    DaDakota, what are the necessary tools, skillwise, to be a decent computer game programmer? Someone told me once that 60% of it is artistic talent (of which I have little). I am currently seeking a degree in Computer Science, and have all but given up on becoming a computer games designer/programmer, but I am still interested in what it takes.

    There is an early version of the demo that was released to fansites...I can get you a copy, as the actual demo won't be out for a few weeks yet.

    Ravin,

    The skill required are mostly being able to work well with others, and be a good 3d Programmer.

    Voice,

    I was also a Producer/Designer on Starlancer, and the voice of the trainer..

    If Clutch does not mind, I can post the demo here, and you can download it, it is about 30mg before extraction.

    The Credits are completly wrong, that is why this is an EARLY unreleased version.

    Thanks RU for the site.

    Let me know your first impressions in this thread.

    Also, there is another preview at www.strategyplanet.com

    Keep trying. MySpace can be sloooooooow. I finally got mine d/l'd earlier today, but of course had to go watch THE game.

    I'll install it tomorrow probably and see what it's like.

    Your game looks very impressive. I play alot of games and this looks really fun. I'm going to download it tonight. I just thought I would get your expert opinion of one of my favorites: Sacrifice, that game has been taking up alot of my time lately.
    Thanks

    well I liked the game(demo) it was fun, and easy to learn. easy to play as well. so I give it a playability rating of 9. seriously, I had ZERO problems getting around.

    like I asked you(mentioned) in the chat, I am a huge fan of large playing fields, or big game maps. the demo only allows 5 systems which ammounts to 16 planets. I think you mentioned that the full version has up to 12 systems. this would be more fun, but if you play with the 8 possible players it is still a bit cramped. it dosnt feel cramped much at all, well at least not till you harvest most of the systems resources. than it becomes a matter of which empire has the most planets with refineries built on them. it is deffinately a fairly quick play. you can get a ton accomplished in a short time. probably alot of fun in multiplayer.
    game play score honestly:7

    longevity:4 I think I would play this one out in about a week. I do not know the full extent of the full version, however this is the kind of game that I play to death quickly.

    overall it is a cool game. I give it a 6.5 I think this is the kind of game that if a sequal is made it would be a kick ass game. well kick ass if you listen to your fan base anyway [​IMG]

    peace

    VOR,

    That is just the demo, the full game has 3 races, a random map generator, where you don't know where ANYTHING is, or how it is connected, and has the ability to play on up to 16 systems at one time.

    A 6.5 on a demo...dang dude, you are harsh.
