Saintxi announces their new sequel to the flagship game Light of Altair

SaintXi is excited to announce the first sequel to their flagship title Light of Altair. Being set within the same universe as the original game, Moon Base Eridani continues the story of the original game from a very different viewpoint. While Light of Altair focused on the wide interstellar expansion of Humanity into the stars, Moon Base Eridani looks deeper into what it takes to be a colonist in a hostile world.

Based on player feedback, Moon Base Eridani concentrates on allowing the player to make their own choices to secure their colonies’ growth. With this free form gameplay, the game is infinitely re-playable with different results every time based on the decisions you make. Creative director Thomas de Rivaz remarks “Without the restraints of scripted missions, we have much more time to improve on the core gameplay that made Light of Altair fun. Moon Base Eridani keeps the player thinking about a ‘better’ way of laying out their colony. This iterative play style keeps a player’s interest peaked as they solve the mysteries of colonial management”. With multiple worlds to explore and many unique challenges to overcome within a dynamic economy and environment, Moon Base Eridani is set to create a new standard in simulations.

The sequel will be a sandbox version and is in development for release 2011.

“This it is just the beginning” – Thomas de Rivaz

I was counting more to see the upgrade/dlc/patch for Light of the Altair but this sound like a good start and fun. Will it be more like Master of Orion, Sim City or other game??

WHAT?! There's going to be a SEQUEL to Light of Altair?!?!?!?!

Domino, ur bored? lol

I think his reply to this comment was completely based on non-bored-type-emotions.

Wow! A sequel, I just cannot wait to play it. If only there wasn't all this work to do...

LOL! XD

It's not so much of a sequel but more like a sidestory, or maybe the same story from another point of view.
All depending of how much of the story will MBE deal with, we know it's since they leave Sol, but we will go beyond the union between Seekers and Altair? We will beat the UEO here, or that's for the next game? (And then you will make it so we will play as the UEO just to spite us) XD

I can safely say that you will never play as the UEO, they are definitely always going to be the opposition .

You are correct in thinking that MBE is filling in the gaps between LOA and the 3rd game. There are some key details that MBE will release into the lore before the third game.

I'm looking forward to finishing it off

good. UEO are bad ppl

I played the UEO! In Star Supremacy... (Not really, I was Altarian, but it was possible. XD)

So it does reach after the end of LoA... A third game already! Oh yeah, what will we get next? Imagine a space combat sim! Or an RPG like game, where you only command a ship and slowly get bigger and better...
