Never saw the light of the day, but somehow it oozes more atmosphere and has a clearer art direction than anything I saw by CIG.

Yeah, was really disappointing when they canceled it. They went for Warhammer instead I think.

For gently caress's sake, they've got a Star Trek phaser and communicator along with the time machine from The Time Machine. I'm not a legal expert, but shouldn't they need permission to use those?



You can get away with so much under the guise of parody, but the game looks dry as gently caress, so there's really no excuse.

I mean. Maybe? But how do you basically have a constant stream of obviously plagiarized material for a board game associated with a company that deals almost exclusively in the creation and distribution of images.

I know that there's a running commentary regarding SC's IP bankruptcy but it's not like they just grab the USS Enterprise, spin the nacelles 180* and call it a concept sale. These dudes are just grabbing poo poo like Deep Space Nine and giving it a quick trim and calling it good?

I'm not sure if I'm being triggered but I am confounded.

Scene: CIG offices late Friday night.

So, uh, I need you to work over Easter weekend, scrub any of this artwork you find from anywhere, and make new replacement art from scratch.

It's for a boardgame Kickstarter about our game's economy.

Oh yeah, the Kickstarter deadline is in less than 48 hours.

You and your family can celebrate Easter next weekend.

This is so loving weird. It's like the only way this guy can imagine interaction with his daughter is through some lovely spaceship game.

It's going to cause a real rift in the family when his little girl wants to do normal poo poo. Not playing space-lord with daddy is going to be a major act of rebellion.

Maybe we should preempt all this and buy her an SA account.

lol this Ryan Archer guy is a loving plagarist trying to pass himself off as an artist.

Can we get the original artists to be made aware of this so they can go after him? And can we make sure this is plastered everywhere so this douche has to gently caress off forever?

It's actually a pretty old game. It's apparently not very good, and was part of Steve Jackson games' line during the 80's.

David Ladyman got the rights back recently, and decided to hire a plagiarist to make new art, since the old artists probably had the art rights returned to them.

I just find it somewhat odd given the level of disposal income and how much the card game kickstarter has been lauded by CIG that it stands a pretty good chance of not making it. Granted, the last 24-48 hours of kickstarter always give a boost but percentage wise they are a ways off.

It is almost like most of the SC audience they are pandering to donate find it silly to fund an actual physical product that involves real-life getting together in person type poo poo where you have to shower and meet other persons face-to-face as being reprehensible.
