Kickstarter launched for Solar Warden; space combat game from Star Citizen’s ex-lead technical designer

Polar Zenith has launched a Kickstarter campaign for its upcoming six-degrees-of-freedom space combat game, Solar Warden. Solar Warden is being created by the former lead technical designer of Star Citizen and promises to feature an overarching campaign with real-time strategy elements.

In Solar Warden, players will jump into their fighter and combat the Silicoid menace up close, while they command and dispatch the Solar Warden fleet for reinforcements as they see fit. Players will gain the favour of nations they support, granting them funding, research, and military assets to further them in their goal. Experimental ships, weapon systems and upgrade tech will also be at their disposal.

Solar Warden uses a Six-Degrees-Of-Freedom flight system, married to Newtonian flight physics to be overcome and exploited in action-packed dogfights. Your ship’s thrusters can be set to several modes that are suitable to either pursuit, dog fighting and even navigating the tight corners inside massive asteroids, navigating the mazes within and blasting it clear of hostiles.

Each ship’s weapon hardpoints can be fully customized to use a wide array of weaponry like heavy lasers, heat seeking missiles, rail-guns, and many more. As you research new tech, you’ll be able to further upgrade your ship with improved countermeasures, shield generators and improved power plants to give you more maneuverability and firepower.

Polar Zenith aims to raise $40K in total and the campaign ends in 29 days (so far it has raised $11K).

  1. It’s becoming a trend nowadays to quit a bigger company, start your own and use the former’s family name to promote your sh*t.

    Now correct me if I’m wrong but there are other ways to go about one’s business.

    1. Not exactly sure what the problem is by specifying your experiences in the industry to promote something you’re working on. Its always been a standard in mainstream. Star Citizen is only ever mentioned in one line throughout the whole Kickstarter page anyway. The main subheading on there doesn’t even mention it. I guess DSOGaming decided to pick that one game in order to get clicks, I dunno.

        1. Oh? Whats on your f-ing resume’ exactly? Do you even have one or a job yet and how did you get it? When you move out from under your mummys wing, and actually get a job that isnt a paper route or folding the family laundry you’ll see how the world works. Think before posting genius. Its called work experience. Millennials….

          1. I’m a UI/UX designer and I specialize in apps and websites. I’m also a part time YouTouber.

            You can drop me a line @ elgydium.dribbble.com with your requirements though I doubt you can afford my services.

            This is what I’ve achieved over the past 2 years.

            If you’re such a d*ck as to speculate that garbage about me without even knowing me then you sir have made my day. You’re officially the most r*tarded soul I’ve ever met (virtually).

          2. I like you.
            I don’t hesitate to throw pictures on their dead brain cells when they assume they know something about me. Shut it down. 😀

          3. Btw, I’m playing pubg hardcore nowadays. I’ve been struck by the virus. Thinking of starting streaming. What’s you steam?

          4. Haha this is an enchanting brosef moment, two self appointed genuises, come together for the two handed circle jerk.

          5. Fine, very good for you champ. This monkey job does not imply actual intelligence…. and here you are dropping your credentials. A bit “lame and cheesy”. Swish, right over your head.

          6. Again little man, as my father once said, don’t speak unless spoken too when those who are something have something to say.
            Stop now. This will get messy.

          7. Yes, the intellectual prowess of a boasting posturing imbecile is simply too much for me.

          8. Typical response of a coward and the mentally deficient. Add me on Steam, I think me and Alex need another body for a PUBG squad. Lets play. 😉

          9. haha yes, another witless retort from the epitome of a posturing d*ck measuring douche. The pic sums it up, transparent, laughable, painfully generic.

            Im just not interested in PUBg. You run along and have fun though…go on, git.

            pfft man, what a tool.

          10. I always drop my credentials for dumb-lame-a*s stalkers like yourself. And if you’re considering those to be credentials, then you’re an even bigger b*ggot than I imagined.

            Toodles id*ot

          11. Just shut the f*ck up, you’re like a whinny b*tch that can’t stand to not have the last word. You’re acting like h*mo trash.

          12. “… you’re like a whinny b*tch that can’t stand to not have the last word. You’re acting like h*mo trash.”

            …..and yet here you are. I dont know man, appears you’re stalking me.

            Oh man, so many people want to beat me up?!?! Yikes!!

            If you “guys” havent already hooked up in person and treated each other to (another?) matching tribal arm band tattoos then you probably should.

        2. Again it’s just a marketing idea which has always been a thing. It’s kind of essential for people to get informed about who’s working behind the projects they consider backing. Doubt many people would feel as compelled to give money to someone who has never made a video game in their entire life compared to someone who has. I’ve backed a few projects in the past simply because of the people working behind it. Regardless it shouldn’t even be bothersome, I don’t see what’s lame and cheesy about it.

    1. God, your life is boring.
      How fat are you?
      Because it’s clogging that Top Ramen you call a brain.
      And if you are not fat, I guess it has to be hereditary stupidity, please avoid making children. Damn, why did I type that out, when we all know who the F wants to be with you besides Disqus, and even that’s debatable. Cheers though.

        1. You have a chicken as a profile pic and a private account.
          Please don’t speak to me anymore, I won’t block you since it’s what weak people do, and so because the internet is this way for you, meeting me in real life is something you’ll never be able to handle.
          I also don’t need to be eloquent to trolls or even a sesquipedalian since ah F it, go to sleep child. 😉
