A new game
« on: April 25, 2007, 12:20:36 am »
http://www.voidofspace.com/

I have a friend who is trying to make a game from scratch al by himself. So far I think he is doing terrific. Would never have thought he has only worked on it for just over two months.

Anyhow he is looking for some people to give him feedback so who better then nitpicky people from Planeshift who know where to look for bugs. *giggles*

Have a look and let him [Kronon] or me know what you think.

*disables images* Hmm. Unreadable text. On the join page, "these rules" should be distinct from "about". I spent a few moments going "What rules?"

There's no background behind the text after submitting the form to create an account... :/

Right, not supposed to be critiquing the website :P (it's also all done with tables, and the submit button on the contact form is missing a >)

Ahh...There's no manual!

On this page-
http://www.voidofspace.com/omnipedia/tech.php?id=5
"there" really should be "their"

Game looks interesting. It would be nice if there were more detailed pictures for the buildings and surface, though. .. And a manual. I still have no idea what I'm doing.

*smiles*

I know what you mean about the manual, but seeing he is still heavely updating every week or two he hasn't made one yet ;)

PS: Kronon said he has a friend working on the pictures on the planet so might be updated soon (no TM)

This is actually quite an addictive game, although slow to play. I've been checking back every day to set stuff building. I wish I knew how well I was doing.

The wallpaper he used is something I could probably get off of google. He needs to fix it in place so only the boxes of text scroll and not the background with it. The background also has the website he got it off of written on it, it's in red so it's hard to catch, but it's writing nonetheless.

You are third in the rankings so seem to be going well Kiirani ;)

PS: changing the number of the game-id to see the other games is what I useally do, but there is a score menu at the start ;).

ahh well still several people who only look around a bit and don't even use their first colonizer so making sure you are not on the bottom of the list shouldn't be to hard untill people start building their armies and those inactives get conquered ;)

It reminds me of Master of Orion, of course different concepts on a same area(4x space empire-building), but that one was a great game and a true classic.

P.S.: I feast on Wiki Links :P

Fans of Master of Orion should seriously play Galactic Civilizations
