See the thin red line, just under the logo. About the middle of there the link to the forum, which is a board with messages on. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

It is not a very friendly color scheme, black on dark red... Very little contrast.

Re: Sword of the Stars? (New 4x game apparently)
 

of course the button with the big green and white writing on the main page is kind of a dead giveaway http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

and as an added bonus, a new gameplay video. Who loves ya?

Yes, on the Home page it is easy to see (and has a nice "Image Comics" feel to it I might add). But your previous links were to the SOTS page where as Fyron said, it's hard to see. Make it white or pink please.

Registered to forums.

Looking forward to a beta or something to play with.

I need demo! Must show off shiney new video card to Playstation owning friends!

Re: Sword of the Stars? (New 4x game apparently)
 

get halflife 2 or doom 3 then! this game looks cool, but it does not look like it will be a challenge on the graphics!

Re: Sword of the Stars? (New 4x game apparently)
 

Well...we don't want to leave older cards behind and so have a nice scale of fx...but the thing to remember is that HL2 or D3 are all about the background sets...they only run a couple dozen fx at the same time on a screen. With a full fleet battle in SotS with shields, cloaking, damage venting, explosions and dozens of weapons systems. It runs 10 or 20 times more fx than a shooter.
