OOC Chat

[SWSF Hoppus]

Don't know if anyone has bothered to look into the developers area, but things are coming along very nicely.

The first version of the app will allow people to move units and attack worlds, and the battle summaries will be posted to the planet's thread. So essentially, you'll have to manually handle your finances yet and build units, but then deploying them into combat is automated.

Once it's all done I'll write up some documentation about how it works - there is some tactical nuance to how to use units and form fleets for attack/defense, which I think people should appreciate.

I am going to need help creating unit specs. Anyone with gaming experience (especially CIVILIZATIONS III) that's interested in helping out, please let me know.

I am thinking that we might be able to be testing the application in February.

The next stage is putting construction, resource harvesting, and all that fun stuff into the game so EVERYTHING is in the app/game. The forum would be only for storylines and chat, I guess.

Anyway, hope there will be people around to use it when it is ready...

  I check in semi-often still and intend to continue community participation and content creation at varying degrees of activity until I'm dead ;p


  So long as you got the format/template you want specs done in I can help no prob whenever it comes to that.

Look at me with all my big talk of being able to post more. SWSF is the child I continue to promise to make it to recitals and games for, and I continue to get drunk at the local 99 instead. But it's still here! There is always hope.

I just skimmed through the game development forum. Sounds intriguing, though I can't say that I'll be able to volunteer for anything. I'll be interested to help play-test the final product though.

They gave the Rebel Firebird to the god damn Cowboys?! 

A Rancor is what Detroit needs to break the curse.  Suh is more like a Gamorrean. 

Ewok/Chiefs pairing is by far most appropriate, logo alone Wookies!

  Every time I pay off a load of credit card debt I treat myself to something special to get the ball rolling again.  This time I had to think of home decor!

I keep telling my beloved that the real value is the misprint Ages range label in the upper right.  It's supposed to say 24 and up.     Snarf Snarf

Chris Hardwick (of the Nerdist Podcast and Talking Bad, etc.) wrote this cool article about 74 things every Star Wars movie needs. Definitely a cool checklist that could be useful for crafting our own stories!

May the Fourth be with us.

   Full Star Wars Rebels Trailer out for it.  I have to say, it looks just plain awesome.

It'll probably be years before I watch it since I don't get cable. It looks interesting enough, and the "look" of it looks right. Though one of the characters has some sort of electric wrist slingshot, so that's kind of a downer in my book, but it is more for kids.

Looks like it's going to be on the same production level as Clone Wars, which is good stuff.

I seem to recall LucasArts toying with the idea of a Han Solo-focused TV show a while back, but it looks like this Rebels show scratches the smuggler itch that many fans have as a result of Firefly methinks.
