Alien speech fonts. Assigned them to ships. xD in Founders Starbase StarControl Forums

Since not all aliens were revealed and I had the urge to personify them with fonts, I just took the sucky quality ships pic, used the best of my imagination and assigned some cool fonts to them. I might be totally wrong in my descriptions and associations, don't judge too harshly. :P [img]https://s3.postimg.cc/6zi0khy9v/Fonts_1_3.png[/img] 1 - Extremely advanced, mastered the power of nuclear fusion = font is clean, concise, perfect. 1 - Ancient,

The more I look at this interface details the less I like it. It's very Retro and not in a good sense Retro. Something doesn't feel right about those curves and wasted space between UI elements. That dirty purple background isn't making it better either. I pray Hyperspace isn't purple now... I'll give it a week. Maybe it'll grow on me. Oh yeah, icons/smiles are broken too.

^ I think I know where you're getting... I'm sure the "balance" will be discussed when we actually get to press buttons. So, here's more brain movement from me: With "Dynamic response" and RPS (rock, paper, scissors/nemesis) ship balance (SC2) I see a lot most of the online matches go like this: Players pick their first ships. Loser (let's say P1) picks the perfect counter, winner (P2)

1. Deck (all dynamic response will do is make you pick a counter everytime = no pre-fight strategy = brain dead ship picks every time) 2. 1 vs 1 (I like pure combat experience) 3. When combat starts I'd like to assess my environment, so I want my camera to be MAX zoomed out to see the whole arena. If ships become very small (due to large arena area) - drop a marker so I can see the opponents ship orientation. I'd also like a READY - FIGHT countdown. Then zoom in to the

[quote who="LORD-ORION" reply="42" id="3654102"] An Ur-Quan dreadnought with its "Launch Fighters" and Pew Pew Pew fusion blaster is easily the most recognizable aspect of star control. Are you saying that this is NOT in this game? Jesus Christ. [/quote] No worries, you'll come around. Like 99% of the Founders.

Reply to A big high-five to the Founders so far! in Founders Starbase StarControl Forums

What can I say? "A smart man learns from his own mistakes. A wise one learns from the mistakes of others" - Some smartass. Please, in your decision on plot reveal to improve it do not reveal critical points . Or maybe ask questions about them as vaguely as possible. We still want to be surprised and play an unspoiled game. Thank you, very much!! Melee - first come, first serve? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="12" id="3654078"] The goal is to give people a sneak preview of what the gameplay is like. The Civ trailers referred to here came out less than 5 months before the game shipped. Star Control is a year away still. So this is a gameplay teaser. [/quote] Then as I said before. Maybe try adding an items/upgrades manipulation screen/view and it's totally ready to go. (I'd change the music to something more enga

[quote who="IBNobody" reply="34" id="3654028"] It just dawned on me... Without local multiplayer, it will be impossible for me to play against my family during the alpha/beta even if I caved and loaded it on a second PC. I will only have one key.

[quote who="IBNobody" reply="4" id="3654017"] After watching the video... (Which took an awful long time to download, much longer than a 700MB file should.) [0:55] I DID NOT like the plant lengthening shadow effects I saw on the planetary orbit screen. Get rid of them. Heck, I shouldn't even see trees and grass from orbit.

I'm in YES shadows LOW/MINIMAL fidelity crowd. Are the vid shadows High fidelity/resource hogs? If yes, then dumb them down, but don't get rid of them completely. I really loved shadows + lighting "play" when lander was going around dunes in the vid [0:38-0:42]. MUSIC. I'm not sure if trailer was supposed to have it, 'cause it doesn't. Ok, it does, but it's so subtle that I took it for ambient effects. It's way

I think this would work better than the current system: Stardock creates a thread with a picture, video, music or whatever and asks a question. We discuss the presented material. Do it weekly or bi-weekly if super busy. How long can it possibly take to make a post?.. 1 (ONE) post a week or 2 Bi-weekly. Does it make sense? Everything will be organized from the get go and Stardock will have full control on format of the threads. And month-end updat

As I said waaaay back, I got in but the copies ran out before I could scrape together enough to afford the "Lifetime" Founder Edition, if they are opening up new positions I would love to still participate in the program, my love for this project has still not diminished!
