Earlier this week we showed you a glimpse from a blog post by Simogo which detailed some of the early design concepts from their haunting adventure Year Walk ($3.99), and yesterday they posted another early look at the game, this time with a focus on character development. As they warn you in the post, it’s very slightly spoiler-y stuff, so if you haven’t played through Year Walk but are planning on it still (you should be) then you might want to avoid for now.
Oh, and while were on the subject of Simogo and Year Walk, the team will be in San Francisco next week for GDC and to attend the IGF Awards, where Year Walk has been nominated for Excellence in Visual Art. Also the Year Walk soundtrack from Daniel Olsén was recently released on iTunes, Bandcamp, Amazon, and a ton of other places. Check out this post from Simogo to see how to get a hold of it, and I’m looking forward to hopefully seeing some more behind the scenes Year Walk stuff in the future.
I've been waiting for months for this game. It looks AWESOME! I hope it comes out in summer. It's going to be a fantastic period to play this game :-)
Looks a lot like Freelancer--which was an awesome game. Can't wait to have something like that on my phone!
Galaxy on Fire 2 is closer to Freelancer than this, and is already out.
I WANT THIS GAME!
Looks good. Sure wish someone would slap a Red Dwarf theme on one of these Space Trading/Exploring games.
This had better get going -- and SOON!! I
I kickstarted this AGES ago & ever since then it's been nothing but one excuse after another after another ....
This guy's worse than the Pebble watch people!
I want what's coming to me & I want it NOW!
Hi!
I've tried to be very up front about why the game has been delayed and I do honestly feel awful that it hasn't been finished as fast as I was hoping it would be. Unfortunately being the only developer it's difficult to predict events outside of my control that may end up derailing progress :(
That said with the desktop beta well under way the plan is to open up the beta to non-early beta backers next week.

I can't minus you in the app, so I am just telling you that I think you're lame.
Anyone know if this is similar to Escape Velocity? Loved that title way back then...
This just goes to show you that a single developer with passion, intellect and creativity can create a more compelling game than what some of the big fish regularly regurgitate.
Have patience people!
I hope this is just a single purchase and not some subscription crud. That would be terrible.
Anyway I'm super excited for this!!
Any more news on this
Can we have an option to add this to watch list please?
