Damn forum ate my post so I'll just have to cut this short.

Anyone tried it, or brave enough to try it? I've never heard of this being mentioned in any major sites. In fact, I chanced upon it by accident in Gamersgate. Looks like a fairly decent UFO clone, without the base building. The devs also appear to be very active on their blogs and forums, which is never a bad thing.

Which forums and blogs, exactly? I've actually supposed the official ones were dead. No?

Damn forums ate my post again! Anyway, it was erroneous to say that they're "active" upon closely looking at the dates of their posts, since the previous blog post precedes the current one about a year ago.

Colour me unimpressed thus far, but I'll hold back on the specifics until I reach at least half of the game. The core mechanics of the game, on the tactical-level, are solid, but I'm really upset by many technical nuances like the interface. Still, while I've got a whole list of issues ready to be thrown out, I'll hold on to them until I can get a clearer picture of the game.

Has the developer disappeared entirely?

No idea, but I think he's just laying low instead of going MIA. He did, after all, address RPGCodex in October when they posted about the game.

Though I find it strange why he has a forum, but people aren't allowed to register there to post comments. Maybe I'll post my thoughts after I've played it a bit more, then direct him to this thread.
