use a software licensing service for sales, i recommend WHMCS. Even though it is for web hosting stuff, it has a free add-on that is for software licensing. Great software, great support, great price.

Hmm, that looks interesting.  I'm already using BMT Micro, though, and am really happy with them - or I'd take a closer look at this.

Okay, I've played Flotilla and now I really look forward for Starfarer.

If you don't know, Flotilla is an indie game with a very cool combat system and not-so-bad exploration (although events are too random and mostly similar).

I really loved the combat and it brought a fresh interest in space combat games to me, but the game is too short... It ends intentionally ("You die of disease") not far from a start. I had only a single ship the whole game, because I've lost my 2nd one in the first fight and my 1st one became a dodging monster, killing everything... And you don't get new ships unless you get appropriate events...

So yeah, now I want some cool tactical group battles in a disputed space. I've just realised again how great is Starfarer going to be . Good luck to you, guys. I will probably preorder in a week or two.

Cool   I think I saw a gameplay video for Flotilla, looked good.  I liked the idea of weaker bottom armor.  A shame that it's short like you're saying, from the video I got the impression that the 2 vs 2 ship battle was just a small one and it would ramp up from there.

We've got a post up about planets, by the way.  Next up is something much more detailed about modding as it relates to the first alpha version.

FFUUUU-


Code faster please?

It sounds like it has a slight sprinkle of Mount and Blade in it.

It's a rock-paper-scissors in 3d game. There's no "weaker bottom armor". It plays as there's no armor at all for the bottom and read, and top, front and sides are invinsible (rockets literally bounce off).

Beam weapons ignore armor, but are short range.

So it's a game where you outmaneur enemy, and AI is quite weak at this.

And it's literally THAT short. I haven't encountered more than 2 enemies at once, and I killed them with 1 ship.



Great post! Damn man you keep me thrilled .

Great post! Damn man you keep me thrilled .

Glad you liked it. I kind of liked it too, seeing how that was the first time I laid eyes on that jungle planet


A new post about modding is up, you can check it out here. A few new screenshots in there, too.

I'd love to hear what you guys think!

Looks sick. I WANT MY ALPHA NOW

EDIT: Just noticed your Java code. Now I'm going to have to bring in the alpha build and "mod it" in my programming class because that's "on-task."

[mendonca]

Can't offer anything more constructive than everyone else.

i.e. looks great and I want it now.

I'm not sure I'll do much modding beyond creating a few missions anyway (give myself hordes of wasp wings with those nasty beams) but it's great to see you trying to keep the game as open as possible.

I'm sure that decision is the right one, and it will pay off.

Also the pace of updates is really whetting the appetite. Keep it up, and good luck with the project.

That's how it all begins

[Lethal Dosage]

Awesome updates ... what's the projected release date (if any)?

[alexm]

Thank you! Soon, sir, soon. /goes back to work

[muwahahaha]

This is probably my number 1 game to watch at the moment, I keep finding myself checking the RSS feed and watching the older videos over again.

Are you planning on getting a forum later on?

[Lethal Dosage]

Also, what are the minimum/required system specs?
