Transverse Announced

Piranha Games announces Transverse, a flight-based, sci-fi MMORPG from the creators of MechWarrior Online. They say a variety of preorder options are offered on the Transverse website, but don't mention there's a crowd-sourced funding campaign there as well, which has an ultimate goal of one million dollars. Here's a reveal trailer and the announcement:
Humanity has begun its first tentative steps beyond its home solar system. However, the journey has not been entirely peaceful...

From the creators of MechWarrior Online comes Transverse, a galactic flight-based MMORPG set in a persistent, distant sector of the galaxy where industry, science and combat shape humanity's interstellar progression.

When the division between humans on Earth and the trans-humans of the outer colonies threatened to develop into a system-wide war, the development of an interstellar jump drive offered an alternative and the trans-humans in the outer colonies were given the drive and a choice: integrate or emigrate.

They chose isolation.

Now immortal through the ability to transfer their consciousness into different host bodies, the trans-humans have multiple hosts that can be modified and improved to advance a pilot's skill. The future path humanity takes among the stars is in your hands.

With incredibly detailed ship and station construction, massive solar-system-wide player events and real-time, physics-based combat, Transverse puts the power in the pilot's hands. A fluctuating, real-time economy fueled by industry drives trade in a dynamic resource ecosystem, and player-generated contracts and missions can shift the balance of power at any given moment. Your reputation as a pilot throughout the galaxy will be judged by how well you fly, and the decisions you make.

Transverse is now available for pre-order via a variety of tiers starting at $30 USD.

I gave up on MW:O when I figured out that Clan Wars was goddamn lie. There is no cake.

Now these clowns are trying to poach CR's suckers... Jesus Christ, why not, I dont know, hmmm let me think, crowdsource a Mechwarior single player campaign!!!???


The thing is that they are more than halfway there already. They have engine, the art assets, the physics modeling, weapons modeling, maps and terrain, mechs, mech bay customization UI, etc. etc. all designed and tested. All they need is a story, some voice work, mods to the engine to handle single player gameplay and scripting, etc. I'm sure if they crowdfunded it they'd get a couple mil at least. Use some MWO cash to fund the rest and sell the end product on Steam.

But that could end up actually being a game instead of just a cash-grab. We can't have that.

God, I hate fucking PGI.
If Russia stops fighting, the war ends. If Ukraine stops fighting, Ukraine ends. Slava Ukraini!
