The real-world experiences, along with cooperation from NASA and other space organizations will form the backbone of the game, he says. One such cosmonaut, Lazutkin, spent a total of 184 days, 22 hours and seven minutes in space and would go on to play a role in saving the lives of his crewmates and the Mir Space Station after its hull was punched. "Cosmonauts are incredibly qualified when it comes to making space sims," he tells us, "as they are the only ones who have actually been to space." Pervushin would go on to connect the game studio with famed Russian cosmonauts Aleksandr Lazutkin, Sergei Krikalev and Sergei Avdeyev, studio director Maximillian Kovtun tells Polygon. Space sim meets real-time strategy game Space Pioneer, a combination of colony-building strategy gaming and extensive real-world science, is the result of a partnership between Nevada studio Space Enigma Studios and science fiction writer Anton Pervushin, himself a member of the Federation of Cosmonauts. ![]() Real-world, manned space exploration has been all but forgotten since the golden era of the 1960s but a group of Russian cosmonauts and game developers have teamed up to continue its legacy in a digital outlet. ![]() Our kind will not stop at where we are right now - I think that we will continue to expand our reach within the greater cosmos but it will be a long and arduous journey ahead." "Humanity, in the middle of the twentieth century, was able to break free from the shackles of gravity and venture out into space. The fixed goal is $150,000, only $17,500 has been pledged so far."I would like to believe that Astronautics has a large and bright future ahead," says rocket engineer Aleksander Zheleznyakov. The cheapest pledge that includes a copy of the game is $30. Pledges range from $5 for a thank you, to $10,000 for, among other things, a physical copy of the game, a bunch of rare space goods, and a paid trip to the Mars 500 institute. ![]() If we go beyond that then we will announce more platforms under a section that we will entitle stretch goals. If we reach our goal of 150,000 then we will release on Windows and Linux. Quote What platforms can I play o n at launch? The emphasis is put on scientific accuracy (accurate theory, NASA and ESA data used to place stars), as well as freedom and artistic quality. The game will be entirely DRM-Free, with both a single player and a multiplayer mode. There will be some RTS elements involved with colonization, mechanics to control entire fleets, as well as a third person wiew of your spacecraft to directly control it. Set in the 22nd century, the player will be given a spaceship, will be free to explore the universe, colonize planets and make contact with other civilizations. Their goal is to make a game that is educational, fun to play and scientifically accurate. It has been developed in conjunction with a variety of scientists, writers, architects and real world astronauts and cosmonauts. Space Pioneer, by Space Enigma Studios is an ambitious project, in early design phase. I want to talk to you about an other great game project on Kickstarter.
