Gemini Wars Announced! Space… The Final Frontier!

Indie dev team Camel 101 announced they are hard at work at a Space based RTS game called Gemini Wars. The game will feature a single player campaign with 3 unique factions. UPDATE: The devs have clarified it’s isn’t a 4X game but will feature some 4X elements(based on the screenshots) from expansion of territory to fleets battling it out. I must admit, some of the screenshots and the early footage of the game reminds me of Homeworld. Brings a tear to my eye. It’s targeted for a Q4 2011 release. Teaser trailer and early footage of the game after the jump…

These are really early footage:
