Stellar Tactics is currently in Early Development on steam, but the dev said he wouldn't mind trying to get it here when it's done. You can vote for the Wishlist entry here.

Why do you link to steam and not to the actual website?

That does look pretty neat. There's a shortage of isometric RPG-like things that aren't in fantasy universes.

Hope they make it over here!

Because I follow it through the steam Stellar Tactics discussion boards. The dev said he reads them every day and he posts all updates/patches/hotfixes there too. But I do appreciate you posting the website link.

It's pretty amazing how far this game has come along in just the last few months, considering it's just one guy doing everything.

Looks interesting, and I love seeing these one-man projects actually come to fruition. Voted.

The dev calls it his obsession. :) He's answering questions on the discussion boards every day, he has a "regular" job, and it's not unusual for him to upload multiple updates/patches/hotfixes a week. I don't know how he does it, but I glad he is.

Wow, thanks hadn't heard of this.

I'd probably snatch up something like this day one. Played Halcyon 6 a few months back and loved every moment of it - can always use more games in this style.

Any ETA for In-Dev exit?

Knowing GOG's "curation", doubtful that we would see it here, but I voted.

I hope you're wrong, because it looks like something I'd really enjoy. And it seems to be fairly full featured so I'd hope it would catch GoG's attention. I think Halcyon had a fair amount of success here (judging by a few forum threads - sort of anecdotal I know).

But I'll take your hint and toss a vote on the Wishlist as well. I try to be selective with my voting (that makes it count more, right?!?! ;) ) but I think this one deserves a shot.

I keep my fingers crossed but I've stopped holding too much faith.

Maybe we'll get lucky and this will be an exception.

No ETA yet, right now it's at the end of Alpha beginning of Beta stage. The prologue is done for the most part, he's still tweaking and balancing a little. But it's still not to the point where you can use the FTL and explore the whole universe.

If you want to see all of the updates I suggest looking in the discussions and not on the game page, he only seems to post the big updates there.

Looks good, reviews are great so far, I can get behind this. Voted.

Open world space exploration RPG? Sounds VERY interesting. Besides the reason mm324 stated it has the side effect that whomever from gog might check it out can directly see that it has long and short term very positive reactions.

I like the fact that the ground combat is turn-based, like Fallouts 1&2, while the space combat is real-time with pause.
