I think it looks sweet.... I don't care about the graphics not being top notch. Gameplay is all that matters, lets hope id delivers in that category

Looks interesting but i'll wait for a demo before i decide anything.

That carrier reminds me of the TCS Concordia, and of course our favorite 90's space sim.

Same.

I liked Conquest: Frontier Wars, so more of it isn't a bad thing.

Ironclad = Developer of Sins.

It seems they like it to be kept a secret. Why is everyone so baffled by the developer vs publisher thing?

ironclad developed sins?  I thought the devil made them do it?

It certainly does look better than Sins. But it's not the same scale. The videos for Nexus 2 looked way, way better than Sins, but the game wasn't going to have 200 starships on the screen.

What disappoints me greatly is that they've removed "localized subsystem damage" from their feature lists, for the stupidest reasons: the argument could be reworded as "we think players are retards who will think a disabled starship is a bug, not a feature". True, that's what happened with Homeworld 2, Nexus, and Sword of the Stars. No, wait...

If they can't even make a tutorial and an interface that will explain concepts such as subsystem disabling and make them obvious to the players, I'm not sure they're a good programming team to begin with. On the scale they're working at, subsystem damage *is* manageable (whereas it isn't at SoaSE's scale) and brings a tremendous amount of depth if implemented correctly.

It looks to me like they're shooting for "Star Craft in space". I can understand, from that perspective, why they'd choose to remove targetable subsystems.

How do you mean published? You are the one, who interviewed them?

If yes, nice work, quite funny and good questions asked, so its very informative. Thanks

Some new info about Gemini Wars is available on their blog, the authors decided to add multi-system maps similar to Sins or more precisely good old Conquest Frontier Wars.

You can check, how it looks like, here:

More than that, there was quite informative piece of journalism about Camel 101, Gemini Wars authors and short, yet interesting preview for the game.

BTW if you interested in the game and do have your own ideas, what would you like to be in there, do not hesitate and join their forums and voice your opinion, there is pretty good chance they might consider it and add to the game. They are already doing this by adding multiple systems, as this was not a part of their original design, but decided to add it after they were recommended to try Conquest Frontier Wars... so they are very open to new ideas, similar to the Ironclad devs

Sins is brilliant game indeed, but it is 3 years old right now and Sins 2 is only to be announced, so no chance for it this year IMHO. And personally i would like some refresh, therefore my interest in GW. And i do actually feel, thet GW might be better game for multi-player, as it does not aspire to include 4X elements (bar obvious things like some research and colonisation), it is shaping to be probably more like Conquest Frontier Wars... I know you can play Sins as classic RTS and ignore all the research, diplomacy, culture etc..., but it feels like travesty to do it... i suppose some of these things will be greatly simplified or ignored in GW, thus making the game faster and less complex, what is probably good for multiplayer, as the game should not take hours
