Just sent in my ten bucks for a copy. I was a designer for Dune II so if you need any help please drop me a line ..
ReplyDeleteHey Brent,
ReplyDeletegood luck with the kickstarter.
In your description you avoided any note about AI at all. ;-)
Im still worried if this game will be playable in singleplayer at all.
Maybe some money could go into that direction, getting someone to help with the AI stuff?
Anyway good luck!

Wow, thanks for all of your support!
ReplyDeleteSledge Hammer, I didn't avoid mentioning AI, the kickstarter is focused on gaining funds to purchase art assets for the game. It's a given that 4X games should have AI, which is why I didn't think to mention it. Yes, if the funding exceeds the goal, I would like to hire some outside developers to assist me in developing the game (sounds, AI, etc).
Well, over 10% funded on the first day. Very nice!
ReplyDeleteIn the FAQ you say "There's a lot of FPS engines, RPG engines, but no 4X engines that I know of.". I have not tried it but Thousand Parsec claims to be framework for building 4X games.
ReplyDeleteI never heard of Thousand Parsec, so I went and took a look. It looks like it only have galaxy generation, graphics rendering, and fleet movement? I don't see any production, development, technologies, battles, ship designing, etc. I could be wrong though, but it don't look like a complete 4X game.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on reaching 50% so quickly!
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to seeing it succeed soon!
