We Interrupt These Faces For

Drifter: A Space Trading Shut Up and Take My Money.

Okay, sometimes the developer isn't the ideal spokesman for the game, so here's some footage of the game itself:

The game is already well into development for iOS (iThingies); the Kickstarter project is to raise funds to do Windows and Mac ports. They've raised 20% of their target in 20 hours, so it's looking promising. Just $10 for the digital download.

I wonder if this game is supposed to be a modern reboot of "Frontier: Elite II". That's sure what it looks like.

3 Dang. I hate to bother you for like the 5th time, Pixy, but I just got this message while trying to post at Ace's:

Your IP address (207.191.102.33) has been banned. If you feel this is in error, please contact the blog owner by email.

Now, as you and I know, I can be a douchebag in the comment section. But I'm fairly confident that I haven't been rude in ANY comment section since you and Den Beste belittled me on this site, almost a year ago. Can you fix this?

Thanks in advance.

4 There's an automatic filter that will ban you if you trip certain switches (it takes 5 points for a comment to be rejected by the spam filter, I think it's 25 points for a ban).

I'll get you unbanned now.

5 Steven, yes, they have Elite/Frontier very much in mind with this. I'm happy to throw $10 at them to see if they can recapture the Elite magic.

They've made a good start with the musical score, and it looks pretty, if a bit aseptic.

John Videogames begs for money.

Yeah, there are projects where that is only barely a parody. Fortunately, they've failed.

7 Thanks much. But it still didn't work. I typed in 'test' followed by clicking 'post', and it still said:

If you can fix it, that would be great. But it's not that big of a deal. Ace.mu.nu is ridiculous. It's so frickin' big! You've created a monster, Mr. Misa.

8 Regarding the failed project, that guy needs to hire someone to be his spokesman. He's even uglier than I am.

9 Sorry Kevin, got distracted by a pack of wild monkeys. Should be good to go now.

And the credit for Ace of Spades really goes to Ace and his crew; I just change the light bulbs. wink

10 Fixed! Of all of the Pixy Misas in the world, you are by far my favorite Australian one.

Thanks!
