Reply to "Little things" that we expect in Founders Starbase StarControl Forums

Story telling that begins in the middle of things is called "In medias res" and is a good way to write a story or novel. The backstory and background are usually explained as flashbacks or by some other sort of mechanism and are integrated into the story. A story that begins with "Once upon a time" can be quite boring and then you have all the back story explained and by the time you get to the action well, chances are you won't because you would have stopped re

Reply to The planet design in Founders Starbase StarControl Forums

I also believe that the planets are a tad too exaggerated in scale. But I think it would be fine to be able to visually see the planets in such a way AFTER they have been scanned and explored and not before. All visible features should be removed and only the color pattern left. So Blue for water, Brown for earth, Grey for rocks, Green for vegetation, Yellow for desert, Red for lava and/or volcanoes, white for snow/ice. And cloud cover should be u

Reply to Timed Quests in Founders Starbase StarControl Forums

Hello everyone! I have a suggestion. Perhaps a time-travel method could be implemented in the game similar to what happens in "Harry Potter", or in "Final Fantasy XIII-2" / "UQ Holder". That's basically 2 techniques. 1/ Twin manifestation - In Harry Potter you have the 3 kids shadow their own selves and help themselves to return to the future at the same point in time. 2/ Singularity manifestation - You travel to your past self w

Reply to SC2 and SCR in Founders Starbase StarControl Forums

Hello all, I really do like supermelee as a fan of SCII. But it is true that is not what has attracted and made converts of us.

Reply to How many founders there are? (More or less) in Founders Starbase StarControl Forums

Wow I'm actually surprised and honored. When I got the invitation email and saw the price tag I was wondering if it had all been a marketing scheme. After all the survey did ask for how many Steam Games I own... and I own over 200 games in steam.... plus a couple dozen outside of steam. But then again maybe they want dedicated people that CAN pay for the game. Still it feels good to know that it wasn't some s

Reply to Star Control - Introduce yourself in Galactic Community Stardock Forums

Hello, I'm happy to see so many SCI and SCII fans here (safe to assume there are no fans of SCIII? So let's delete that from history). I too played SC2 around 90's back in highschool and it certainly had the right mix of adventure, battles, story, characters, and mystery ! It was my favorite game and I've lost count on how many times I have replayed it. It was fun getting to know the lore, exploring
