<t>Sounds really good overall. I personally am indifferent to the Doomsday Seed idea, but I know a number of others thought it would be the greatest thing since sliced bread (if the giant forum topic and other mentionings are any indication). However I believe you are correct in saying it would ...

I would assume it would come with some sort of manual... after all, people don't usually seal a CD in box and put it one the shelves and call it a game.

<B><s>[b]</s>Anything on the surface of a planet has been changed into a kind of heads-up display presentation. Cities are now represented in this fashion. Think of it as the computer projecting an image over a planet for targetting ...

<t>Wow, the ships and planets and such look very good indeed. But what are the little icons at the center of some of the planets? Do they have something to do with the status of cities? (Their tech level?) And what about those cities anyway? Are you still working on the graphics for them or are you ...

I think the price is right.

<t>I tried to download the 1280x1024 version and the download would start but then it would complete instantly so that there really wasn't anything there. The zip archive that resulted was 0 bytes in size so naturally it wouldn't unzip.<br/>

Just in case it might have been IE's fault I tried ...

WooHOO this is going to be good!

<r>Also who is going to do the music and what style are you going to use? It would seem to me that it could go two ways, either orchestral or spacial techno-trance. So as far as requests go I would say contract Jeremy Soule for the former (he has done a lot of game music so you should recognize the ...

Yeah he is.

As usual your art rules Vaaish. <img src="cool.gif" border="0">

Mmmmm screenshots. <img src="biggrin.gif" border="0">

Heh, I've been playing it for almost three days now and it's only crashed once. And the lag isn't too bad although at times it becomes unplayable, but I expect that out of my 56k.

<r>I have to take a break from playing Id Software's Return to Castle Wolfenstein Multiplayer Test. I have been completely smitten by this game. It 0wnz me. I see it whenever I close my eyes.<br/>

Id has done an excellent job of recreating the atmosphere of the second world war... the uniforms ...

And still no sign of that deathmatching minigame Andrew was considering... oh well I get enough multiplayer action out of my FPSs and RTSs.

I should hope that all the work that people in the old forum have done in formulating and revising ideas will at least come into consideration.

And two days later... still there.

<t>I am eager to see what Matrix does with the old engine. The lack of graphical and multimedia quality was the key problem with the original STUN. Not that I would mind a few Star Trek sound effects here and there for old times' sake. Although I'm sure that would result in a legal tussel with ...

Good to hear. He would also make a good moderator. I was very impressed with the way he handled his duties on the Apezone.com stun forums.

Good to see version 2 is coming along. I notice you're using Vaaish's art in the screenshots (logo and box). Will you be bringing him on to do more art for the game? (I know he's already done a number of ship classes that, in my opinion, look very good indeed.)
