Although Yann and I are still working on marketing the game, I thought now would be a good time to start this thread. So here is what the prequel will roughly look like:- Campaign of six missions, with an introduction to the alien species. - Expect commander Haggas (in charge of the Artemis), to appear many times throughout the campaign. - Ships up to Hydra in Space Dock (though controllable ships may reach the Cerberus). - Challenge game mode (few units, lots of strategy, just like Clinkzbone has mentioned in a different thread). - You will be controlling the "Poseidon", the third of the Sovereign class ships. Issues:- Yann is currently very busy with work, so we can't expect lots of additions in terms of new ships/stations/turrets, if any. However, different ship/turret combos are still possible. - The tutorial mission will have to (yet again) be redesigned. Clearly the tutorial in AE is now part of the story, it wouldn't make sense to use it for FC as well. Actual Progress:- The story has been roughly outlined. - Programming environment has been setup. - Revived "Beginnings" with the new engine (see image). Attachments:

So the Artemis looks like the mothership from AE and I assume the Poseidon does too? The ship on the right looks similar to an alien carrier but has more EDF colours. What about doing a Kickstarter or something with some stretch goals for extra things. I would happily support that and could post a link in some forums.
Will the prequel still work on old devices?

Will the prequel still work on old devices? - Regarding the Poseidon, yes, but if Yann has some time, perhaps he can make a few modifications. The Artemis will not be a Sovereign class ship. - No Kickstarter funding necessary here. It's quite doable, since it mostly relies on existing content (no new graphics / features), only new missions. - It will run on the same devices AE runs on, it's still the same game engine. |

Just thought maybe with a kickstarter you could get a bit more from the game. Maybe set yourself and yann up for a few sequels because we would all love more sequels since this is the only game of it's type on the appstore last time I checked. What type of ship is the artemis then? like the titan?

When i read the progress on the prequel I felt a bit disappointed because from the past game there is not a lot of changes except new story and 6 new missions but that doesn't mean things can change in the future. If you had already started on this game project that means my idea I put earlier (Fan RTS) probably will not make it. Last, when do you think a beta of the game will be released.

Idea: there is storms in real life, even in space.

Still have to read the whole "Ideas for a sequel" thread. The prequel will mainly serve to support "Alien Encounter" and will probably not include any new tech. Perhaps there will be a sequel at some point, but only perhaps. It'll largely depend on how well the game does over the coming months. |

Hows the progress? I would love to test the beta but recently ive moved on from apple and got into android, do you think you can open a place for funding? So this amazing game can come to android? I suspect it shouldent be too much work, just optimization to fit the os. If it is more work then that thenxits fully up to you. Hope your progress is great!

Ihate how i cant take a nuke to lvl 1 ... It was so funny Omg i know the feeling something I adored in the alien encounter game was that i could take my entire battle fleet to lvl 1 and kick alien butt and take names.... soooo fun top of the it made grinding certain levels for mulas soooooooo much easier .... like i had a hope of getting the behemoth but after the update basicly nerfed grinding.... well  i lost hope of obtaining it... though i still play the game (ive been playing it btw like 3 months after the release) so devs pleasassseeee make it so we can take units to beginning lvls.... btw i hope the prequel doesnt turn out like galaxy on fire 3 greatly disappointed me (gof2 was awesome but gof3 well kinda flopped) |
