A new trailer has been released by the developers of the new Elite: Dangerous game which was successfully funded via Kickstarter. The new video provides fans and backers with a glimpse of what the next generation space combat will look like in the new game.
Elite: Dangerous is the latest installment of a long series of epic space games, starting with “Elite” – one of the most successful games of the 1980s. The original “Elite” game set a new standard for open-world gameplay and space simulation, and its legacy has continued to inspire game developers and players alike for decades.
Capital Ship Battle Video
The newly released trailer showcases a capital ship battle, which is a significant aspect of the gameplay in Elite: Dangerous. This video was used as part of the composer selection process for the game. The music featured in the video was created by Erasmus Talbot, the winning composer, and it adds a dramatic and immersive layer to the intense space combat scenes.
“Here is the capital ship battle video used as part of the composer selection process for Elite: Dangerous. The video contains the music created for the pitch by the winning composer Erasmus Talbot.
The video also helped us develop other aspects of the game such as ship materials, GUI layout, and special effects. Look out for David Braben’s next dev diary where he will talk about why we created this video. We’ll also follow up with a detailed art making of video to highlight how the artists benefitted from putting this video together.”
Development Insights and Community Engagement
The development of Elite: Dangerous has been a highly collaborative process, involving not only the core development team but also the game’s passionate community of backers and fans. The Kickstarter campaign for Elite: Dangerous was a resounding success, raising over £1.5 million from more than 25,000 backers. This strong support has allowed the developers to push the boundaries of what is possible in a space simulation game.
David Braben, the co-creator of the original “Elite” game and the driving force behind Elite: Dangerous, has been actively sharing development updates and insights through a series of developer diaries. These diaries provide a behind-the-scenes look at the game’s development process, including the challenges and triumphs the team has experienced along the way.
In addition to the capital ship battle video, the developers have also released several other videos and updates that showcase different aspects of the game. These include detailed looks at the game’s procedural generation system, which creates a vast and diverse galaxy for players to explore, as well as demonstrations of the game’s realistic physics and flight mechanics.
Elite: Dangerous promises to deliver an unparalleled space exploration experience, with players able to engage in a wide range of activities, from trading and mining to piracy and bounty hunting. The game’s open-world design allows players to forge their own paths and make their own choices, creating a truly dynamic and immersive experience.
As the release date for Elite: Dangerous approaches, excitement continues to build among the game’s community. The developers have expressed their gratitude for the support and feedback they have received from backers and fans, and they remain committed to delivering a game that lives up to the high expectations set by its predecessors.
