Question?

hi guys,

i have a question.  Please don't take it as anything but a question.

Why a prequel?  And wouldn't a prequel limit you in some ways since we already know the future?  unless we're dealing with a different alternate universe, wouldn't you be putting yourself in a box?  For instance, since it's a prequel and most of us played the previous series, we know who the precursors are, but we're not suppose to know.  Doesn't that limit their appearamce?

FYI It's not really a Prequal its a Reboot. Think "Star Trek Original movies" vs " New Star Trek movies" different universe yet the same :P

Oh no... this doesn't mean things will be coming OUT OF black holes, does it?

Please... Keep JJ away from Star Control:-)

If JJ Abrams did Star Control Origins, I would be happy. Normally I don't like Memberberry rehash crap like Star Wars Episode 7, but for Star Control, I would make an exception.

Hi everyone.

I joined yesterday so please excuse my ignorance, since this thread is called Question I figured I might as well ask here. The pre order game is not available for download yet is it? Will we only get access to the beta or the pre beta too?

Thanks.

There is nothing currently available for download in terms of the game. 

You should checkout the vault if you are interested in seeing some early development stuff. 

More info about an alpha and beta will be coming in the future.

Would be so awesome if multiplayer coop was available.   i don't know how it would work, but maybe some kind of even a community zone where each of us can meet and fly around.

Even if he was going to make things come out of black holes?  And make academy cadet's who are on the verge of being court martialed the captain of the flagship of the fleet?  And call it the "flagship of the fleet", when it's not.  Or... Wait, I better stop now, or I'll wind up writing another one of those 8-page posts about what a complete moron JJ is when it comes to sci-fi.  He's like equally as bad as original Battlestar Galactic that thought that the solar system, the galaxy, and the universe were all the same thing.

I kind of like the Star Wars movie, I like that new female Jedi character a lot and JJ is great at doing Star Wars battle scenes.  I loved BSG even with the silly science.  But JJ should stick with Star Wars... Please, somebody get him away from Star Trek!!!

:-)

Actually, since you mention it, at some point in the next one to three weeks I will be finished with the work I have been doing on my own game universe for the last year.  Exactly the thing that I spent a day promising myself that I would not do before joining this founders program, haha.  Every free moment of every day for the last year or so know, like there was any way that was not going to happen.  Anyway, I'm sure the mods here won't mind if I just post a link too it, and if anyone wants to comment about it you can do it on my dev diary or PM here so it doesn't become a discussion here.

In a few weeks I'll have a development journal on GameDev.Net with about 400 pages of information about my Pirate Dawn Universe.  A summary of all 14 games, the Pirate Dawn design doc (it's a top down space shooter:-)), and a playable prototype game.  The playable prototype game is the first game of the PDU and includes the entire beginning of the timeline from the formation of the Earth in 4.5 billion BC to 1945 at the beginning of the first game, and of course combined with the game itself comprises the complete first draft of the beginning of the story of the PDU.

So, unless they tell me not too I'll post a link to that here when I put it up.  And if you want to let me know what you think of it, which I would love to hear, you can come over to my dev journal for that.
