Thank you so much for creating a 35-minute review of our video game! We watched your video with great excitement and really enjoyed the content you presented.
We are grateful for introducing SpaceBourne 2 to your followers! You rock👊
No man. YOU ROCK. this is quite the achievement already. Bravo Sir.
the GOAT himself has spoken!
by the way this is not just an introduction, he already played it a year ago
This looks great, but is there an easy difficulty setting? I mean _very_ easy?
Please, please, PLEASE, have a look at i-war 2 edge of chaos. You will understand why i asked. That are some game mechanics that would be perfect here.
@@ohnoitisnt666 No... you
Just to clarify, it isn't a game built solely by one person. It's one guy and then a load of volunteers.
Not discrediting Dabak but he's not the sole developer of the game by any means. He's gotten a tremendous amount of help and we should be giving them credit as well.
That makes more sense. I'm looking at that and thinking, "No one man could build all this."
Consider the evocron series which is mostly by a single developer@@UrsahSolar
I hope he does a kickstarter and get those volunteers hired and reimbursed for the part they've had. The game looks incredible, he and his volunteers can be proud.
@@DeltaNovum That happens a lot with indie games. The volunteers are often passionate, and if it's a successful release, they get a fraction of that well-deserved financial reward. But even if it's a flop, they already achieved what they strive for.
@@ZeroXSEED I haven't heard about anyone being compensated whatsoever. That may have changed but when I was going to be assisting with audio design and found I wouldn't be compensated at all I declined to take part.
I know of a few others as well that did but were also never compensated. One would hope this stuff was discussed prior to the work but I'm unsure of the details on that. The only one I know is compensated is the CM.
One of those rare titles that totally deserve being called a hidden gem.
just remember to get the weight of the bag of sand right when you steal the gem
After playing through a little bit of the game I realised you don't have to travel in atmo to get to a certain place on a planet. Open warp drive (navigation) 'default B' when near the planet and it'll show you all the places you can fast travel to on the planet, however you have to be outside of atmo (in space) to do this. Hope this helps :D
Had to look and see if someone else was going to show him the atmosphere nav shortcut lol
@@luxinveritate3365 x3. There is a learning curve for some parts of the game like navigation and fitting out the ship, but once you know, you know. 😊
Might be time for another playthrough. The good and bad of the updates is that it can break old saves, but that is because so much new stuff has come in, and/ or the UI got tidyed up IMO. 😊
@@D64nz me too, have been thinking of starting it up again.
Jesus christ… that’s Space Bourne 2
Making me spit up soda with such a perfect joke.
Extreme ways in queue*
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!
Now I gotta go watch that movie again. Thanks. Haha.
Dang it! I was gonna make that joke :(
Anyone remember Privateer? Im 40 what can i say it was a early game 90's. Man that takes me back all these games are based off that original title.
I do
I'm still have it on cd next to my computer.. I never found the joy that game gave me heh..
Sure do!
I remember Privateer 2 had some weird cutscenes. Solid gameplay in both though.
I played Privateer: the end-game boss ship was a royal pain in the a** ... so much shielding and Panzer tank armour. I never played Privateer 2 because of the poor reviews ( the cut scenes on RUclips, with Clive Owen, look funny and cheesey ).
I think he has hired some guys to help him now (not 100% sure), so he is not working alone anymore. As it gained traction he hired some guys. This game is amazing and has so much potential. There is so much to do in this game it never gets boring
So glad he got some help. We might have a fully finished game in 5 years lol.
This indie title did what Starfield could not. Immersive loading screens, horisantal jetpack for planet exploration, space combat that matters. Come on Todd!
I love starfield but I 100% agree with you
The engine Bethesda uses belongs in a museum.
@@R3GARnator as a Bethesda fan this is also facts 😂
@@R3GARnator I heard that in Indiana Jones' voice.
@@R3GARnator no, you can do planet to planet in real time, it just a console command that works similar to removing the world boundary in Skyrim or Oblivion - also, you can, if you do it a certain way, reduce the rest or get rid of them - its an engine issue, it was a design choice.
This game is insane. I've sunk 65hrs into it and it's beyond fun.
Fair warning: This game has extremely complicated mechanics for things that should be extremely simple. I sometimes find the single most frustrating part to playing this to be the process of attempting to get from point A to Point B. Quests often tell you to do things that the game has in no way, shape, or form explained to you how to do. The tutorials are hit and miss at best. One example of a tutorial was a three step process in which the game tells me exactly which buttons to hit in order to execute steps 1 and 2, and then for Step 3 it just tells me to "Press the Step 3 hotkey". What's the step 3 hotkey? If I ever figure that out i'll be happy to come back here and tell you.
Sounds like good feedback for the developer.
@@R3GARnator Oh he's gotten that feedback on the forums PLENTY. lol. At this rate it's probably a couple more years away from being addressed. But we'll see. In fairness it is a one-man operation so that inclines me toward more patience and tolerance than i'd ever give the likes of Bethesda. I feel like there really is a great game here, just BEGGING to be let off the leash...but it's got a long way to go before it gets there. If it ever does.
I've watched some let's play of it. Does look a little daunting to dive into
no i can't disagree with you more. this game is so very accessible compared to others. there's a good tutorial and if you follow it, its so rewarding. nothing difficult abt this game
@@Propellerkyylik Please don't misunderstand me. I LIKE the game. I want it to succeed. But i continue to run into roadblocks. Enough that I wish there could just be a simplified version of the game. Gimme a proper quick travel at least. The whole process of flying to a warp gate, plotting a route, requesting permission. making sure you fly within the lines as you pass through the gate and then gaving to make MULTIPLE jumps, getting a 3 second scan at each effing waypoint and then when you FINALLY arrive you have to find whatever planet or station you're looking for and then on top of everything up to that point you must now find your landing point, deploy your landing gear and manually land....
That. Ish. Is. Pure. Torture.
That's how convoluted it gets when the game is being played right.
Imagine how ugly it gets when you DON'T know a step in the process. And I think I myself just missed a couple of steps in that little outline.
I like the game. I wouldn't even bother complaining about it if I wasn't so frustrated at how great I feel like it COULD be, if it wasn't so obsessed with making me micromanage what SHOULD be the most simple thing in a videogame....moving from Point A to Point B.
I got this game the first time you covered it. And I've been watching with joy as the developer slowly posts updates and makes the game better and better.
How is it currently? Still jank as all heck?
@@wrongthinker843 Yes. But it's getting better with each update usually. From what I've been reading on steam all of the most recent updates have been purely bug fixing. So thats encouraging.
@@wrongthinker843I rather have jank than a incomplete cash grab....
I never buy early access games on principle, but wishlisted this the moment I saw it. I'll check reviews at the time of release.
@@R3GARnator $19.99 vs SEVENTY FREAKIN' dollars... Highway robbery by "mainstream publishers". This guy already earned twenty bucks worth of fun by my estimation.
Hot dam Splatt, how'd I miss this one it's exactly my jam. I always trust you to make sure I don't miss any great indies mate!
Ziggy d in the house
One mans jank is another mans charm
The first space bourne was rough but it had soul. You could tell there was some good ideas but his technical skill just wasnt there yet. Im very excited for the finished version of Space Bourne 2
well now I am not the only person screaming from the mountains for people to give Spacebourne II a try.
This feels like a cross between No Man's Sky, and Escape Velocity.
I've played this one since Splat's last visit. Splat's complaints are already addressed a few versions ago. You can see all the locations on a planet with the right button, Splat gonna Splat and not read, it's fine. Mind, worlds are not true worlds. You will not find varying biomes on the same planet. It's a flat plane that loops in on itself, which will remain the same biome, but you will find random encounters between the settlements.
All that said, it's pretty good, but still has a ways to go. I'd say it is worth the early-access price, if you're comfortable with a janky experience. The combat is fine, both space and ground. If you look closely, it's obvious how much work remains to be done, and there is not a lot of variety between the settlements, stations and biomes. About a handful for all of them and no individual visual variation beyond random encounters. But again, I got my money's worth.
Once again ONE passionate person embarrasses the "big" corpos. I put this game on my watchlist.
SpaceBourne doesn’t seek to be something like Starfield; Starfield seeks to be something like SpaceBourne.
You may have previewed this before and it made me buy SpaceBourne 1 a while back. Honestly didn’t play it that much but what I did see was impressive and I’m happy just to support this phenomenal piece of solo work.
Imagine what this game would be with 1/10th of 1% of what was poured into Starfield.
well said
You CAN pick specific locations on a planet to land. You have to press the B key to bring them up and then warp down. And no, the game doesn't explain that because like I said in my previous comment this game is FILLED with highly complex multi-step processes that the tutorials never even hint at. I learned how to pick landing locations on the forums. lol
THANKY for the tip!
o7
Peaceful Skies.
Wait.... What? Fuck. I didn't have to spend 40 minutes flying in completely shit weather to get to my quest marker?
It does explain this the first time yo go to a planet. I got the tutorial pop up telling me to hit B. You probably missed it.
Splattercat: Collects bounties after each space combat.
Also Splattercat: Has yet to join the Bounty Hunters Guild.
Not sure if the criminal/pods are related to the Bounty guild, but still find it funny that you can technically collect bounties without ever joining the guild. lol
I kind of assume that joining provides benefits, not enables you to collect. How else are they going to know you can do the job?
Why would you need to join the guild to collect bounties, lol. Why does the bounty hunter guild even exist, lol. They're not the ones issuing the bounties and the merc office should cover all merc activities anyway. Not to mention taking a whopping 25% cut of bounties for nothing. Wow. If this setting was for real, the place must be quite fucked up in interesting ways.
Many stations have a bounty terminal to "sell" captured pilots off to. The BH guild just gives you missions to go hunt down specific individuals.
@@steelwasp9375 Now if they had special gear and say discounts on higher tiers of gear made for bounty work would be helpful. Maybe a future aspect to be added.
@@enriquehirshfeltikov2395yeah, bounty hunting missions are their own thing and good income. Think of private contacts on people.
Selling wanted pilots is more like arrests for the police, so it's a different thing. Any ship you kill in any mission has a chance to leave a pod behind and/or scrap. 😊
Edit: also your pilot stats affect your drop chances, and chances of rare. A lot of good gear and weapons comes from these drops, like Diablo style games. Drops seem to happen around your current level so they are always worth checking.
Star Citizen: We gonna make that massive proc-genned spaceship sim and it will take us a decade and billion dollars
This guy: Hold my beer
More than a decade 😂
😂YES Amazing, this should be top comment.
Star Citizen isn't a game, it is a storefront...
Star Citizen is an investor scheme. If they released, they'd lose their cash cow.
To be fair, Star Citizen was always designed to be a scam.
I bet Chris Roberts is surprised people are still buying ships.
"Freedom isn't free; it costs space terrorism." 🤣
Mount & Blade in space sounds like a great premise!
That is indeed what this is. You actually have landing armies. Whether or not you see the field battles, I'm not sure. I've just been keeping an eye on dev for this for some time.
problem is horses do not fare well in vaccums.
@@vforwombat9915 Well seeing how Mount&Blade horses can climb 85° cliffs and stay unter water for an unlimited time without dying, I don't think the vacuum of space will be any problem. Lube them up with butter and they are good to go for atmospheric reentry.
@@vforwombat9915 Silly goose, you don't use land horses in the vacuum of space, you use space horses!
Been playing this for a while off and on. This man is working his A$$ off and continues to improve it.
Hey Splatter. You can show waypoints on the planet, and lock on to the waypoint of your mission, and warp to that waypoint. That puts you right on top of the planet mission.
Haven't touched this in maybe 6-8 months and almost completely forgot about it. Such a treat
Tip, to locate a planet you can search for the number instead of trying to find the planet manually.
Comparing Spacebourne 2 to Starfield, lol. Spacebourne 2 trumps Starfield hands down.
That is indeed impressive for a single person to program all this.
You don't usually even have to request to dock. Just drop your landing gear and you will be able to land.
Nice that you give the game some spotlight, got it some time back and love it as a Privateer and Freelancer Player back in the day
You CAN pick where you drop into on a planet. Hit B at the planet and you'll see all the locations, you can MMB on one to lock on and warp to it.
I found this game at some point, and then immediately put 40h or so into it in the first 3 weeks. Its good fun, some of the mechanics and stuff needs work but the potential is INSANE.
I've only ever made it to the start of the mid game twice of times and that's easily a good 30 hours. It's what I think is missing from elite dangerous, the ability to form a huge organisation. The pilot hierarchies are pretty straightforward and their income from privateering helps until you start taking over stations and can really start to expand.
You can go to any faction hanger in main systems and upgrade your ship...level, add equipment slots, and even paint it. However, it does cost quite a bit so go with cash. The ring station you landed at is a faction hanger; up top that you passed by is where you upgrade/paint your ship.
I had Spacebourne on my wishlist but not this one... Damn, I'm dumb.
This is exactly my type of game. Thanks for the coverage, Splat.
This ones still in the wish list from the last couple times you've covered it.
I find it amazing, like you, that this is a single mans work and he just keeps plugging along.
One day this will be a great or at least good game because as you used to say it has the bones.
Take care and God Bless...
Kind of like No Man's Sky. Pretty damn cool, especially for being made by one guy.
big props for bringing attention to smaller games, need channels like this in this day and age
A piece of cheesy advice. Take missions with highest difficulty possible. You will always be able to score a kill or two, even if you won't be able to beat the mission. But the price tag on high level stuff you collect if far greater than the pay and entire loot from low level mission. As level 10 pilot, do a 2-3 level 30 mission, make a kill or two, gather loot and dust off and you secured founding for your future empire :)
But muh poor ship!
Quick tip: Don't take missions much over your level. Dudes over your level will decimate you. This includes weapon/shields/equipment level; If your weapons are lower than your target, your going to struggle so keep it going.
This game reminded me of Evochron Legacy, another awesome game that I had somehow completely forgotten about.
So I've heard this guy has a team now! People helping him out with this passion project to really make it into something. For twenty bucks, that sounds like a fun ground floor to get in on!
That ship looks so cool. Reminds me of a Snow Speeder from SW.
7:09 Phil Collins on Space TV.. nice.
1 guy? .... 1 guy?!?!? Bethesda WTAF is your excuse???!?
200 people plus 40 studios they hired to assist and 200 million budget.
LOL. And the stupid star citizen too
This seems to be made in unreal not a 50 year old engine and he didn't shipped modelling to some indian sweatshop
@@ForumBlackwolfdave If game development were a battlefield, Bethesda would be heading to the trenches with a bow & arrow.
Don’t you want 16x the detail?
Take a sip of whiskey every time Splatter says "wearing all of the hats!"
you can scan the planet for dungeons, mines and villiges before you go to the surface.
This DOES look amazing, incredible project, hope it gets funding and a proper team, this is such a promising game
I swear he said "welcome to the world of Indie gangs" I Tim Allen'd for a sec.
When you enter atmosphere, you can choose where you go... So you don't need to do that long haul
wait what? it always locks steering and sh*t so I can't do anything and always wait for that haul to end XD
@@WojDestroyer I don't remember exactly, played last time a year ago. But there's a key you press and it shows points of interest before you descend into the planet's atmosphere. So you can lock into that. Same as wrapping if I remember correctly
B button
@@robertc.5558u mean on keyboard or that weird sh*t called "controller"?
Epic vid! Been watchin for long time on the fam chan, great stuff bro! Game looks pretty damn fun!
Awesome vid as always. I saw a game just a little while ago, as far as I know there is no beta or demo out yet, I would recommend keeping an eye out for Beta Decay. The premise looks really cool, hopefully not a rug pull.
:) i have this game since alpha , o boy this dev is insane
i love these projects i bought spacebourne 1 and 2 and so havent havent played them but i love that this guy is building this game. I genuinly can't wait for a closeer to release version to give it a go.
so happy to see this game get some recognition its so good for a game made by one guy. Heads up though he updates it frequently so be ready to restart your game alot.
At timestamp 7:51, I believe it is possible to press the warp key (default is "B") to view all of the locations on a planet and lock on to the one you want...
Finally you did it!!!!
Been waiting for you to review this!
He has an older video on this game too.
thanks for covering this.
I'm really excited to see this game in a couple more years of development. Especially when it comes to the ground combat and way assets are applied
Ground combat is usually fairly easy if you keep your weapons up to date. Your squad and you can usually take care of most threats.
Usually the hardest mission is the underground mech fight. 😊
@@D64nz oh I meant like art assets. Last time I played there was very much difference between weapons look wise and sometimes the looks did not match the behavior of the weapon.
a single guy will finish a game this scale before Star Citizen enters a beta state.
got this game a year ago. make me want to plau it again !
lol that random shoting at the end
This is an amazing title, though I put it down for a couple months and forgot how to play it so I gotta start it over lol. It has some pretty steady updates, the creator has allot of passion and he's made a great game imo.
Thanks for the video! I bought this a few months ago when it was on sale to support the developer - hopefully i'll have time to play it (and its further along in its development lol)
I like the job you done man! all the best!!
Love your videos! Keep up!
This seems so cool!
i'm always impressed with one man projects. pure passion projects while not always amazing it is nice to see what they can accomplished.
I bought this game when it came out and played it for 10ish hours give or take. Back then it was SO FUN!! but yes very janky. I am so glad I own it. And I do fire it up from time to time to check on the progress, but I want to wait to dive in fully till it has more time to cook. And I can't wait. This game is amazing.
For one guy this is amazing.
Starfield wishes it was a sci-fi rpg space game.
It's a Skyrim mod
@@King-O-Hell Poorly implemented mod....
@@phlogistanjones2722 You're telling me! I put down 70$ on it
I can verify; I've had it since it released and played the first one. The dude is doing great work and it's a great game. I'll lay back into it every 4-6 months and try the new stuff; my main problem is my OCD lol. My current game I've took oveer so many systems that I basically have infinite cash but my ocd has made me max every system with maxed out stations.
wow good to see Spacebourne 2 getting some love I bought this game at launch
Picked this up a while back just as a show of support for projects like this, have not spent too much time in it but I hope it ends up one of those long term passion projects like Starsector or Dwarf Fortress that just continually expands and improves into something amazing.
😮😮😮 Wow.. This actually looks amazing
Forget Privateer. Does anyone remember Battlecruiser 3000AD? That's what came to mind as soon as he mentioned jumping out of your craft at any time, and land battles.
This game is probably bigger than X4.
Spacebourne 2(single player version of Elite Dangerous) - Reminds me of Space Isekai Manga where you are isekai'd to pilot a powerful spaceship.
I literally just reinstalled this! Good timing Splatt.
Wasn't Evochron series made by 1 lad too? I think it had planet surface generation too. Always nice to see dev teams of one person, or that you can count on your hand, putting AAA's to shame.
I would say Derek Smart and Battlecruiser etc qualifies as 1 guy pushing an idea like this. It is ridiculously detailed with Universal Combat, but no matter what he won't get rid of the mysterious boarding parties from nowhere...
from Chesty to Kanoodle. Those are some A+ names right there
I wouldn't want to invest so much time into such a thing if i couldn't, at least, take a friend with me along for the ride.
Kind of like Hard War, for those that are old enough to remember that game. I remember sinking 100s of hours into that game. Haven't seen a game like it since.
Game by one guy puting entire Starfield into the corner. Nice.
I love everything about this
There 100% used to be a way to pick a landing spot on planets. You pull up a HUD and it marks locations. It's been a while since I played...So unless the took it out in a patch...you can land in any number of locations marked as Junkyard or mining camp...etc.
LOOKS DOPE!
There is a way to sense the areas on a planet, but i can't remember the button... but it's their "trust me bro" also loved space bourn and bout this as soon as i could jank and all
Looks cool, I've had this for a while, haven't played yet, will have too.
Reminds me of the game im making....minus the zombies....with Satisfactory mixed in on a Galactic scale. Looks like they've done really well so far!!
i already owned this game but it surprises me that this was all one person
i absolutely love this game, i bought this game and im waiting for more updates before i play it through
damn! this looks good!
This looks amazing. I love games that try to give you the space sim experience like Elite: Dangerous. This looks like a more arcadey version of that. I saw that some sort of trading system is in, and I love games that let you become a trader. The only obvious things I see that are missing are mining and scavenging. Maybe those just didn't get presented in the video? Either way, this looks damn compelling!
Mining is, for certain. Not sure about scavenging. You might need some specialized equipment and certain type of ship. I saw in the video that there was debris left behind by the pirate ships. Stuff that looked like it could be interactable.
There's mining (and a mining guild that sells a dedicated mining rig), and some scavenging of parts from wrecks. Going out to hollow out asteroids is slow and a bit repetitive, but it's there.
AAA giants? There hasn't been a AAA giant in years.
yup, only quadruple AAAA here like Skull n Bones!!
@@AngryJesus1 Shiver me timbers! I still get the shivers just thinking about that fiasco
Giant? Sure, but not in achievement, only in the scale of their failures.
Wasn't Baldurs Gate 3 considered to be the last AAA game that was released.
@@robdielemans9189 Last time I checked BG3 is not a space sim though.
If you activate your warp drive outside a planet, you can lock onto where on the planet you want to go to get there directly.
7:46 Its been a few months since Ive played but I just want to say that you can do something like this.. Press V or whatever key it is to use your "FSD or Jump Engine" and you will see a bunch of locations pop up on the planet that you can land at. Im not sure if it requires something special for the ship to able to access this or not? As I said its been a few months since Ive played but I remember you can see a bunch of cities and POIs from space using that feature. I believe its the V key by default.
Had this game since day 1 of Early Access and this game is one of those games that is "Janky, but so so good!" - Love space gaming, get this game!
if you press the map button (I don't remember the key) staring at the planet from space, all locations are shown and you can lock to the specific one you are searching for and jump right on top of it.
0:00 The first scene looks like Freelancer
Maaan, I miss that old game. 👀
