[color=rgb(58,58,58)][font=Arial]The time has come folks... after some great feedback on the new pitch, we're ready to go on our publication date of [/font][/color]00:00 [color=rgb(58,58,58)][font=Arial]on[/font][/color] May the 4th[color=rgb(58,58,58)][font=Arial]![/font][/color]

[color=rgb(58,58,58)][font=Arial]Our hope is that we can ask everyone who is interested in backing us to back us on the same launch day! If we can get some momentum going on day one, it will help bump us up on the visibility list on Kickstarter and Kicktraq - and hopefully more people will get to see our pitch - increasing the chances of being funded this time around![/font][/color]

[color=rgb(58,58,58)][font=Arial]So - we ask that if you are as enthusiastic about seeing Dominion take space-flight as we are, please be sure to back us once again, on day one of the pitch, on May the 4th![/font][/color]

[color=rgb(58,58,58)][font=Arial]I'll update here with the pitch link the moment it's live![/font][/color]

[color=rgb(58,58,58)][font=Arial]And if you can't back us - or aren't interested - but know someone else who might - please pass us on wherever you can that will listen![/font][/color]

[color=rgb(58,58,58)][font=Arial]Thank you for your support![/font][/color]

[color=rgb(58,58,58)][font=Arial]Too many exclamations! I can't help it!![/font][/color]

Cheers everyone! :)

I think I could put the preview link out and Kickstarter will redirect it to the pitch once it's live - but I daren't take the risk ;)

Good luck with it, I've been following your journal for a while reading all of the cool lighting effects and suchlike you've been adding :)

One question, which you've probably answered before but I can't find it, is will you be able to enter atmospheres or land on planets?

Sadly landing won't feature in this release - it's too big - we have covered it - however no worries on covering it here. We want to do it right, and that means a lot of procedural content and complex systems - and also to allow people to author worlds and replace the procedural - so it's slated for a later release - if we manage to get off the ground!

As for flying into atmospheres... we want to accommodate something for gas giants - for gas mining stations/harvesting, etc. That should be achievable. Flying through dense clouds of Hydrogen in a super-huge environment and then watching a sunset has a certain kind of appeal... smile.png

For a full "wish list" of where I'd like Dom to go in the future, check out here :)
