Warspace: A game i'm making

[Apostrophe Spacemonkey]

2D Space Trading Game, you can colonize planets and trade resources and other boring stuff like that.

Gameplay Instructions here
http://www.metalmonkeygames.com/warspace/

It's a 2mb zip file, you should be able to just unzip and play it.

If it doesn't work, please post here and i'll try and fix it.

[Codex]

Looks interesting, might give it a try :>

[Pyromanik]

Took a look at this the other day on your site. Seems pretty cool, you've put a lot of thought into it!

[Apostrophe Spacemonkey]

It's coming along nicley, added extra features, like planets around stars stuff like that.

I did no such thing.

Yeah, i'll do that, my bad.

In the next version it will write the error to a text file which will tell me what went wrong.

Most likely the problem would be it requires the .NET Framework 3.5.

That's a first.

[Zarkov]

Would probably make my computer explode.

You know you want to give it ago, relive your ISSF days as a great space captain.

So my first impression of your game isn't very good.

[Dr Strange]

Worked for me, there is however some false info, it says that you enjoy programming...

[BerG]

My ship is capable of Warp 5. However, I can only get it to Mach 1. How do I enable Warp Speed?

Could it a problem with the Gravity Capacitor?

[Apostrophe Spacemonkey]

The Gravity Capacitor doesn't get installed till tuesday. At the moment you'll have to move around at turtle speed.

is there combat ? or just trading ?

is there combat ? or just trading ?

not much yet, just trading and building stuff on planets, but i'm working on new things.

[Zarkov]

You should mod it a bit and call it Pandemic war of the Worlds.

Would sell like hot cakes at the moment.

This was great!

Could you let us in on what additions you are planning, pretty please?

[Apostrophe Spacemonkey]

Thanks for playing.

At the moment i'm deciding if I want to stick with offline and change it to XNA for better performance, or change it to use silverlight and make it an online game.

Probably the latter, online would be more fun. I'll probably have it so a group of people, 4 or 5 can play together.


As for the game play, I want to make changes like number of people affecting the efficiency of buildings, so you'll have to transfer people from other planets. Building/operating buildings will be slow if you don't have enough people to run them etc.

[Zarkov]

Count me in.

I *knew* it! I know where this is heading...

Freelancer 2!
Doesn't exist yet, but it would be cool if it did.

Discuss.

[Apostrophe Spacemonkey]

If only.

Freelancer 2 would be awesome.

Maybe one day i'll make it.

If you ever run out of ideas or anything with Warspace, give Majest of Omega a look

http://majestyofomega.codeplex.com/

Absolutely incredible. Shame it doesnt do anything just yet

Edit: Im not saying that you should give up, I just think that Warspace could easily do everything Majesty of Omega does except with a much friendlier interface
