The IOTYs are up and for the third time, Sirius is in it. Ranking #95 out of 12.000 Games in 2012 and #105 out of 39.000 Games in 2013, it would be a great honor to compete
Where's 2014?
I decided to pass upon 2014 as I was in no shape to even work on this game. A lot has changed and 2015 was an intense year for me.
First of all, the Greenlight Campaign; 24 days it took from posted to being accepted, and only 6 days after that I was able to release Sirius on Steam. The Votes, however, were really evened out. 51% Yes to 49% No - and I was about to experience that in the following months - Ratings on steam itself crashed, at one time being at 35% Positive. I was devastated.
Patching and Working on the game commenced, neither able, nor willing to give up, a stable server was made for the game, tradelanes left the game and recently came back, more ships were created, a new UI and 2D graphics renderer joined and now, here I am, dedicated only to Sirius. 59% Positive as we're speaking, new players coming in every half an hour...
It has been a ride. 2015 was good.
And it can only be topped off if you bring this game into the top 100 of the IOTYs.
Thank you for your Votes!
PS: These Beauties up there are also on steam store page now. Totally forgot about them!
