Games Initiative - Aerospace business sim made w/30+ experts of NASA, SpaceX, etc. on Kickstarter now!

Hi, I'm Nick, co-founder of Indelve. We're currently developing Initiative: Red Dawn, a MMO business simulation game.

We still have a lot of work ahead of us, and we started off about a year. We'll be running a crowdfunding campaign in about a month, and we started to release a few gameplay videos to show.

I would love to get some feedback because we're putting a lot of effort on the upcoming Kickstarter campaign and every tip helps!

Here you can see the first official gameplay trailer:

Here's another sneak peak of how your Space Station will look like:

We're still developing a few assets of the Moon outpost to share. More info and pictures are available at http://initiative.online/press.

To give a little context, Initiative is a MMO business simulation where you build and grow your aerospace company with the ultimate goal of creating a sustainable colony on Mars.

Main Features

• Competitive MMO: compete against thousands of players
• Cooperative: form or become part of a Holding to join forces
• Rocket design: Design and assemble your rockets from lots of different parts
• Base building: construct your base on Earth with buildings
• Assemble your team: hire the Talents you need for your company before your competitors
• Rocket launching: plan your missions and launch your unique rockets
• Technology tree: research you way into the technology that will get you on Mars before others
• Corporate war: defend yourself from vicious attacks like hacks, sabotages, Talent poaching and stealing... and cause them
• Contracts: keep your cash flow positive by getting and fulfilling contracts from governments and private companies
• Colonies: own a space station and an outpost on the moon to enhance your main base, reduce shipping costs and mine asteroids

Thanks!

 

Here's a character profile for the NPC Talents.

Pablo de Leon is the guy in charge of building Mars spacesuits and habitats for NASA, and he's on board!

Hello, again.

Here's another quick snippet we've uploaded showing where your journey begins.

You'll start off with a Headquarters building and a Launch Complex, and must start growing your base and your company from there.

 

Hi Guys!

I hope you guys like it!

 

Hi guys! Finally! After more than a year of hard work, our game is now live on Kickstarter!

Developed with the technical support and consult of over 30 specialists from NASA, SpaceX, Blue Origin, Virgin Galactic and more!

This game would not be possible without their support and participation, and it's entirely dedicated to them: the men and women who do not need to play the game, they are living it.

Here's the link to the Kickstarter page: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/indelve/initiative-aerospace-business-and-mars-colonizatio

This is your chance to back the Initiative and take part in the development of a game you'll love. We also need your help like never before to spread the word about it. We know the game is great, but everything depends on reaching as many people as necessary to make it possible.

Be part of this! Join, share, pledge... you will be remembered

 

Obviously, a game about Mars colonization can't be complete without the one and only, the real Tony Stark, the alien who came from the future to improve mankind, Elon Musk.



It's almost impossible for developers like us to reach our role model, but we can do it with your help. To get Elon to step down from one of his rockets and hear us, we need you all. Using the hashtag #BringElonToInitiative, we'll make some noise and get Mr Musk to accept being a member of the Initiative. @everyone

We are sharing with you this picture, and asking for your support to achieve our goal: help us bring Elon Musk to our game, by sharing the hashtag #BringElonToInitiative on facebook and twitter and tagging @elonmusk
