Duskers is a very cool game. It's very difficult and stressful, so it's easy to bounce off of; but the concept and execution are top notch.

What caused the end of the world then? I guess I might try again with the game, but asking here I could get moderate spoilers without a complete spoiler.

Damn windows only - not on mac. I really loved the first one. Hope they port it to mac eventually.

I am obviously missing something here, but how is it "command line"?

Wow! I would not have expected to hear about this game again. The first game was a lot of fun, definitely room to flesh out the game play loop but had great ideas.

The video for Duskers 2 in the linked article was of a very graphical, real-time engine style game with sound, music and animation title is misleading if not abusive of our time

So the trailer for 2.0 is exactly what I was thinking of for continuation of this kind of game. I was missing a lot that would have made it deep like a backstory. I was thinking it would be great to tell that back story through the logs you find on derelict ships. Im really glad this appears as if it's going to happen. Duskers was a great game even in its limited story driven context.
