Will it be free when you've finished it?

Hi Paul,I do eventually plan to sell it for around $10 US but that is a long way off as I work fulltime and have a family so I work on this in my spare time.Anyone that actively provides feedback on an ongoing basis, lets me know of problems they have will receive a free copy though. They will have access to regular builds.
Ok cool. Just don't want the thread to get reported as spamming.
Hey there, The game looks great! I'd like to try it out when you have it finished. What are the objectives in the game? Does the player just do cargo delivery between the lunar bases?
Well you definitely have my interest. I played a demo last summer called "Moonbase Alpha", it was a free download off of Steam. It was only about 20 mins long, but having a semi-accurate moon simulation was very appealing to me. I played it a good couple weeks, and that's for a short demo. So this kind of game is in my alley. Maybe you should release a demo and let some folks test it out, that way you can iron out any bugs and make sure your core gameplay works. Also, will the final version have multiplayer? It'd be kinda cool having multiple lunar craft flying around.
Welcome to the site's forum Sean. Looks very cool (apart from the landing )Quote from: Paul Howard on 02/16/2011 11:44 pmOk cool. Just don't want the thread to get reported as spamming.No, it's ok. Spammers hit and run with "buy this!" and vanish. Sean's asking for help develop it.Plus, our simulator partners like SSM2007 http://www.space-shuttle-mission.com/ may be interested on several levels, so it's all good.

Good to hear, I still need to get MBA and try it out, it would be good reference material since its funded by NASA.As I mentioned above, if you would like to be able to try out the latest version and provide feedback, shoot me an email at: [email protected]Re: Multiplayer, I have no plans to add multiplayer.

I'll still play it and probably enjoy it single player, but I do suggest making multiplayer at some point. I think there would be a bigger market for it. However, it would be much more complex to program that in, I think. We'll see.But yeah, I am a fan of this semi-new genre of space simulations. I'll send you an email shortly and I look forward to helping test this game!
Fun and adrenaline aside, the importance of what you're doing cannot be overstated. It is up to motivated common persons, imparting momentum to other common persons, to cause temperature to increase at ground level. LCROSS / Cabeus crater results contain a printed non-trivial value for gold spectra in the vapor plume. Oops I let that slip.
