Super excited about the Two Guys SpaceVenture. Can’t wait for it to be funded!
Veav here from the Skyjacker effort – thanks for the shout-out! We’ve had a slow start but we’re still in the game and we’ll have some new vids/screenshots in the days to come, as well as good news on the kickstarter front. (And an extra bit of thanks for Edge of Space too, that game’s going to kick ass.) Skyjacker will rise.
Best of luck for Skyjacker Veav! Yea, Edge of Space looks fun. They had a good increase in the last day or two. Hope you and HandyMan can make it.
Edge of Space will, I believe. Skyjacker – time is running short, but we’ve learned a lot from this first effort. So even if we don’t make it this time that won’t be the end of Skyjacker. What doesn’t kill us makes us stronger, eh? }:D
LordShaggy here, from Edge of Space! – Want to give a big thanks for the shout out as well, and thank you Veav for your belief in our project. SkyJacker looks pretty amazing itself! I am glad that this won’t be the end of Skyjacker. I miss space shooters like that!
We have a long road to go, but with support like yours Veav I think we can make it! Kickstarter is tough.
