Starfury - new beta screenshots posted!!

[David E. Gervais]

StarFury is expected to be out by this summer (2003) and SE5 is expected for Summer 2004. Aaron is more than capable to boil more than one pot at a time. For example, while coding Starfury he also works on the design aspect of SE5. When the coding for Strafury is completed he will be ready to jump right into the coding of SE5.

Think of it this way, Starfury is in the final stages of 'Production' (also known as the 'Beta' phase) SE5 is currently in 'Pre-Production' (known as the 'design' phase which includes both gameplay and visual design work!) When Starfury goes into 'Post-Production' SE5 will be ready to begin the 'Production' phase. (Note: A good Beta-test team can greatly reduce the amount of time required for the 'Post-Production' {patching} and therefore free Aaron to concentrate on SE5.)

I have every confidance in Aaron and the people that form his dev-team.

..just my 2 cents!

Cheers!

The biggest (and also the worst disaster) I have ever been a part of was when I sent 200 ships to assault an enemy (religious) planet.

My whole fleet got wiped out, except for the handful of support ships with "run away" orders, and the 10,000kt Battlemoon, which suffered heavy armor damage.

Is Aaron going to actually have a dev team for planning/coding this time, or are you referring to the sounds & graphics guys such as yourself?

It sounds a lot like Freelancer (only more intriquing, cuz of the Space Empires universe). Well is it then... like Freelancer?

Also, two minor, but important questions..

1) I can tell from the "feature-list" that it is going to be "mod-able", but are there any limitations as to what we can do? It is certainly different from Space Empires. Will I be able to make my own starship in say Gmax and import it to Starfury?

2) Why do all the new replies pop at the beginning of a thread, instead of at the end? Can I change this?

Greetz,

2) You can use the "printer- friendly Version", but once you get used to it, you will come to love this system New replies are always right at the top where you can see 'em.

1) There will always be some sort of limit, but it should be moddable like SE4; shipsets, components, storyline, etc.

Yes, you caught me! I was giving myself some covert praise! (a proverbial pat on the back!) I guess I should have 'cloaked' or 'camoflaged' but not both! Ah well, live and learn as they say. If I keep this up I'll be real smart, real soon!

Cheers!
