Sci-fi MMORTS Starborne Reports An Extremely Successful Open Beta Launch
It’s nearly been a month since sci-fi MMORTS Starborne launched into open beta and Icelandic indie developer Solid Clouds couldn’t be happier with the turn out. According to the studio, they have been “humbled” by the sheer number of players that have signed up for the open beta and their overwhelmingly positive response to the game.
The numbers and stats speak for themselves:
- Eight servers launched in just over three weeks
- 99,000 outposts created
- Over 72,000 stations built
- Over 7000 alliances formed
- Over 1.3 million hexes claimed
“The feedback from the Starborne community to the new additions has been incredibly positive,” says CEO and Lead Designer Stefan Gunnarsson. “The political landscape of the game is proving to be more rewarding due to the different victory conditions. Alliances are forming mutually beneficial relationships without the fear of betrayal due to everyone having the same win objective, as was previously the case. Veterans of the MMORTS have also commented that the new victory conditions are a total revelation and an exciting new twist on the genre.”
There’s also a “Thank You” video from Solid Clouds waiting for you after the break.
