Daniel DiCicco talks Star Drive 2

We caught up with the creator of {Star Drive} Daniel DiCicco during GDC to discuss the soon to be released sequel that features turn-based combat and a more strategic approach.

"I wanted to do a more turn-based game," says DiCicco. "{Star Drive} 1 technically was turn-based, but... {Star Drive} 1 was a real-time game also and you could pause it any time to make your decisions. But I wanted to do it the other way. I wanted to have something more classic. You just think about your turn really hard and then you press the turn button. So that was a big thing to make the switch to a fully turn-based game. But we also kept the real-time battles, cause that was some of the most exciting, fun parts of the first game."

{Star Drive 2} is set for release on April 9 and DiCicco reveals in the interview that he aims to make it a platform that he can deliver more content to, but what that content will be is basically left up to the community to decide.
