Space Rangers HD: A War Apart Announced!

[DRNewcomb]

One of the things I would like to see is an updating of the text missions to be less 1980sish and more like Myst or Riven.

Yes, agreed! Bare minimum, I'd like to see an option to increase font size. I love the text adventures and think that just a bit more polish could really make them shine.

The game works great on Win8.

As for the other question about portable version, I have to say that at the moment we do not plan to port game to any mobile platform like iOS or Google Android. Our top-priority is the PC version.

Someone asked about text adventures? We've planned about 15 new text quests, and yes, there'll be an option for big fonts while playing

You misunderstood - "A War Apart" will work great on Win8, though "SR2 Reboot" may not work so good due to some architectural features of the engine.
Suffice to say, HD version of the game won't have this problem. As of temporary solution for the "Reboot", you may try using DxWind or something similar.

This is great news, im a fan of sr2, awesome game, spent countless hours on it. Was sad tho that there were no sequels or other expansions, until now tho, cant wait to play this

Any plans to make this Space Rangers challenging, like Space Rangers 1? I felt you were trying to target a more mass audience with Space Rangers 2 by making it much easier.

Sheer joy when I read about this HD remake. Thanks a lot guys. Glad to see you got your hands on the Source code this time Ru_maniac

Assuming this game stays true to what it was I'll be there day 1 to buy it most likely. (on Steam I hope)

You obviously haven't played Space Rangers 2 with everything on it's hardest difficulty have you? It's nearly impossible to beat. In fact, I haven't been able to yet, and I didn't even have it all the way. The Dominators inevitably take over too many sectors, leaving you with only 1 or 2 systems to defend. Then it gets a little easier to maintain defenses, but research is so slow, and often the Dominators manage to take out critical stations, and Dominators seem to always be too far ahead that you can't even escape when you need to run away.

However, I will admit this little annoyance, if you can last long enough defending at least that one last system, eventually, for some reason, near the end of the tech tree, but not quite the end, the coalition forces start to slowly gain the upper hand and gain systems back periodically until they reach a point where you're pretty much not even needed anymore because the coalition is winning at least a tenth of the systems they attempt to take back and no longer losing more than a couple every so often. At that point you might as well just do whatever because anything you do against the Dominators will only expedite the inevitable victory of the coalition and end your game. In fact, if you wait long enough, you aren't even needed to take down the final bosses. Eventually the coalition will happen to take each one down.
