Blackspace is definitely looking like an indie game to watch. Dubbed by its team of two ex-Electronic Arts developers as a “Defensive Action RTS,” this game is like a cross between tower defense, Red Faction, RTS base building, and a 3D ‘Lunar Lander,’ played through the eyes of what’s essentially a Starcraft SCV.
Indie Game HQ has provided a list of their five best Kickstarter campaigns that failed but showed great potential. Luckily, it appears as though all of these Kickstarter projects will still see the light of day, albeit at a much later date than anticipated.
"Blackspace stands out from the bunch thanks to it’s wonderfully clean visuals and attractive design, but further distinguishes itself as you learn more about the game. Using your mining vehicle, you are able to defend your asteroid by creating valleys in the fully destructible environments using the game’s physics engine."
"Blackspace is a game about mining resources in space. You fly a mining craft that can be used for base tending, construction, and for battle. Much of the base building will be familiar to RTS fans. You can dig anywhere, and destroy pretty much anything. You can reclaim anything of worth and convert it to power, fuel, or money." - Robert Bury
