Hey guys I'm the new one... xD
I started to make a Browsergame conversion of FreeSpace some days ago...
Finished the layout and user system so far.
Here 2 screenshots:

You will play the GTVA (not sure to make shivans or ancients playable too...) and have a planet where you can harvest raw materials which you need to research and build new ships. these you can use to fight against other players. the game is in a early version and concept still under development. As soon as i got more info's for you I'll post them.
-
Will there be an english version?
-
make it in ENGLISH and I LOVE YOU!!!
Really, looking great, but I WANT to be able to play it! I want to play it A LOT!!!
Also, well, I don't have a welcome beam, but still, welcome to Hard-Light!!! I hope you'll enjoy your stay and become a part of the community!
All the good!

:welcomered:
Red welcome beammmzzzzzAAAPP!!!
Srsly, this will be goo with JAD / KoL humour injected :)
-
Oh, makes me remind of Ogame, so many nights wasted :p
Will gladly join and make a superfleet, but only if it's for free!
-
Cool, I'm down to play :D
-
Nice to see that you followed my recommendation :nod:
Still looking forward to this :yes:
-
Will there be an English version?
Yeah, but i hope someone could help me to translate everything to English, because mine isn't that good...
But the development will be in German, maybe i find someone who could help me fast to translate it so that there will be an English beta. :)
-
I'm currently
lerne learning Deutsch German, so I might be able to help in a few Monaten months. :)
A question though: can this project run into copyright violation issues?
-
I'm thinking about that too... should it be enough if i put a disclaimer on the page that ship names weapons and so on is copyrighted by volition and interplay?
-
if you don't ask for any money, yes:)
-
I'll help with translation. Even if I can't get everything, I can make sure everything sounds good to native English ears.
EDIT:

Maybe you can PM a list of things to translate to us; between the two of us students we should be able to pull it off. :D

Ich kann selbstverständlich auch das eine oder andere übersetzen, da ich deutsch und der englischen Sprache mächtig bin ;)
-
So the main website is done so far...
http://fsc.galaxy-tales.eu/
please check for missspelling and take a look at the disclaimer, should that be enough?
-
looking good, but there are a couple of problems. Interplay has part of the rights for the game, so you might want to give 'em some credit too...
Secondly you only give credit for FS2, are you sure it shouldn't be for the whole FS saga?
-
fixed...
interplay has credits too, or what do you mean? 2ND row...

Could you change the banner image?
-

-
It's, not its.
And, well, it's a screenshot from my mod.
-
oh dont know that, no copyright on the image...
can i take it for the browsergame?
-
Alright, just credit me and watsisname ( since he made the original nebulas that I modified and turned into a skybox ).

I'm looking at the moment for 2 screenshots of freespace 1 with vasudan ships and 1 with shivan does anyone have some good shots or maybe know who are the owner of those... ?
http://www.hard-light.net/wiki/index.php/File:RScreen0066.jpg
and...
http://www.hard-light.net/wiki/index.php/File:RScreen0053.png
if you have better screenshots for the header of the shivan and vasudan skin please post them... :)
-
does pics you showed are of ships from FS2, not 1....
-
yeah i'm looking for fs2 ships... :o
-
I just want that you know the project isn't dead... it takes time to develop everything fine =)
Here is a screenshot of the home view in game:

For the ressources, try molybdenum (cf Deimos tech tdescription).
-
and Depleted Uranium (Iceni tech description)
-
Looks good :yes:
Can't wait for more.
-
Short version of the story released!
go for it... http://fsc.galaxy-tales.eu/?a=story :)
-
Argon could be a resource as well... Prometheus R/S stuff that is - or krypton as several FS1 primaries are dubbed as 'krypton lasers'
-
So this is a bit like mafiawars or such browsergames? I buy 50 Apollo's and 5 Fenris today and I attack, let's say Matth's 80 SF Scorpions?
-
Just an FYI, copyright attribution is not a defense against infringement lawsuits. If Interplay decide to sue you, they won't give a damn who you gave credit to, all they care about (and the courts will care about) is that you're distributing this and they didn't say you could.
-
If it's free I don't see why they'd get upset.
-
If it's free I don't see why they'd get upset.
Because they aren't making money on stuff they made?
-
alright got an mail to interplay right now, waiting for answer...
-
I'm not sure that was a good move. They likely never would have noticed or cared otherwise.
-
just want to be on the save side....
-
Update on the building system, still unfinished but not much anymore to do...
(http://fsu.galaxy-tales.eu/screens/FreeSpace%20Universe%20-%20Browsergame_1297676889603.png)
-
hey, blackace, any news?
-
The buildings look/sound somewhat similar to those in OGame.
Other than that, looks good.
-
nothing new going one week to new york so don't have much time at the moment, I'll continue as soon as I'm back
-
:bump:
Any progress on this ?
-
its still alive! :D
sorry for the delay... working on the eventhandler where all things come together...
need some time to get everything work fine, so far nothing to show right now.
just coding the core and design the database :)
-
Oh god, are those... TIMERS? O_O Please tell me this isn't like travian (30/8 or 24/7 if you don't care about minor setbacks) Otherwise very good job.
-
uhm... do you mean its turn-based... ?
no it isn't, otherwise what do you mean? :D
-
I mean that you have to sit there for loong amounts of times like you do on travian :P *poopsockers*
There are three types:
turns - fastest because you play all at once, very bad attack options (generals online)
timers - You set operation to do and countdown timer runs till it's done (travian)
re-counts:
- daily - Good for people who don't want to spend all day on the game since all the battles, mining, building ETC takes tim in a single hour (stargate webgame)
- <daily - IMHO absolutely the best option, for example once in two hours.
Of course i dunno how does your game work, but believe me, a lot of people find timers far beyond their time possibilities (unless they play at work :P )
Does it support custom skins? That would be very cool :)
Minor hint: Deuterium really ain't MINED. Unless you have a bigass machinery that can withstand pressure at jupiter's core where metal hydrogen can be found :P
-
ok then is is like travian at the moment, but dont forget its a beta maybe i'll change later...
and yeah it will support custom skins, the skin system is done so far, but user made skins will not be allowed in the first open beta
-
If that's PHP i can assist if you want :) I have good experience with the two hour recounts from czech Foundation and Empire game (sry guys, no english version, YET, but we're woking on it ;) ) - It allows for very realistic wars with battles.
-
may i see some more facts and maybe a link with a game that play with the two hour recounts ?
-
blackace! you are back! drop by IRC sometimes to have a chat:D
-
Hey guys!
I'm not dead... :)
Had a lot to do last time... but the game is so far working. I just have to start to translate everything into English... Game Engine runs fine so far.
I think it will take some to do all the translation ****... :)
-
So far... the website is online with the new design.
Watch out here: http://fsu.galaxy-tales.com
The registration is offline at the moment.
Working on the game translation right now!
More, coming soon... :)
-
I'm pretty excited about this.
-
Good to hear this is still being worked on. Keep it up !
-
Screenshot of new in game design...

-
Looks nice, makes me drift back to the time when I used to spend hours connected to Ogame.
-
Looks promising.
Do you still need a hand with translating issues?
-
Sure if i need any help with translation I'll post here... :)
-
Here is the website in English converted by google chrome translate:

What exactly is gameplay like for this? Are there any beta gameplay shots we can see? I suppose I understand the gist of the project, but I don't really understand the nature of the project, if you understand what I mean.
