You can download it via this link. Description is inside of the zip. 1.18mb. I was just experimenting and this game is incomplete. I tried to render the first contact with the cylons as boomer in raptor with galactica's fighter squadron. Enjoy..

I can see this being quite fun once the bugs are ironed out. Keep at it :)

Thank you :) I'm working hard on the engine. Gonna write the poor/buggy scripts all over. Made great achievement on particles and psychics. Added few things to navigation. And AI is getting good everyday. Added an aggressiveness factor, which is valued randomly at first. It determines the way of enemy/friendly ships movements and actions. Going to make it change in the course of battle. Getting much eager and eager to work on viper/raider launching. Progress is slow but certain and still, its a project only to train myself and enjoy you:p But I already planed to do some other stuff after this one.

You need to get rid of the Valkyrie you're using and replace it with a proper one.

http://img215.imageshack.us/img215/1945/valkyrie10bp2.jpg

That's a reasonably accurate version, there. Got one in the works for Diaspora that's very accurate, but that one's not ready yet. However the ship doesn't look like the version you're using, that variant was made back when the only reference of the ship available was a blurry distance shot from "Hero", and it's completely wrong.
You might try contacting infinity over on sfm, he'd probably render you a top view of the ship for the game.

This is what i have used: http://images.tribe.net/tribe/upload/photo/561/fda/561fda70-d6bf-478a-8d2d-6551e79fb295 Which I believe it's from Zoic. But not sure.

It's not from Zoic. Take a look at the pic, it says who the author is - the same guy who made the reworked version later.
Zoic had nothing to do with the Valkyrie, either - it was made by the inhouse team (however the pic you linked was made by a fan on sfm, infinity - it's not official in any way).
There's a reason why infinity reworked the Valkyrie - he acquired better references for the ship. The first version was based only on the blurry shots from "hero" which simply don't do the ship justice. Trust me, I built one for Diaspora and know that ship like the back of my hand - the first infinity's variant - the one you used - doesn't look remotely like the real thing. "Small details" like it not having 6 engines but 4 aside, the real one really looks a lot better. Just look at the shots from "the plan" and you'll see the one you used really isn't accurate at all. Which is why it needs to go :)

Infinity238 gave me this one. Same ship with roll bar. http://img697.imageshack.us/img697/641/valkyrieortho.jpg Anyway, I won't be able to work on it on holiday and next week. I have exams whole next week. I have to study or I'll lose my bursary:p

Hmm, might want to try and photoshop the rollbar out - or ask him for a version without one. TBH I find that it looks pretty bad, but that aside, the only time we ever saw the rollbar was in "Razor" when the ships were docked. We saw several of these ships again out of the dock in "the plan" and they didn't have any rollbars - you'd think at least some would have it. My theory is that the rollbar is some sort of engine diagnostics / maintenance package they attach while the ship is in dock. Anyway, up to you..

Ha you just don't want that thing stuck to your baby :P

That's true, I don't want that hideous thing anywhere near my ship :P At any rate, fact remains that the we've now seen the ship class out of the dock on more then one occasion, and none of them have it - and we've seen a fleet of them in "the plan". We've only ever seen the ugly thing in "Razor", slapped on while the ships are in dock. How you want to interpret that is up to you - my reasoning is, it's a drydock thing.

That's not a rollbar, it's a spoiler. It's a tuned battlestar. It's got neon lights underneath and golden rims. :lol:

Maybe it's the Battlestar Xzibit.

<Nov 13> [13:26] StarSlayer: Actually newman i think its a spoiler not a rollbar, I bet if you looked at the bow there is a big Intercooler scoop for the turbocharger and its got underbody LEDs

EDIT: I mmade this with photshop but I prefer keep the rollbar. But afterall you have to choose it's your project :)

..but I prefer keep the rollbar.

?! It looks like someone tried to put a cocktail bar between the engines - ridiculous. It was a horrible, horrible idea that looked like crap, apparently even the people who came up with it thought so since it was shown once and never again. That one time was in dock, so.. I'd advise against the frakking cocktail bar.
Title: Re: BSG Flash Game
Post by: Richard on November 22, 2009, 01:09:20 pm
Ah XD yes Like a cocktail bar ^^
I can't replace this "cocktail bar" I'm not very strong with photoshop...
If anyone can delete this rollbar and repllace it by the missing part of the engines he can take my png.

 :) It's not a BSG game anymore. :) I'm working on a real-time strategy game with the same engine. I'm afraid I don't have anything to show. But I will when I can! :)
Title: Re: BSG Flash Game
Post by: ibanez on February 03, 2011, 04:22:11 am
Hey guys, I'm watching diaspora development very close. Last trailer is freaking awesome. Can't wait to play but that's not what I have come to say, heres what I promised almost a year ago :) I'm still working on this on my very little spare time. It's a true Real-Time Strategy game where we battle head-on with the computer controlled enemy forces for conquering planets to colonize or sack and build new spacecrafts or turrets for the defense of our planets with the income or to replenish the ranks. :)

Sounds cool? isn't it. I hope I will be able to finnish this someday. :)

Spacecrafts:

 I planned on 2 fighters, 1 frigate, 1 cruiser, 1 battery turret, 1 flak turret, 1 mining ship, 1 colonizing ship and a space station for building new ships. No ideas on enemy ships or style. I'm missing cruiser, flak turret and mining ship on the human side. I'm pretty slow with the 2d graphic stuff. I'm working on the AI mostly. Never though RTS unit AI would be this hard :)

Weapons:

Cannon: Simple yet very effective against big targets. Used in fighters.
Battery: Deadly against big targets. Used as salvo fire in battery turrets and in frigate.
Flak Gun: Planning to put this on the frigate and flak turrets as a treat to fighters
Missile: Not sure about this. I think putting missiles on cruizer and space station sounds nice.

Upgrades:

Last thing on my mind. The priority is to get things together first. :)

I think it qualifies as WIP/Release thread. IIRC, necroing doesn't apply to those, especially when it's author posting updates.
Title: Re: BSG Flash Game
Post by: Rainman on April 18, 2011, 07:38:57 pm
Not quite sure what necroing is, but if we're not supposed to post on old topics then my bad, i didn't know. I'm just hoping the author will reply. What are the rules on necroing?
Title: Re: BSG Flash Game
Post by: karajorma on April 18, 2011, 11:53:20 pm
Usually it's frowned upon in favour of making a new thread and simply linking to the old one. In this case it can be somewhat forgiven for the reasons Dragon mentioned.

Lol, sorry for resurrecting this post again! But I have something to show you.

It's the space game finally coming together. :) I thought I'd shared it with the diaspora team and fans since I'm one of the fans.
Just make sure to mute the sounds and enjoy it.
