Predestination - 4X Space Strategy ( INDIE )

[Neil79]

rendan ‘Nyphur’ Drain stated that he always wanted to make a space 4X game, and more specifically a spiritual successor of Master of Orion 2. Nyphur explains that Master of Orion 3 was a total let down for him and that recent 4X games don’t satisfy him fully because, in his words: “I don’t feel like any have really recaptured the magic of MoO2?. So, this was the starting basis for Predestination.

Recently, Nyphur and his team, the Brain and Nerd Studio, have showcased Predestination at QCon XIX, Ireland’s biggest anime and gaming convention. Nyphur presented what they had already (because the game isn’t playable yet) through a trailer that shows the game’s main features (that you can watch below).


And, most importantly, they opened up beta registrations at that gaming event, to anyone who would be interested in beta testing the game when it comes out. They got over a hundred people who signed up for the beta in just two and a half days! This is another proof of how great and alive this genre is, without excluding the predestination dev’s own merit here of course.


So, the Predestination’s devs were very excited about the interest showed at QCon, and so they decided to open up an online beta sign up form for the next few weeks for any folks that want to take part in the beta tests.

So many space 4x games atm!

Aurora is still my favorite though! (Even though I barely understand it!!)

Wow looks awesome, the guy sounds passionate about it aswell. Not sure about the music though! Need some dark space music.

Yep it's because of success of Sins of a solar and Endless Space

Registering my interest, could have potential although as said above the trailer music really didn't feel right at all.

Aurora is still my favorite though! (Even though I barely understand it!!)

My perfect 4x would be a mash-up of Aurora and SpaceEngine.

Hi, guys!

Thanks for chatting about Predestination - we really appreciate your interest, even in the really early stages back in summer!

You'll be pleased to hear that the trailer music was just a placeholder so that we had something to show at QCon- we have a composer now who rocks my socks off!

For those who were interested in following our progress, the latest update is that we just launched on Kickstarter and have achieved 10% of our target every day so far, which simply blew us away!

If anyone has any questions at all, feel free to let me know and I'll get them answered quickly.

My best,

Tina, Project Manager
