the link to the video

if only the next stretch goal was 420k instead of 440k.

Yeah that is a bit disappointing, unlikely to get the next one

If you fall just a little short of destruction, do it anyway!

Also PayPal isn't in the total - how much do you have in PayPal?

So would multiplayer be possible ss dlc or an expansion?

The total is on our website now http://satellitereign.com/pledge/ currently at £ 6461

we will still continue PayPal for a while, so there's still a chance of those later stretch goals. If we didn't reach them but sales of the game were good we'd possibly do multiplayer as an expansion or in the sequel

So what happens if (as seems likely) you fall short by a couple grand of the destruction goal? If £40k bought destruction, can £38.5k buy destruction lite, or does someone just get a nice car? :P

Looks like it should hit at least 440

Well the paypal will be open for a fair while beyond the kickstarter, at a guess until at least the end of the year so there's time to reach it.

14 hrs to go and only needs 9k to reach the stretch goal.

edit: pledged the TECH tier.

Grats on the solid campaign chaps, well deserved success. Should be extra proud having achieved it at a time when several other high profile dev teams have crashed and burned (Jaffe, Dyack etc), and Double Fine's delay threw the whole model into question.

Best of luck on the dev process; looking forward to playing the finished product.

Thanks everyone! We'll be taking a breather for a week or so now (well, other than hunting for office space), but we'll be diving in head-first very soon. Lots to do!

So are we at alpha stage yet?

Link

Midda
Posted 10:53pm 09/8/13

Not even close. Alpha means "feature complete," as in, every feature the game is supposed to have has been implemented. Alpha won't be until next year some time.

Well I can't be sure, we've had multiple people asking us if the alpha will be available soon. You can assume nothing over the internet.

Also, f*** you!

I demand you get an Oculus Rift to try and integrate it into your game, only to quickly find out that it wont work out so well. Then we can all come and visit the office to check out the rift ;D
