Looks like it's been under development for years, since the screenshots have a copyright date of 2006. Hope they manage to finish it up, it looks interesting.

Honestly, it's hard to look at another space tbs. GalCiv is my favorite game ever, so it would take a rediculously good game to even come close to it. And I'm going to judge a book by it's cover here, it's nothing even remotely close to GalCiv. So hah!

I've been casually following Horizon's development off & on for years now.  I like what I've read/heard about the game thus far, but it's been in development for so long that I'm not going to be hold my breath waiting for it.  Here's hoping, though! 

Of course we all know graphics should come secondary to Gameplay, but those character models....horrendous, simply horrendous. I can draw and animate and steaming pile of cat shit and make it look better then those characters...
