Where are we at with SE:V?

[thorfrog]

I was wondering were we are at with SE:V? I've piecing this together but I still cannot find a definative post that lists all new features and improved features. Even Malfador's site doesn't say any thing. So how about we start are own confirmed features. Then add and remove as testing completes. Here is what I can tell will be in the up coming game:
-3D graphics and combat
-Improved ship design
-Governments types that effect game play
-Homeworlds

Does anyone else have a more detailed list?

[Captain Kwok]

Sure do.

Check http://www.captainkwok.net/se5info.php

I do have an updated list but I need to get MM's approval before I can post it.

[thorfrog]

Oh, cool.

Thanks!

Other than what MM has said in some public chats (cited by Kwok) there is no substantial information. For good reason. It's changing all the time. The beta is a pretty wild ride at the moment. He strips something out and a bunch of us complain while others cheer. He posts a question on whether something ought to be added or changed and we debate pro and con out to 10 pages or more (the beta forum is sort of like this one where the threads get paginated). It's chaos. ANY list produced now is guaranteed not to resemble the finished product.

i was promised 2x the nudity, and if its taken out of the final release, im going to find a different game to play.

and thats that.

Frankly unless there are space monkeys, and lots of them, it will be a crushing disappointment.

Of course if there are space monkeys wearing fezs then the game is destined for the greatest critical aclaim and success.

Its a simple formula really.

[Possum]

Right, nude space monkeys, wearing fez's

Wait, if they're wearing a fez, are they really nude?

My, are we bored here, or what?

Well, then, here's something for your entertainment

OFFICIAL STATEMENT FROM STRATEGY FIRST GAMING

Dear fans of Space Empires IV and V, we here at Strategy First wish to thank you all for your emails and comments about our up coming new titles however it is with a heavy heart that we must announce that do to fiscal cut backs here at Strategy First, the on going development of Space Empires V has been placed on hold. The light at the end of the tunnel had to be turned off and for that we sincerely appologize. - SF CEO

No its only twice the nudity, not completely.

The monkeys get to keep the fezs and waistcoats. Any fez wearing monkey should have a waistcoat, its practically a law.

We (the beta testers) can't really say what the sys. requirements will be. Mostly for 2 reasons:

1: We are in the early beta testing phase, so as the game changes (which it invariably will) the system requirements would probably change slightly. And...

2: I'm not sure, but it may be a violation of the NDA we all had to sign if we were to speculate on something like the possible system spec's needed prematurely. It may lead to unrealistic expectations (and more importantly, might lead to me getting kicked out of the beta! )

So you're not likely to get an answer on the likely system spec's required, since only beta testers and Malfador would know, and probably aren't allowed to tell.

As for cost, I think only Malfador and Strategy First are privy to that information at this time.

Sorry I can't help you out very much!
