Outer Edge Kickstarter game

[[R-COM]rushn]

So I was browsing kickstarter and found this game
OuterEdge - Voxel Based, FPS Sandbox Survival by WAK Design — Kickstarter
the concept sounds amazing to say the least but I am doubtful about the developers and funding

basically the game is an FPS with stuff like mine craft elements, tower defense, city building,etc

here is the full list

Gameplay / Customization / Design

CITY BUILDING

Design, customize, and fortify your city
Recruit NPCs and manage their jobs and specializations
Research and unlock new powerful weapons and items
Manage a variety of resources including food, currency, and minerals
EXPLORATION

Journey out into the world to uncover new resources
The world is procedurally generated, so you'll find unique lanscapes every time you play
Collect these resources yourself or assign NPCs to do the work for you
Encounter new and varied enemies and creatures
This harsh landscape will reward the player daring enough to uncover its secrets
HORDE DEFENSE

Within the classic day-night cycle, build/fortify/explore during the day and defend during the night
Experience alternating waves of enemies (and enemy types) depending on the day, season, moon cycle, and more


hopefully they will get the funding they need and dont dissapoint

They have put a lot on their plate, looks like a mix-mash of a bunch of other concepts. Not sure how it will play out, but with how little money they need to get it going I wouldn't be surprised if they make it and then some.

Voxels that reminds me of something, what ever happened to the "unlimited detail engine" You know the one that promised unlimited detail. Hence the name.

StarForge will kill those guys anyway

The engine is apparently still in the works

it did get a grant from the Aussie government so if it was fake I am pretty sure they will get hit pretty bad by the government law

Not convinced by this, it seems like a jumble of features from other games, but they're not looking for a huge investment and have made progress.

Wouldn't hold your breath about them, besides there are quite a few voxel demos which are more impressive and not so suspicious.

Mmm, voxels on their own still suffer from memory constraints but they're being used more and more in combination with polygons. Polygon skinned voxels are being used a lot in games for things like terrain, as you can have overhangs and real-time deformation, and voxels are also being used in the new unreal engine for global illumination.
