Forums - Sony - Rogue Raiders Online (Vita) - co-op sci-fi action RPG, now on Kickstarter

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/saffron/rogue-raiders-online-action-rpg-4-player-co-op-for

A project close to my heart (obviously) because of the platform :p

Been following this for a while, finally the Kickstarter is up and running.  Here's the description:

Rogue Raiders Online said:

You start creating and customizing your own raider, choosing between several alien races and classes, each one with unique stats and traits that may dramatically affect your gameplay.

Then you will be sent to a near space station which serves as a central hub for players to find each other, purchase better equipment, sell valuables, etc.

There will be job boards, which list available quests for you or your team. After assembling a crew, you will travel to a planet to do the job.

Planets will be handmade, no procedural or random planets that end up looking all up the same.

Like any other RPG, Rogue Raiders is filled with quests or jobs for you and your team to do.

The jobs you can get will vary depending on your raider cred, your reputation with the three main factions, among other things.

They are varied and can involve tasks like traveling to a spaceship crash site in order to find survivors, scavenge the remaining gear, doing planetary cartography, steal trade secrets for a rival faction, etc.

These jobs are a collaborative effort, although sometimes one of your crew can have a secret "rogue objective" than can jeopardize the current mission, so you never know up to what point you can trust the others.

After all you are all rogues so what can you expect!

The game will feature a singleplayer offline mode too, so you can go and explore on your own, hunt creatures, or maybe find a nice robot, hack it to later resell it and earn some credits.

Each world has its own biome, dungeons, puzzles, enemies and treasures. The events in them will constantly change, so they will be living worlds with constant activity.

 

Game is being developed by one sole woman, previously an employee at Virtual Toys who made Muppets; Looney Tunes plus Phineas & Ferb games for Vita.  So she's got the experience, she just needs the money.

Before it gets echoed in here - yes, she's using Unity Asset store things at present.  She's being realistic - she's a sole indie dev, she's not going to be able to make a massive title full of built-from-the-ground-up assets herself.

Anyway, just thought I'd share it here since I think it looks great!
