35% Off Offer and Some Other Information

Hi Everyone

I am sorry for the slow response from everyone. We been working hard getting everything ready.

Let me first say that this is a serious enchanced version of Starshatter and not a complete new game. We have done over year and half improving the AI, adding movies to enchanced the story lines, voice overs, SFX and a lot more. I expect some new press coverage on Starshatter - The Gathering Storm very soon.

Now we have some big new to our customers of Starshatter the Original Release. We will be offering a 35% off discount to any one that has a valid serial number to Starshatter. The offer will last until some time in January 2007. More details will be available when the game is launched.

David

The v/o should be lots of fun but I'll be interested in what changes you've made to the AI :) there were one or two problematic spots with pathfinding logic that you've hopefully resolved. Large ships moving through jump gates (as Matty pointed out) and fighter recovery crashes.

 I love the offset landing bays in the Hegemon carrier. Looks fantastic, especially with the hazard tape detailing. The artwork is really spades.


Diverging for a moment.

 By the time I hit the last few chapters in 4.0 I was jumping system to system without ending mission. Each time I would perform a patterened sweep clearing the enemy spacecraft. This approach broke a fair number of triggers. This was before the limited hull repair was instituted but in general once I hit the cap ships I didn't need to check in with HQ at all.

Cool, I was a bit worried about how much I would have to pay for the overhauld version after just recently buying the current starshatter. I'm looking forward to seeing an active community in here, its a bit on the quite side now.

I tried to use the 35% promo code, however when I apply it to the physical + download, it applies the price, but then doubles the order, in effect adding $20 to the regular price, rather than taking 35% off.

Physical alone or Download alone work fine with the promo.

I've posted a thread about it (and sent a few emails, which resulted in "Call to place your order").

It's a good, deal, but you might want to get it fixed before someone ends up paying double.

No problem. Just FYI, I've tested it on two separate computers, and both firefox and ie.
