Spacetime Studios releases fast-paced Blackstar video
Filed under: Sci-fi, Video, MMO industry, New titles, Previews, News items, Blackstar
Sci-fi MMO fans received some bad news when Spacetime Studios recently announced that their Blackstar IP was in jeopardy, due to needing a publisher for the title. Surprisingly, selling a publisher on the IP -- where action occurs both in space and on the ground -- has been a challenge.
While they may be on the ropes, Spacetime Studios is far from throwing in the towel with Blackstar. They've announced that they will be meeting with people at the Austin Game Developers Conference in September, and are inviting business inquiries about the title. While we wait and hope a publisher will step up and make the title a reality for gamers, Spacetime Studios has given us a new video of pre-production footage of Blackstar. Check out the fast-paced video footage below the cut, for a look at what may yet be.
If you liked that, be sure to grab the high-res version over at the Spacetime Studios site. While you're there, you might also want to check out their concept art and additional video footage. Massively wishes the best of luck to Spacetime Studios in bringing Blackstar to the market.

Looks like what SpaceCowboy Online / AirRivals should have been. I hope they find a publisher, I'd play Blackstar in a heartbeat. Looks fun as hell.

Some people have no vision.
Come on people! We've got to have enough combined change in our couches to give to these people!

If you have been following the blackstar website, www.spacetimestudios.com, you will see that they have found a new publisher and begun work on what apears to be a new project. Myself and a few others find it highly suspicious that just one day after TORO is annouced the development talent that originally made SWG:JTL is suddenly back in work. They did not specifically say that they are working on blackstar again but they did not say that they were not. They also did not mention who their new publisher was.
They also said that they are looking for new employees so if you have those skills to submit a resume/application at their website.
Ideally they are working on both games and are to become the premiere space/sci-fi development company in the industry but with such vague information we can only guess and hope.
