Cool news! I remember playing GalCiv on OS/2 back in the day! Looking forward to seeing where it goes!

Awesome to hear! Instant purchase for alpha access! Been a fan since GalCiv on OS/2 and was in the alpha for Windows (made it into the credits, woo!) [e digicons]\o/[/e]
i've had the hd4850 for awhile now... only probablem ive had is it gets VERY hot!
[quote quoting="Frogboy"] If you are finding yourself enjoying the game, you should probably not play beyond beta 1 as future updates, will be so much more fun by comparison that it may cause permanent damage. [/quote] AHHHHHHHHH! I like the archer dude... he's not so good at the start but after getting some good quipment he can certainly do a lot of damaga, especialy if he's with another guy who can watch his back and stun the enemy if needed.
I've had good performace as well, but has anyone else noticed that every once in awhile late in game everything seems to just stop for a few seconds... the animations and everything are still working, everything seems smooth but all the enemies just sit there and so do you, seems kinda like lag but I'm hosting the game and playing against AI. Specs: Intel Q6600 4GB Ram HD4850(1GB ram) XP 32bit
I don't want to post much about the gameplay in beta one, but I'll give *some* of my first impressions. Fun... haha, even playing against bots. There were a few texture glitches with the options where they would turn black, I'll take a screenshot next time because this might be more of the type of issue to report in beta one. It's very hard to cancel attacking and get my unit away, if I click to move away he starts then stops and starts shotting again...
I haven't had any crashes or problems either, running on all max settings(except for resolution) with Intel Quad Q6600 4GB Ram HD4850 (1GB) XP 32bit(so really only 3.5gb ram) ... gonna upgrade real soon to 64bit.
Two questions: What can we look for in the future regarding AMD/ATi's tools for developers? [HR] What progress has AMD/ATi made with Fusion? Are you getting the increased performance you were hoping to get by combining the CPU and GPU?
[quote who="Annatar11" comment="6"] Pre-order! Join us in the beta! *jedi hand wave* [/quote] YES!... ohh wait, already did... but that trailer would have made me do it for sure. awesome!
https://www.galciv2.com/myaccount.aspx gives me an asp compilation error: Compilation Error Description: An error occurred during the compilation of a resource required to service this request.

from the forums if you click on the "Download" link you goto http://www.demigodthegame.com/download.asp which gives a 404, it should be http://www.demigodthegame.com/downloads.asp instead, i didn't see this on any of the other pages.
Ohh, I'm looking forward to it... getting a new computer here real soon(new job, yay!), any hardware or OS you might need more testing with? edit: just pre-ordered :-)
Ohh! Good article... I just started a new job and I'm working from home... it is very different then Im used to and I'm trying very hard not to get distracted easily(Haha, like reading JoeUser right now...). I got a new desk and chair and that helped a lot, I think I need to get some good noise blocking headphones if any of my room mates come home when I'm still working so they don't distract me.
I think Direct2Drive is a pretty big player in it... there was/is also File Planet's subscriptions which can sometimes get you free games, it was one of the earlier sites I saw doing something like this(I think this turned into Direct2Drive?)... Mobile games have a pretty good way of distribution, send a text and get a download, not the same catagory but it's pretty neat. I also saw a site that has downloadable game rentals, or you can get them shipped, I think for a more casual
Sweet! I'm excited now!
thats awesome! reminds me of Clue looking at it! lord kona in the great room with the battle axe :-D
I don't know of any free airplane art but there are a lot of free good textures available at http://www.spiralgraphics.biz/packs/ Good luck!
[quote]There is a show stopper bug on this screen. See if you can find it. Gotta go look into it...[/quote] The mini-map location isn't being displayed? Maybe its the image quality though and you are so far zoomed in I can't see it?
Yea... I don't see why they are stopping the show... I probably watch the food network too much... they better not get rid of Takeshi Kaga!! (Haha, check out my avatar! :D)
[quote]In other words, just how does this sort of thing work? [/quote] Just head over to http://pandora.com/ and make sure you have flash installed, its all done in the browser!
I used to use deezer when it was blogmusik and it was much better than, they didn't limit playing any songs but they probably had huge legal problems... now I just use last.fm or iTunes. Everyone should check out last.fm if they haven't yet!
Awesome! I missed out on this too and just tried it out, works great! Worked fine for my google for domains account.
I think PC gaming has the huge advantage of being able to include mods and user created content a lot more easily. Take GalCiv2 for example, the custom ships and mods that you can download are all great. One of my favorite games, Morrowind, has tons and tons of mods that you don't get to use on the console versions. What is dissapointing though is the requirements on newer games is just insane, I wish I could say the same about Oblivion but I haven't been able to try out the mods beca
This looks great! I'm really interested in the idea of submitting software, is your goal to be an alternative to sites like Plimus and RegNow, or is it still more of a distributor/portal type of deal? I can see how its probably somewhere in between, which would really be a great idea!
With the rise of Apple any chance we'll see SD make some software for OS/X? It was funny to read over that and compare it to how much my use of computers has changed over the past year. For awhile I had linux installed on a flash drive and I could boot up on it on just about any computer, it wasn't very nice to have to reboot and wait though so I just started e-mailing docu
