Finally Robert can do it as he always imagined space sim game. And the guy is a big child still re-living his fist contact with STAR WARS and Sf, you can see it in his eyes when he shows ships and talks about the game during the live streams.
Only things that could fuck up all are:
- If he don't do game physics to be 'easy' and 'hard' (easy - fly by wire system, hard - possibility to shut down fly by wire and do stuff yourself)
- if he try to make 'everything at once' and lost his idea in the process (lots of things not elaborated to the end, unfinished and too simple.
- goes over budget and had to 'cut down' some things ( new goal is 21 mil USD, so the game will be big MMO with everything he imagined)
I think he's really trying to make his pledges to have a game they want, to listen to them and deliver what he promised, not just because he is in the debt by them, but also because he loves that game genre and will do all he can to fulfill his dream.
