Artemis Spaceship Bridge Simulator - Evil Cheese - 08-20-2013

Anybody else look into this game yet? Apparently it's a mix between a cooperative RPG and a video game sim. A typical game consists of six players, each with a role on a Star Trek style spaceship bridge. There are officer roles like weapons, science, engineer, etc. that each player can assume. Each player uses their own networked computer/laptop or iOS/Android device to display a specialized console for their role which includes unique information and functions. The captain role has no functional console (a tactical view console for the captain is optional), but must rely on the other players to relay their specific types of information in order to make decisions and give orders to carry out functions. See the video below for an example of what a game might be like.

It seems like an interesting idea that would be cool to try at ACEN with BRBUers. Are there at least five other people planning to go to ACEN who can bring a laptop or tablet along with them to try his out with? You only need to buy one license in order for everyone else to play, so if I can get a few people to commit I'll go ahead and buy one.
-EDIT-
You only need one license for PC players. iOS/Android users will have to download the app individually from their respective app stores which costs like $3.

I could. That looks pretty cool

I would if I was certain I'm going. I'm not certain unfortunately, but it would be even cooler if you were able to get everyone to respond to battle like this:

(it would be great if it didn't auto-embed when you want a time index, anyway it's about 21 minutes, 20 seconds.
