What will be interesting is to see if we meet our goal for SCO to be a MSORPG (massively single player Online game) in the sense that players who want to solve some of the more challenging missions will likely need to talk to others online.
[quote who="JackRugby" reply="41" id="3717930"] No, I understand that. I used uranium at the ruins on the moon and the dialogue said the laser cannon was installed and told me to go try to shoot some rocks, but I couldn't figure out how to actually do that. [/quote] control key.
[quote who="Taslios" reply="18" id="3716450"] Quoting _Melian_, reply 1 Q1, How is Star Control different from No Man's Sky? Q2, You guys are good at strategy games. But you haven't done an RPG. So how has that changed how you make the game? I second Melian's
[quote who="djashdj" reply="17" id="3716326"] no mac support? lame. Plans for a mac port? [/quote] Sorry, no Mac version. They’d need to support Vulkan.
Go for it. I’ll catch up.
[quote who="Taslios" reply="533" id="3717938"] Brad, can you just ignore the rabble-rousers and focus on posting stuff in the catch all question thread that you created earlier in the month. this topic is a dead horse. Honestly I'm shocked you've not just locked this entire thread as it does nothing productive for Stardock. I'm excited for the new game. I want that news... not more rehashing about some fan
[quote who="GMOrz" reply="525" id="3717920"] Correction: You have the copyright owner filing a DMCA take down notice on their copyrighted work, which you were selling without the copyright holder's permission. [/quote] For the sake of argument, let's assume that. The same individual is also making claims of having copyrights in Star Control: Origins. Would you be outraged if they issued a DMCA take-down notice of Star Control: Origins on opening weekend or would
Hmm. You know that's a very interesting idea. I'll pass that on. There may be subtle ways to do that.
[quote who="Elestan" reply="523" id="3717910"] You're certainly entitled to your opinion. But your post is essentially asserting that anyone who comes to favor P&F in this dispute could not possibly be open-minded. I would suggest that this would need to come from a more neutral source to be persuasive (for newcomers, Frogboy is Stardock's CEO). [/quote] No. I just don't think you are.

[quote who="Elestan" reply="519" id="3717904"] Quoting Frogboy, reply 517 Just be aware that Elestan is very much in the pro-PF / anti-Stardock camp. The reason he gets a hostile reception is that he tries to appear objective while being quite obviously not once you start to look into it. Actu
[quote who="Elestan" reply="510" id="3717889"] But the way I personally see it, Paul and his group made the game, which was then published with a prominent copyright attribution to Paul and Fred. All of the other people involved surely were aware of this, and none of them raised a voice in disagreement. For me, that's good enough to satisfy my sense of proper attribution and rights allocation. We'll just have to see what the courts say about the legalities. [

[quote who="BionicDance" reply="508" id="3717887"] I have to admit, I've been resisting getting on Discord...it'd been like, "What...another social media platform? I can barely keep up with Facebook and YouTube anymore, and now this? Ugh." [/quote] Discord is more like a chat program. So it's real-time. But in any event, whether it's here or on Discord, we try to keep up with everyone's feedback. It's made a tremendous difference in the g
[quote who="BionicDance" reply="504" id="3717882"] The music is just one of many examples where someone else owned those copyrights. See, that's just strange to me...that a game developer would have a signed agreement with all content creators that what was made for the game would be owned by the company is something I'd have expected in all cases. But then, I really don't know those inner-workings; when I worked in
[quote who="Elestan" reply="499" id="3717874"] In this case, the argument is that Accolade never established a brand around any of the alien names; there were no "Slylandro"-branded pillows, "Shofixti"-branded firecrackers, or "Syreen"-branded...well, you get the idea. Even the Ur-Quan were only mentioned in small print on the box. Without any of those efforts, even though those names were part of the game, they never became part of its brand identity, and consequently are no
[quote who="BionicDance" reply="498" id="3717869"] I was gonna ask about the music, since it was obviously from SC2...and yet, amid this copyright flap, it seemed odd that it was in SCO. Believe me when I say, NOT complaining . So, you know...thanks for clearing that one up. [e digicons]:)[/e] [/quote] Yep. One of the biggest misconceptions is that P&F "own the copyr
[quote who="eride" reply="496" id="3717856"] I think the issue you are having is that you don't actually understand the concept of a trademark. [/quote] I don’t think Pyro was referring to the trademark. Now, on copyright, as far as I’m aware, no copyrights from SC 1/2 came to Stardock. Those belong to whoever owns those various copyrights such as the artists, musicians, programmers, or anyone else who authored something that can be protected by copyright.<
For those of you who want to mess with gameplay, the various parameter.xml files at the root of the assets directory are a modder's dream.
Kavik, stop making off topic responses. People get upset with you because you hijack threads. You have very insightful thoughts on a lot of issues but there is a time and place for them.
Yea I would guess around 3,000 total planets by the end of dev. Assume 5 planets per system on average and that would be around 600 stars.
It is true. The AI in Fleet Battles isn't due for an update until July. It's currently at "works ok but ain't great" level. (that's a technical term...)
So far anyway. I add about 20 to 30 a day as the story requires.
That is a good question. Can someone find out the sc2number? I’ll check the sco number she. I get in.
Was I the only one who noticed how games seem to be really focusing on multiplayer? Even games that have traditionally been single player? I'm curious to hear how our communities feel about this. Stardock is taking a big bet on Star Control: Origins. It is a single player game (other than Fleet Battles of course). The game is about you. I personally have no interest in multiplayer RPG games these days. So what's the deal?
We just added a Uranium request to the Commander. So you will be able to try that path. :)
