I might just be dense, but I couldn't find any message boards at that link.

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.

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

of course the button with the big green and white writing on the main page is kind of a dead giveaway

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.

Hey folks!

Just thought I would pop in and post some update links for any of you that are still interested.


New interview on a spanish site, don't worry the link is to the english version.

http://jdejuegos.com/jestrategia/sots/sots_art_b02.htm

And some new screens for said interview.

http://jdejuegos.com/jestrategia/sot...&y=1&p=1&g=001

The human backstory for SotS has also been added.

http://www.kerberos-productions.com/sots.shtml

as well as many more details of the 3 alien races of SotS being discussed in this alien topic.

http://www.kerberos-productions.com/...r=asc&start=15

Take care and feel free to ask any questions here as I do keep checking in when I can.

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.
