Thats a massive oversimplification. This game has a lot of stuff been reused from the first game, also it is not a single guy, its a single producer a.k.a. a single group of people working on it. Comparing this to Star Citizen is no-sense, SC has the most modern technology they personally created from scrap available (which takes a huge amount of time to do) and the game is of a far above quality in all aspects, graphic wise, physics -wise, sound-wise etc. This is not a "small thing" to consider, it is the whole point. It doesnt take much time to do what these guys did with a team, while it actually does take a lot of time to do what SC is doing considering also that most of the work for SC is going into the Single Player campaign and not the Multiplayer one. Again, its like comparing an average quality product vs a top quality product: the top quality product will always require much more time and caring to do.

I got about 140+ hours in Spacebourne 2. I would say I know a little bit about it. Just some FYI advice. When in space combat and you get a missile lock on you hit X to fire flares to make them avoid you. When you approach a planet hit B and this will show all the locations on the planet. You can select the one you want to land at. If you have a mission on the planet it will be purple in color. This game is very full of massive surprises and can give you lots of fun. I know I have had a huge amount of fun finding all of the in's and out's of this game. I was also very shocked that one guy did this. The guy has some talent that is for sure! 😁👍 Oh, and you can "Raid" a Village for Loot only once. Then sell it at a station or outpost. Good way to build up your money. You will need a good sniper rifle to do this and hang back from the village. Just take note of the planet and the village you looted, you can't loot it again. Well you can, it's just that all the homes will be blocked off and empty of Loot. You will only get the drops from the ones you snipe and the main building if it is that type of village that has one. If not, don't bother. 😉👍 Mercenary missions will give you these types of missions and those villages are not NPC ones they are generated for the mission. This is a Very good way to make early cash! Look for the Loot fugitive or Pirate village missions after you finish the Mercenary Task mission. They may not be high level stuff, but the stuff will get you on your way to getting better at raiding. 👍😉

Lol that's what I've been doing for cash. Tried mining but it was slow, even using a script with voice attack. Found out about pillaging the villages and haven't looked back since. I usually kill the few they send out after me, then go back into the village to raid another structure, then jet pack it close to the ground out of the village again before they take you out, then rinse and repeat. With a bit of practice it's the best get rich quick method in the game. I've pulled multi millions from a single village raid. I'm betting at some point it will be patched out or at least nerfed to some extent.

In no world the community would accept any space game with a "warp jump into planet surface" after Elite and SC (especially the latter put that into a whole different scale with all the seamless things that manage). Let's be real, these products are amazing but we should always keep the perspective clear, not overhyping things just to see them fail brutally after some time. This game has potential but pumping it so much to expect it go beyond Elite and SC is kinda crazy imho and could potentially backfire hard over the author if he can't manage the expectation of the playerbase (look what did Sony marketing over NMS).

AI voice is gonna make even more impressive stuff possible once you consider that nowadays you don't need to use "text-to-speech", but can do "voice to different voice". So that lone developer could just speak all the voice lines themselves, with the pacing and emphasis they had in mind (which completely falls short in run of the mill TTS) and then use an AI tool to morph their voice into a completely different one. It's absolutely insane what is possible there now, especially when having a small budget.

I think this is one of the first games to use ai to majorly contribute to it's development, relying heavily on ai like chatGPT to create the story and content surrounding the entire thing, including the missions. Honestly, this is an amazing concept, and the way he uses them here showcases the amazing development ai can help in the future, to say nothing of his own involvement in it. This is amazing.

No set storyline, no matter what you did or who you killed after it launched it just adapted.

16:27 pro tip - those purple light beams to your left indicate crates that you can loot before you leave the building. Keep an eye out for them throughout the game if you're interested in possibly finding free money or new gear that someone left lying around not bolted down. And the green things that fly out of dead enemies are cash and ammo pickups, those you get automatically. The other items they drop are cargo or gear, which you need to manually collect because you do have a limit on your inventory size for those.

I bought this after watching 5 minutes of the video then played for 4 hours straight first night. Frankly, I don't think I scratched the surface to what this game offers so far. Found it to be an enjoyable mix of elements found in both SC and ED. It does some things way better than those games. Obviously only this doesn't offer multiplayer - but that's fine by me. I can enjoy a SP universe with the best of them. I'm very impressed.

this game feels like one of the guys who were very criticising on how company broken their early promises and someone prompted him with "why dont you make your own then?" and then he did and proved everyone it is do-able.

I ran all of the voice files of an NPC from one game through an AI generator and he sounds like the real deal, far better than the text-to-speech voice acting on display here. Can even make him go from English accent to Scottish with the right text accents. Of course, there'd be some legal issues doing that for your own product, but hey, even if the dev uploaded samples of his own voice to an AI...

These are the same people living in nostalgia and wont even let the devs make a balanced cod. Also you cant even argue modern cod is significantly more balanced than before. You also complain about map reuse when this is something the community within itself incited along with cod maps still neeed to be designed based off the lore of the game so yes youll see the same maps in a game thats rebooted from a previous game. theres not much option without making a completely new game and storyline. Please understand that outside of vangaurd the last cod titles have been a step in the right direction in their own ways. and stop acting like individual publishers havent fucked the community just as hard as AAA ones.

I like the AI voices. It makes me think like that's the galactic universal translator working it's magic in your ear. Also, if it's truly procedurally generated and to include generated quests and npcs, the AI voice would be necessary. Further, if it generates voice from text, it would make modding easier (assuming the game is even moddable)

Sci-Fi has always had a staple of world building with different quality of products. While the nice shining white orbital habit of rich folks would be translators that handle the nuisances of inflections, culture turns of phrase, and idioms... This guy has the 7-11 knock model that is basically one-size-fits-all. It handle languages... mostly... but since inflections are different between languages, not to mention species, those don't work so well. Remember, this character has a scrapped together Frankenstein ship and can't pay his rent. I doubt he has a subscription to a top on the line inter-stellar translator capable of turning any language of any species into perfectly inflected English with a unique voice for each speaker.

This is insane eso! I love how your giving everyone an opportunity to really help make this developer more known and supported.

I honestly couldn't tell if the uncontrollable flying was because of the ship or just because you weren't used to the controls yet but I suspect it was the ship with how much detail it seems this guy put into his project here.

How did One Guy make this incredible game? I am so impressed. I will sure buy it when it is released on Steam. I'm adding it to my Wishlist now.

Please keep doing the "Let's Play" for this game. It looks amazing. I want to play this one, but I'm a lore hound, so I must play them in order. I will likely purchase them both to support the developer. As everyone else has said, it's just hard to believe that this was created by just one guy!

I randomly found this video. Saw spacebourne 2, liked it, alt-tabbed to Steam to look for it. I didn't even need to search because THERE IT WAS, front page with 50% off in the daily deals! I don't believe in signs, but this is one awesome coincidence.

Another great space game by a solo dev is Astro Colony. That one is not about fighting but more like an factory builder, but on a space ship that can dock to floating islands. Looks great, play great.

Thanks for bringing this amazing game to our attention. I found your preview to be very helpful. It's absolutely amazing just One Person can making this game. The potential of this developer with a team to back him up is mind blowing. I hope this game gets the funding and backing it deserves.

This developer has clearly paid a lot of attention to games like Star Citizen and Elite Dangerous and has used cultivated knowledge with UE to duplicate many observable functions, without CIG's insistence on reinventing the freaking wheel. Of course, this game is single player, so that removes a ton of headaches from the process. I shall keep an eye on this one, as I really look forward to seeing where this goes.
