Get the Demo, check it out.

Reminded me of Freespace in many ways.

[diamondgeezer]

That's the one in Russian, yes? It was very, very FreeSpacey, but I refused to play it if it didn't have english voice acting. Which is the same as my attitude towards FS campaigns.

[vyper]

Homeplanet = Home World ?

[Stryke 9]

Evidently not. There's not much Freespacey about HW.

Except, you know, the space... and space-ships... and the blowing stuff up... and the aliens. Yah, that's about it.

[Stunaep]

I remember seeing something somewhere about this.

Linky?

Ah, I remember this now. ****in' awesome ships, at the very least... hope it gets exported soon.

look at search results.

be happy.

YAHOO ES TEH DEVAL!



Yeah, I'd say a little Freespacey. It's got the ORB instead of that lame radar thing FS has, other than that the interface is bascially identical- and it looks like gameplay is, too. Except with nicer models and ****, for newer engines.

Hmm.

[Stunaep]

after the initial shock of very FreeTerranish spelling on the front page, it looked up excellent. And we have some SG-1 ships there.

[Stryke 9]

Well... they're Russian. You should see the Zuxxez newsposts.

[Nico]

ah, yeah, tried it. crappy gameplay, I thought, and deleted it.

[Stryke 9]

How so? Bad mission scripting or something?

Zuzzex? Zummerzet? And so on>

I've had my eye on this game for a while, lets hope it can revive the space sim genre.

[Stryke 9]

Games marketed for outside the US generally don't sell well here, so for here at least, don't count on it. For Eastern Europe, sure, but we'll only see a little of that if it happens.

[Petrarch of the VBB]

What about OFP? I hear that got quite a large following in the US, and indeed all over the world, really.

[Stryke 9]

Eh? Where's that from? I never took an interest in it, but yeah, it's popular.

That was a general rule, by the way. There are a couple exceptions I can think of, too, but one of them's English (which really doesn't count), and the other... hell, that's one out of about 500.

[Petrarch of the VBB]

IIRC OFP was developed by a Czech team.

[Rictor]

Yeah, tried it out. The gameplay was sort of confusing, and the Russian didnt help either. I'll give it another shot, cause I dont want to pass up a good game based on first impressions. However, more importantly than the game itself, I think the engine is worth investigating

Briefly, this same engine is being used in a freeware Babylon 5 game, who's team is made up of of the same guys as the Homeplanet team. The engine is certainly more robust than FS2, and leads me to...ideas...

As far as  know, they would consider giving the engine to a freeware type game, if we could only muster the will and the expertise to bring the FS universe into a generation...

Hmmm indeed. It doesn't look bad. Pity it hasn't been translated yet.

[NeoHunter]

Too bad I don't understand Russian. Hehehe...maybe the word over to the right means "Brunette" and the words to the lower left means "You are out of missiles, sucker!"
