Favorite Game?

I like Trader best, but Version 2 IMHO is much better. The interface is friendlier, although cash is easier to get with loteries and special events and all. Pirates are therefore less of a menace.

What's Version 2?

Go to Stormcloudcreations.com.
They have the demo of Interstellar Trader 2.

I wasn't sure if I was allowed to advertise my own related products on my own site here, but since someone already mentioned it...

Yes, I self-published a sequel to Interstellar Trader, about 8 months ago, before Shrapnel's offer came to fruition. Trader 2 adds and changes quite a bit about the game based on customer input and suggestions (and complaints, of course). More starting money, more special encounters, more combat control and more investment choices, upgraded graphics and information display/interface improvements.

Feel free to check it out if you wish.

Thanks HEMAN! I appreciate both your kind support and your great ideas for additions to the Trader game. To be honest, i'm not too sure about the future of the Trader 2 game (whether Shrapnel will want that game as well) and the franchise itself; if I do add stuff on the level you wrote me about (yes, I read your great e-mail), it would change the fabric of the game quite a bit, and I would probably do a whole new sequel rather than as an add-on.

I'm trying out new directions with my next secret project (which based on earlier conversations with Shrapnel, they're interested in publishing as well). To HEMAN and all readers/lurkers: When more details develop, watch here for them!

I just played a little bit the Trader II. I am really impressed. Now i would wish just only 2 things for this game:

- a "certain" distance from one planet to another. This means I can calculate the fuel usage. Also fine would be a %chance estimation if pirates (and what kind of pirates) are attacking at a certain "route" or planet or not. In this way I can decide if I travel along more dangerous pirate infested routes or along more saver routes for trading.

- planet should provide similar goods for trading the most time I am visiting them. Or have just a certain amount of native produced goods.

all in all a really fine game

Thanks KlausD! I appreciate it. As you can see, I actually did incorporate some of the stuff you mentioned in your earlier post about Trader 1, and other players mentioned (more combat control, etc). Of course with the cool new visuals and interfaces it cost roughly 10X what Trader 1 cost to make.
