Perihelion Interactive decided to reward their backers with an early holiday offering, a video demonstration of procedural textures showcasing armor color tinting, decals, rust and damage.

The Mandate is a six-player, cooperative, sandbox sci-fi role-playing game currently undergoing development, following its widely successful Kickstarter campaign that ended earlier this month.

Feeling that something is missing among existing sci-fi role-playing games, the developer set out to create a complete sci-fi experience set in a unique, historically inspired world.

They wanted to make a game where ships have crews and the players are not a solitary presence in a box in the sky, where the captain is a strong presence in an evolving, dynamic ship that hundreds of people call home.

Although the Kickstarter is over, interested players can always join the ranks of the backers through PayPal, with details available on the game's website.

The Mandate is on course to reach its next stretch goal, which will have Perihelion add mod support to the final product.
