    Hello everyone,

    Just wanted to introduce my current work-in-progress game, Flagship. It's a first-person RTS set on a galactic scale. It takes the strategy of RTS titles such as Homeworld, Sins of a Solar Empire and Total Annihilation and blends it with a bit of capital ship combat (think Star Trek, Babylon 5 and BSG). You command the entire human fleet from the bridge of your own starship.

    We're building it with the Oculus Rift in mind, though you won't need one to play.

    Key Features
    • Native Oculus Rift support
    • Build and command your fleet from the bridge of your flagship
    • A massive, procedurally generated galaxy full of systems to colonise
    • Non-linear single player
    • Fully explorable starship
    • Ships in your fleet gain experience

    We are currently running a Kickstarter, if you'd like to check that out you can here:

    We also released a teaser trailer back in May:

    Templar I hope you have another pants :)
    Btw, that looks really amazing.
    I don't know what is the scale of your game, from what I see it can be really huge. If you can keep up that quality, it could be a really nice product at the end.

    Don't forget to use finger touches for your control command panel :) That could be really nice.

    Great work and good luck!

    Thanks for the kind words everyone. :) We recently released another video update demonstrating the scale of star systems in Flagship, if you'd like to check that out.

    wow..... just wow. First off amazing job on making something original. There really isn't anything out there that's caught my eye that was like this. I'm sure there are lots of games like spore or others that have universes and travel, etc. But NONE of them have the look and feel to yours. Plus, rather than be in a third person or above view like you'd expect you have it in FPS to top off the project with some sweet style.

    Second, the scaling and visual aspect, though while rough as you mentioned, is still so much more detailed and satisfying than any game I've ever played.

    With these things said, I will end quoting Fry with "Shut up and take my money!"

    Reading the title i was like "hmm this sounds interesting"
    but then seeing it.... my god! This looks simple beautiful! honestly this might be one of the games i would go out of
    my way to go out and buy cause just wow!

    Even the visuals (despite being unfinished) still look really good and they work!

    but delivering the experience is something totally different though ( you know making the player feel like the a captain of spaceship/fleet and all! :D) based of what i have read and your concept it would be surprisingly hard to make a truly satisfying experience but from what i see you guys might be the right people for the job! ;)

    P.S: If you guys show up the Instant Buy is real :D
