In this video, the host covers updates and news for three simulator games: Starship Simulator, Nuclear Option, and Star Trucker. First, Starship Simulator, a free-roaming sci-fi starship simulation game, announced the launch of their Kickstarter pre-launch page. This allows interested players to register and be notified when the Kickstarter campaign goes live. The developers are currently working on an exterior redesign and a new trailer, with the Kickstarter expected to launch soon after.
Next, Nuclear Option, an accessible combat flight simulator, shared updates on their upcoming update 0.27. They introduced a new aircraft called the ew 25 Medusa, which is the first short takeoff vertical landing aircraft in the game. The Medusa has rotating nozzles that aid in a short takeoff distance and can hover when the fuel level is low. It also features an electronic warfare capability and will be equipped with a laser as a directed energy weapon. The game’s developer shared a screenshot showing the Medusa using the laser to counter an inbound missile.
Update 0.27 of Nuclear Option will also introduce four new types of weapons, as shown in a screenshot of the game’s ta30 Compass aircraft releasing ordinance. The release date for this update is not yet known, but the game has gained popularity in the community. Additionally, the game’s first competitive team PVP event, called the Nuclear Option Competitive Smackdown, is being hosted by the developers. Teams of seven can compete against each other in a balanced version of the game’s escalation scenario.
Lastly, Star Trucker, a truck simulator set in space, is getting a free demo. The contents of the demo are not specified, but it will be available as part of the Steam Nextfest event in February. Star Trucker offers a unique twist on the truck driving genre, incorporating space walks, ship interiors, and handcrafted environments, accompanied by an atmospheric Americana soundtrack. The host expresses excitement to try out the game during Steam Nextfest.
To conclude, viewers are encouraged to register their interest in the Starship Simulator Kickstarter, look forward to support-based gameplay in Nuclear Option, and try out the chilled vibes of Star Trucker in the upcoming demo.
