Starport Gemini Trailer Released

LGM Games unveiled the trailer of their first effort, an indie RPG called Startport Gemini, a free-roaming space-faring RPG with ship-based combat. View the trailer here, website here. From the description, it sounds very ambitious.

After spending almost twenty years trapped in the so-called Stasis rift anomaly, unaware of the passage of time, player reemerges into normal space to find Gemini and indeed everything he knew, had changed beyond recognition.

The Gateway stood as the entry point to the Gemini system, but events that took place two decades ago closed the wormhole and practically sealed the system off of the rest of the universe. The isolation and the appearance of countless anomalies enabled unforseen technological advancements.

Political intrigues, greed and lust for power have shaped the fate of Gemini and it is almost time for reckoning . . .
