Star Force: An unofficial sequel to X-Wing

[mmntech]

Somebody is finally making a new X-Wing game, sort of. Serbian 3D artist Vladimir Milosevic is making an homage to the classic space combat sim in Unreal Engine 4. It's currently in pre-alpha but he's released a concept video that shows gameplay.

It's not much to look at right now but seems like the project has a lot of potential. The final game, should it ever get released, will not be set in the Star Wars Universe. The ships and sounds in the video are just place holders he says.

Nice to see space sims making a bit of a comeback. Now if only the X-Wing series would get a proper remake of sequel.

More space shooters is great but the whole point of the X-Wing series is to fly the iconic Star Wars ships.

If the flight engine is all setup to simulate the definitely non-newtonian X-Wing physics and the game mechanics are the same then I guess he could get away with the Star Wars ships being a "mod".

Maybe even moreso to fly them AGAINST Star Destroyers and the like.
Space sims are fine, but without the Star Wars IP, it's hardly even in the same breathe.

So is this licensed? Because if not, well..that's the end of it before it begins. Never understand why people advertise this stuff so far in advance, when knowing copyright trolls are bored.

EDIT: but..it's possible it is far enough removed to not be an issue..except for a couple of ships.
