Evaluation

Nomad Fleet launched on Steam Early Access in July 2015 and received a steady stream of updates throughout that period — new factions, ships, scenarios, UI improvements, and bug fixes. On April 19, 2016, the developer officially released version 1.0, marking the end of Early Access. The final pre-release update (April 16, 2016) added the Hybrid fleet, an alternate ending, and several new research items, representing the completion of the content roadmap the developer had been working toward. In the release announcement, developer Jorge Pacheco reflected on the journey as a "one man show" and noted that while Nomad Fleet is his first game, "it will certainly not be the last" — pointing forward to new projects rather than additional content for this one. An earlier post (February 17, 2016) candidly acknowledged the game had been "a sales failure so far," and the April 16 pre-release patch notes stated that "for extra content or features I'll need to see how the launch goes." There are no unreleased DLC listings, no announced post-launch content roadmap, and no developer communications of any kind after the April 19, 2016 launch post. The game shipped as a complete, self-contained product with no subsequent content additions.
Evidence
Developer announced the official 1.0 release after 9 months of Early Access, reflecting on the project as complete and looking forward to future games rather than additional content for Nomad Fleet.

About this game



Nomad Fleet is a Real Time Strategy game where you must lead the last remnants of Mankind to safety after a mysterious alien race has hunted them near extinction. Lead a fully armed fleet of battleships, carriers and fighters through a series of randomized scenarios and encounters where they must fight for their survival while scavenging for resources, trading and researching new technologies.

Features:



  • Command your ships in a fully 3D environment.
  • Obtain resources by harvesting asteroids and salvaging ships and use them to build a massive fleet.
  • Research new ships and upgrades.
  • A procedural galactic map with random encounters that allows for multiple and varied playthroughs.
  • Unlock two different fleets by finding special missions.
  • Uncover the story of the mysterious alien race that has hunted Mankind for a century.
  • Meet other alien races and deal with them by diplomacy or warfare.

How to Play:



In the game you lead a small fleet of human survivors, your only objective is to reach the last sector in a galactic map with random encounters with your Mothership in one piece and enough ships to defend it. Every sector you visit can present a combat, scavenging, dialogue or trading situation that you will need to decide how to exploit but you only need to stay in a place enough for your hyperspace generator to charge in order to continue the journey.
You can give orders in real time to individual ships or using control groups, also they can be ordered to move using three dimensions.
