After a long wait, and a lot of hard work, Flix Interactive has launched Eden Star into the public arena, and into your hands! We’re reaching out to our fledgeling fan community, and giving the players a chance to shape Eden Star’s future.

We chose Kickstarter because we want to create a great game for the players, not for publishers. This will enable us to keep creative control over the project, and be open with our players at every step along the development process.

We are looking forward to the development of Eden Star in the coming months, there are so many exciting features and content we can’t wait to create and share with you. Everything from the world of Pharus 07, to its creatures, to the Teslinium wielding Pioneers and you the player, carving out your own story of survival on this hostile world!

Thank you all so much for supporting Eden Star thus far. It has meant the world to us here at Flix hearing your responses. We look forward to realising the games potential and embarking on this journey to deliver Eden Star to you!

Hi everyone.

So, what a week the team at Flix has had. This time last week we were at the UK’s largest games show, Eurogamer Expo, showing our pre-alpha combat tech demo to the public for the first time ever. The response we got was simply incredible!

An estimated 70,000 people attended the Expo this year and across all four days our stand was packed with people wanting to get hands on with Eden Star. Almost everyone who played the game loved it and those who didn’t gave us some incredibly valuable feedback. My personal quote of the show was “smash…I forgot about that I was blinded by all the awesome”. We had people of all ages and it was absolutely fascinating to see such distinctly different playing styles emerging so early in development.

A big shout must go out to all the other games that where on show in the indie arcade with Cloudbuilt, Teslagrad, Fist of Awesome, Skipping Stones and Chroma (but to name a few) proving to be both awesome neighbours and even better drinking buddies. We truly did meet some friends for life down in London.

Also we were all incredibly humbled by the support shown to us by the press and media. From BBC Radio 1 to the amazing guys from 1001-up.com the coverage we received was incredible. It is always a pleasure to meet people who do what they love and the team from 1001-up clearly adore their work. On behalf of the whole team I would like to extend our gratitude to everyone at 1001-up for awarding the best game of Eurogamer. From podcasters to bloggers and TV to Radio my sincere thanks to everyone for your time.

Eurogamer however is simply the beginning. Now the real fun begins. We have already received the Greenlight on Steam and over the coming weeks we will be running our Kickstarter. Unfortunately due to unforeseen circumstances during our verification process it has been delayed slightly. The second it goes live we will let you all know. Anything you can pledge will bring us one step closer to turning our dream into a reality and allowing us to realise the full potential Eden Star. Stay tuned for all the latest on the game and as always, thanks for your support.
