PULSAR: Lost Colony, the starship crew sim is closing in on release

For those who've always wanted to be a living member of a starship crew, PULSAR: Lost Colony is a reasonably good pick and it's nearing release.

Just recently, they put out Beta 21 which includes some more end-game content for the Colonial Union faction. They say the next major updates will focus on end-game content for the W.D. Corporation and Alliance of Gentlemen factions.

The rest shouldn't take as long, as while they were building this lot they say they've created a set of tools to allow them to do it quicker which sounds interesting. That's all that's in, there's quite a bit more exciting additions included in Beta 21. They've included new weapons, a new enemy spawning and respawning system to make exploring planets more interesting, a new system is in for special timed missions to add a bit of tension, there's five new creatures to find and so on.

I've played it personally a few times and it is quite interesting. It has a lot of fun ideas and a vast amount more content since I last played it properly so it's likely even more fun now. There's really not many games like it supported on Linux!

The game itself can be picked up from Humble Store or Steam.
