Development Info Michael McCarthy's 'Dropship'

[Trash]

Shame really. It sounded like it could have an enormous amount of potential.

 

[MountainWest]

Oh, well. What's a Sci-fi RPG set around the moons of Saturn? After all, I suppose it would be frightfully dull, and... and boring, and completely...

Completely wonderful.

I had high hopes for this one.

 

[JarlFrank]

Maybe they're really going to come up with something... somewhen...

 

[Shoelip]

If it does come out, I'd expect that it's toned down a bit from what they originally told us about it. Like Sins of a Solar Empire's simulated galaxy with orbiting planets that pull injured starships into the atmosphere.

 

[Andhaira]

A silly name though. Makes me think of that old, old paratroopers game where you are a canon, and you shoot paratroopers jumping from a plane.

lol. Now that was a game that should have earned a 21+ rating.

 

[Major_Blackhart]

So what, now the game's not coming out?

[Shoelip]

Maybe he had to change the name.

 

[Major_Blackhart]

Does anyone actually know if it's still a WIP or what?

 

[denizsi]

Nobody knows, so it's dead until there are news again.

 

[Major_Blackhart]

What a fucking tragedy.

 

[SuicideBunny]

What a fucking tragedy.

[VonVentrue]

What a fucking tragedy.

I sense the atmosphere of extreme pessimism...
Apparently, the game is still being worked on (they did respond to an e-mail a while ago, didn't they?), it is probable Laidback-Gaming simply don't have much to show given the current state of game's development.

At least, I sincerely hope so.

 

[JarlFrank]

Their name is their motto, it seems. They're too laid back, they should go and work on the game!

 

[VonVentrue]

I sent them an e-mail a while ago - to my surprise, they responded by claiming Dropship is still being worked on.

An Artwork ? No shit... Wow... looks like a greatest hoax after Corpse Crew

 

[Mister Arkham]

Nice to hear that they're at least pretending to still work on this. Always was a cool looking project.

 

[Dark_Paladin_Anti_Hero]

It's all in the name. Ever wonder why all the games that have "broken" in their title end up being buggy messes?

"Laidback gaming"
:respect:

Does this look like vaporware to you, plebs? From gamebanshee, link to a cinematic: http://vimeo.com/user1260990

Dudes with gas masks, ex-troika, possible turnbased. O god, insta-win game.

HEAVAN.
Unreal Engine 3, that's surprising to say the least. They originally planned to use the Source engine, if I recall correctly.

 

[Claw]

Wow, that's... kinda hard to believe, actually.

I mean, what do they do for a living?

 

[JarlFrank]

Hahahahaha the text at the end.

Dropship
Coming...

without even an estimated date, just "coming"
Just like Duke Nukem Forever
