11 bit launchpad announces development of Jameson: The Pilot, a space simulation in development at Rezoner, which they call "a mysterious one-man dev team responsible for every single aspect of the game." The Jameson: The Pilot website is online with screenshots and a reveal trailer showing off the game's 2D approach to outer space. Here's word on the game, which is expected for early access this autumn:

Jameson The Pilot is a space sim in which the players can do almost anything they want. They can be explorers, miners, traders, pirates or even… space bus drivers! Countless possibilities and the extensive system of customizable ships, guilds and quests create huge universe full of potential.

This universe is rendered beautifully with pixel art graphics and 8-bit music, making every minute spent with the game a real pleasure. What really sets Jameson apart from other games though, is its attitude. This is a game about having fun, so don't expect huge SAVE THE GALAXY quests. What does it have instead? Plenty of humor, pop culture references and rather cheesy jokes, that’s for sure. It’s a game that will allow players to relax and just fly through endless space.
