In Ensign-1 you play the role of a space fighter pilot returning from a deep space colonization mission. On arrival back to our own solar system, you find Earth has been colonized by a hostile alien force. It's now up to you, with the help of your mothership, the Ensign-1, to take it back Ensign-1 allows allows for complete freedom in approaching objectives. You can fight from the safety of your spacecraft, or land and exit to explore space stations and carriers on foot. You can commandeer any spacecraft in the game, no matter how big or how small. Defend an asteroid base, or take the fight to the enemy with a huge mothership, friends manning turrets, it's your choice. The game also features a multiplayer mode where players can explore a randomly generated galaxy, either fighting co-operatively to clean out enemy fighters, or battling each other for supremacy.

I was wondering if this game is still being developed.
There are no new posts in the forums, the gamestopping bugs are still there... I have not been able to get past mission 3 because of the game crashing, and there has not been a bugfix for quite long time ago.
Is the game dead?

Yes of-course this game is still being developed, the last release was just a few days back my friend. To anyone who is wondering, the forum for this game is over on spacesimcentral.com. The link to the official Ensign-1 game forum is Spacesimcentral.com. That forum is pretty active, check it out. I was also confused about this when I discovered this game while browsing on kickstarter.com. I was also confused about Desura, I had never heard about it. I wish it was on Steam.com. I dislike digital distribution though, I love the retail cardboard box in my hand but that doesn't happen much anymore. Also DRM is so common that even when I do have the box in my hand, it doesn't mean anything because half the time I need to register the game on Steam or with EA or something anyways. Kinda sad, but the best out of the bunch is Steam, I don't know anything about Desura, but it seems pretty good though right now. Pretty much exactly like Steam but with less configurable options, like it always starts up on boot... but... that is easy to fix. Anyways, I am kinda getting off topic, please check out the game, in it's current state, it is very enjoyable.

Hey Azrapse,

The game is still being worked on. Both Rusty and I were on vacation/away from the internet for the past few days. I will be uploading a new version of the game very soon which I'm hoping will solve a lot of the problems you mention.

Oh, okay. I will follow the forums over there instead of these ones. Thanks for the answers.
