Impulse - Phase II Released

Stardock's Digital Distrubtion Platform

from Demigod Forums

Stardock is excited to announce that “phase two” of its digital download platform, Impulse, has begun and all updates, new games and software applications will soon be live.  Concurrent with the new games and software applications, Impulse additions now see a refreshed user interface and a major new set of developer features called ImpulseReactor. Stardock’s recent release, The Political Machine 2008 will be the first game to utilize features of ImpulseReactor, and the upcoming Demigod will incorporate the features which consist of the highly anticipated match-making feature, cloud computing, rankings, achievements, multiplayer, NAT negotiation, and more.

Phase two of Impulse also adds the ability for users to install and update third-party and freeware programs that are available via Impulse. This makes the transfer of the catalogue of programs installed on a user’s machine extraordinarily simple from machine to machine as it’s all centrally located on Impulse. Phase two has already addressed user feedback and incorporates significantly faster load times, downloads, a smart queue option and a smarter updating process which exponentially decreases processing time for updates.

All new titles and software applications are now available at www.impulsedriven.com

Im a little unsure about this whole thing cus I've never been interested in a Stardock game, but is this "impulse" program like Steam?  I use steam for almost all my PC games.

Better, I say. Impulse allows you to buy/download/update any program that works with it (There's more than just games). And they're adding more features.

 Doubt it. I think these icons were decided upon (Or at least made) long before I started posting. Besides, it just says : fox : if you hover the pointer over it.

heh... actually the fox came out of the design for Wulfn1's smilie:  :wulf:

Steph & I had a ball of fun coming up with them and we're really glad they've finally been implemented on the sites.  Thanks Andrew!  :thumbsup:
Now we just have to convince him to add sorting options.  :X

Anyways, back on topic.  I'm not a big fan of the orange either, and can't wait until the skinnable version is finally released.  But I much prefer Impulse to SDC by a loooooooong stretch.

Great work guys!  :thumbsup:   5*
