Starfighter Origins Launches
Blackpool, UK, April 25, in the year of our Lord 2017
– Mad About Games Studios Ltd. announced today the release of
Starfighter Origins for PC on the Steam platform. Starfighter
Origins is a 90's styled space combat simulator which has been
inspired by games such as wing commander, freespace, star wars
and many more. The game focuses on single player and boasts 4
single player game modes which include Campaign, Simulator,
Challenge and Instant Action. There are over 40 missions which
range from dogfighting to large space battles. The player will
face a variety of different enemies such as fighters, gunships,
bombers, mines, frigates, cruiser, bases and more.
“We have gone back to the roots of space combat, spending many
years working in the freespace engine on mods such as The
Babylon project has been a huge plus," said Lead Designer Shaun
Williams. "There are many space games coming onto the market but
not many single player and story driven scripted games. A lot of
games are multiplayer, dynamically generated or does not focus
entirely on space combat simulation." "With the incredible
experience and talent of our small indie team, we are thrilled
to offer what we believe is the most exciting single player
space combat game to hit the market for a long time.”
All focus on Starfighter origins is single player and is
designed around a unique pick up and play control system. The
controls are easy to pick up and take time to master. The game
is best played with a gamepad but also supports HOTAS and
keyboard and mouse as well as full native support for Track IR.
This is the 3rd release from Mad About Games Studios Ltd. The
small Blackpool based indie studio is led by Shaun Williams BA.
Shaun Williams also designed and created the IP for the Colonial
Defence Force, dozens of different ships from the universe
feature in Starfighter Origins. Using the Unreal 4 engine, the
CDF universe is brought to life with stunning visuals and sound
for such a small team with almost zero budget. Ports to the Xbox
One and PS4 are being explored.
