Sidhe, a development studio from New Zealand, has released a demo of one of their latest titles “Project Space”, though due to a lack of funding, we might never see this game be released.

“This video depicts a playable PC/360 demo that Sidhe created for a modern take on the classic space combat and exploration game Elite,” the development team explains. “The game took place in the distant future where displaced humans were exploring a strange new galaxy. With heavy customisation and expansive procedural content, the game also included social cross pollination of content inspired by the likes of Spore. We also really liked the cinematic depiction of combat as seen in the reimagined Battlestar Galactica which was a big inspiration for the prototype seen here.”

While the Project Space has been shelved indefinitely, Sidhe hopes to possibly bring it back with the help of a Kickstarter campaign, as “reimaginings of Elite and space combat seem to be all the rage this week”.

So head over to Sidhe’s website or and show them some love so that this game might hopefully be released one day.
