This looks really cool and i can't wait to play it.

Some thoughts on the game's surface:

The thing I wish for the most is more attention to the sound and music. A game like this could use a groovy soundtrack to go with the retro cool graphics. I would really love do contribute with some music myself, though I have a feeling that you´d rather do everything by yourself. Am I right?
(anyway, I'm going for a 3 month vacation in India now and can't help you even if you wanted)
But get some guy to compose kickass music for the game! Think about how cool Flashback's music was. If you're going to release the game in episodes, perhaps the downloads won't be too big even if you used something sexier than midi-files for the music?

Also, even though I find the graphics to be really good looking, in a minimalistic way, I personally would like a more colorful palette. All the grays, browns and black tend to get a bit boring after a while. More color combinations! Dark tones of purple, green or whatever.

Cheers

Heheh. I take that back. What I meant was that I'd do it for free, and there must be others who would too.

Anyway. Was I the only one who couldn't keep myself from cheating in the casino? I kept saving and reloading while playing the game until I had over 10.000 credits. After that I never had to trade again, and I could upgrade the ship like hell. I didn't feel to good about it, and it sort of ruined the game for me a bit. I liked the feeling of living on a minimum, like a desperate space adventurer should.

Great game, really!
I would have liked less focus on the philosophy stuff and more adventuring, though. Space pirates doing piratey stuff in space an all that. Also, one thing that keeps annoying me with all your otherwise great games: the lack of original music! If you'd contract some guy (me for an example) to make a more professional score to the game, it would gain incredibly much in my opinion.
