Got some big shoes to fill. Hope they do it justice.
Seems far away from release.
Too bad its so far away.
2026 early access, and probably 5 more years. K see ya in 2031 then.
Yeah, seeing as they haven't even launched the Kickstarter campaign yet it will be years until we approach full release. At least we'll get to see, in real time, if it turns out great or shite.
Hope it turns out good.

First game to use Pathinder 2E rule set?

Starfinder: Afterlight Gather your crew and save the galaxy in this party-based RPG featuring Starfinder 2e ruleset—where magic meets technology.
 
If I'm honest, I like that Owlcat doesn't making this game as well. Owlcat is handling lots of projects right now and to tell you the truth I'm kinda concerned if they bite more than they can chew. Also Owlcat's post DLC policy irritated me in recent years.

Hope this game will be good. I never say no to a good cRPG games. They are my weakness, cannot stop to follow them.

Turn-based sci-fi fantasy RPG Starfinder: Afterlight blasts into Kickstarter, shares new trailer

Following an announcement this summer that a video game adaptation of the sci-fi fantasy tabletop RPG Starfinder was coming, fans were left waiting for the Kickstarter campaign which aims to secure funding for development throughout its early access period. Now, a colorful new trailer is letting everyone know the campaign starts tomorrow, October 7.
Lead a crew of misfits in this party-based RPG exploring the Pact Worlds, where magic and memes coexist. Your choices shape their destinies." Yes, you read that right. Memes are a huge part of this universe.

On top of the 'ragtag team of space misfits' trope that's become extremely popular after the success of the Guardians of the Galaxy movies (though it was a thing well before that), Starfinder: Afterlight seems to be bringing in plenty of unique elements of its own, elevating the tabletop experience with a neat mix of very stylish visuals and charm that goes beyond the characters' designs.

As it stands, the key features that developer-publisher Epictellers Entertainment is highlighting are the following:

  • Six unique companions you can bond with.
  • Tactical turn-based combat built on Starfinder's "iconic classes" and Paizo's three-action system.
  • Branching narrative structure, of course.
  • 40-60 hours of pure sci-fi fantasy adventure.
Those familiar with recent CRPG hits like Baldur's Gate 3 will also be happy to learn the voice cast is being directed by Neil Newbon (Astarion). Needless to say, there's a big overlap between Starfinder fans, veteran RPG players, and the Dungeons & Dragons community, so this is a smart move.




Seems they chose the Guardians-of-the-Galaxy-abortions route of storytelling. My expectations just plummeted. Better be extremely fun gameplay.
