MY PLANS FOR THE FUTURE OF COSMOTEER

Drakador_Chaos

Walt I am tentatively planning to give keys to the creators of popular, pre-approved mods who have their mods ready and compatible when the base game launches on Steam. I will make an announcement about that closer to launch.

Only one key per mod or does it depend on the amount of people working on the mod?
First off, I´ll likely buy the game anyways to support it, but it´d be nice to know.

Another question is, will the current ship/mod etc. structure present on the pc for the free game still work for the paid version, or will mods have to uploaded on steam?

Drakador_Chaos if I had to guess we would upload to steam workshop, at least then you don’t have to go through the hassle of installing mods, you can just do it by subscribing to the mod.

Walt

chief_chaman478 will you have a choice to have classic cosmoteer graphics. it would be a nice feature too have. though i understand if it could break some things that are different with some new designs.

No, I will not officially support that. It's possible someone could make a mod for it though.

Unknowner07 sounds good but 20$ seems to much because this game is really fun at first but ngl it gets kinda boring if you don't have friends/someone to play with ...

That's why I'm waiting for the new singleplayer mode before I start selling it.

Crazykippy08 Wow that sounds cool will the players still be able to post ships or make factions and post them ?

Of course!

Drakador_Chaos Only one key per mod or does it depend on the amount of people working on the mod?

That will be a judgement call on my part. I'm not going to give a hundred keys to a single mod, but if a big mod has multiple developers, I'll consider giving a key to each.

Drakador_Chaos Another question is, will the current ship/mod etc. structure present on the pc for the free game still work for the paid version, or will mods have to uploaded on steam?

I will still let you install mods manually, though I suspect people will usually just use Steam Workshop.

False_God will you allow pre-orders?

I don't have a choice, Steam doesn't allow pre-orders for new developers.

Nordwolf I have ask walt that and he said that they wont add that...and I think it's silly cause i like the current graphics but the new ones look cool too

False_God

will you allow pre-orders?

also looking forwards

BritishSpuds

Walt 100% will be buying the game, even though I only have $11 in my steam wallet : (

False_God

Walt oh, that sucks

So, another question, rather obvious one: "Will there be any more mod breaks until release?"
I already know the answer will probably be 'I don´t know yet' (aside from bounty hunter which will obviously break), but I´ll ask it anyways, since someone is bound to ask sooner or later.

Walt don't they look at the history of the developer?! that's a big bummer for developers who are just
transitioning to steam 🙁

Drakador_Chaos Will there be any more mod breaks until release?

I don't expect any major modding changes for "Cosmoteer Classic". The paid version I expect will have significant modding changes.

Jared Idk if you already answered this but, how will mods and modding work with the payed version?

Just like they work now, but with added support for Steam Workshop.

BattleCruiserCommander what will happen in the cosmoteer classic modding community. I mean, the game basically slowing down to a stop helps with large-scale modding (and you wouldn't have to worry about constantly updating stuff)

I'm hoping that most mods get updated to the latest "classic" version. That way people who want to play then can install just that one version.

Cosmic Will the paid and free versions be cross compatible with each other or due to updates will it be incompatible?

Not sure exactly what you mean by "cross compatible". If you mean multiplayer, then no, they will not be able to play together.

ABigSillay Will it be on Xbox?

I have no plans for that and it seems pretty unlikely to ever happen.

Not-New-Anymore I hope I can run it on my cheap laptop once it comes out

I don't think the min specs should be any different than the free version.

Walt: I will still let you install mods manually, though I suspect people will usually just use Steam Workshop.

I guess they´ll work as usually just with the added option of the steam workshop.

Cosmic

Different versions are not compatible in multiplayer currently (if that is what you meant) so I doubt it´ll be compatible from free to paid, which is an even bigger gap.

GunsForGuns

Walt I can't wait I hope the new version will bring some new life back into the game... that is until I remake my meme mod for it XD

BattleCruiserCommander

I do wonder what will happen in the cosmoteer classic modding community. I mean, the game basically slowing down to a stop helps with large-scale modding (and you wouldn't have to worry about constantly updating stuff) but I would suspect most people including modders would jump to the new cosmoteer, probably meaning not as many mods would be released. So maybe more old-school modders stick with cosmoteer classic, pump out new mods and get their already released mods finished, then jump on the new cosmoteer.

Cosmic

Will the paid and free versions be cross compatible with each other or due to updates will it be incompatible?

wildgunsky

Although Cosmoteer is going to be a paid game soon, i'm still hopeful for the future of Cosmoteer, Kroom obviously is working his hardest and you definitely have a lot to go through with Cosmoteer, so i hope the development of this new paid (Reborn?) version of Cosmoteer goes smoothly.

Cheers!

ABigSillay

Will it be on Xbox?

ResExsention

I am so glad I received a Steam gift card for Christmas.

Kroom, wonderful sprites. I really cannot wait for it's release!

despite my Steam account ending up bankrupt but that's okay I've played this game for years and I know I will not regret it.

I'm guessing Steam Workshop will start becoming a thing?

Not-New-Anymore

The new sprites look really good. I was getting annoyed by the older ones- I could not tell if I was looking at a 2x1 or 2 1x1's. I hope I can run it on my cheap laptop once it comes out... but if it does not, I can just use a different computer.

$20 seems like a good price. I don't expect it to change how I see the world, but it's good.

Cube

The new art looks awesome! Kroom was a fine choice.
About the keys, how will they be sent to players who have earned them?

Probably through discord or email.
