Derek Smart and 3000AD plans to release Galactic Command, in episodic content for the PC and X360

FiringSquad has learned that 3000AD's Derek Smart, creator of the long running Battlecruiser/Universal Combat series of space sim games, will officially announce on Monday an all new space based game series called Galactic Command. This game is being designed as an action shooter that's similar in style to the Freespace series of space combat games. 3000AD also plans to release this game in episodic format for both the PC and Xbox 360 console. We have the first public screenshots from the game here. Look for more info on Galactic Command along with an interview with Derek Smart where he talks about the game on Monday.

Cool. I wonder how long it'll take for them to do it, episodically and all -- when compared to the slowpokes at Valve.

Does this guy even have fans anymore? He needs to make a game and keep his name far far away from it. Then it might have a chance. I mean, if I saw a space sim was in the works I'd naturally be interested.Whenever I learn Smart's doing it, that interest just disappears.

Yeah, the guy dug himself a pretty deep hole.  I more or less second idol's post.

But he is such a nice dude.
