Pulsar: Lost colony v.Icarus in Space

PULSAR is a cooperative starship simulator that takes you and your crew to the farthest corners of the universe on a mission to find the mysterious Lost Colony. It features a procedural galaxy generator so every journey will be unique and contain new challenges for you and your crew.

The game has been designed from the ground up to provide an amazing cooperative multiplayer experience (up to five players), although it is entirely possible to play offline with bots as your crew.


I've been following the development of this game for a bit now and I must say it becomes more interesting with every update these devs put out there. It's a game I think many GoIO players might enjoy since it delivers part of the team-play we love about Icarus. It's supposed to be a sci-fy coop based game in space. It get's often referred to as a Fps FTL (although I've never played that game). It's in its very early stages of development but I'm sure these Indy devs deserve a little attention as I feel the potential of this game is great. Also it shows some stuff that I'd love to see in AM of Icarus.

Very interesting. Reminds me of that Gmod mod someone put up a while ago. But with actual moving ships and all that, I'm intrigued.

This...this might divide my time if it actually becomes a decent game.
I think Guns has enough steampunk charm to keep me on a leash though.

Has anyone taken a look at/played Artemis Bridge Simulator?
My only problem with it is that it takes being in the same room to play effectively (for maximum fun at least, you need a set).

Now that would be fun at LAN parties. Can't believe I've never even glanced at the idea of something similar.

Played it with some friends over the net, it's still pretty fun, you just need a voice chat and people that know how it works :P

But this looks even better and I want it.
