Destined To Go Beyond

[Thorondor]

We were meant to go out there. To push the boundaries of the known, to part the darkness and ever seek to improve our ability and reach - much like what is being attempted by Brain and Nerd with Predestination, an in-the-making 4X turn-based offering.

Predestination is a turn-based space 4X game that significantly modernises and improves on the gameplay of classic games like Master of Orion II, Civilization and the Galactic Civilizations series. It blends turn-based galaxy management and turn-based tactical combat with modern 3D graphics, player-generated content, and innovative new game mechanics that 4X fans have been waiting years to get their hands on: A 3D galaxy map that works, real planetary exploration, streamlined micromanagement, realistic spying and planetary bombardment mechanics, and many other revolutionary features. It's all in Predestination, whether your focus is on exploring the galaxy, expanding your galactic empire, exploiting the resources around you or exterminating all races that cross your path.

 

 

 

The destined features:

 

 

 

• An intuitive 3D galaxy map that really works. No star lanes restricting ship movement!

• Real planetary exploration on procedurally generated planets.

• Terraforming and climate management.

• Tactical fleet combat with custom-designed ships.

• Free map designer and modding tools.

• Create multiple colonies on each planet and design your own city layouts.

• Design re-usable colony blueprints to reduce micromanagement without sacrificing control.

• Manage dozens of colonies at once by editing existing blueprints.

• Send spies to infiltrate specific enemy colonies, and strategically bomb colonies from orbit.

The game is in beta and pre-ordering is available but a definite release date is not yet written in the stars. Still, the current prediction is it will inevitably reach us sometime between Q4 2013 and Q1 2014.
