Certain campaigns have made immense amounts of money pre-release, and to be honest, it's unlikely they'll be able to meet the exponentially-increasing expectations. That's why more independent endeavors are worth exploring. One campaign that just launched on Kickstarter is Eridanus Wars by StellarVR. Well, technically the page calls it "Eridanus Wars Beta" but we'll get to what exactly that means in a bit."
StellarVR’s Eridanus Wars has successfully established a keen audience since its first reveal in January of this year. A concept demo paved the way for a launch on Steam Greenlight which has now resulted in approval for publication, with StellarVR expecting to launch the final product via Valve’s digital distribution channel later this year.
VRFocus - Earlier this week indie developer StellarVR launched a Kickstarter crowd-funding campaign for a new virtual reality (VR) compatible flight simulation videogame by the name of Eridanus Wars. The studio hopes to raise £6,000 GBP in order to fund the title, which supports the Oculus Rift head-mounted display (HMD). Now the first screenshots for Eridanus Wars have arrived and can be seen below.
VRFocus - There are a number of space flight simulation experiences coming to virtual reality (VR) head-mounted displays. But, given that the genre manages to bypass many of the development issues with current VR hardware, there’s always room for more. And more comes this week as indie developer StellarVR launches a concept demo for Eridanus Wars onto the official Oculus VR Share Beta for free with full support for the Oculus Rift.
