So as some of you may recall, Star Control 1 was actually a bit of a strategy game while Star Control 2 was the action adventure game. We had played around with the idea of merging both concepts into the initial release of Star Control: Origins but decided it would be too messy to try to explain what Star Control was in one fell swoop. So instead, Eternal & Infinite will be released as a future expansion. In EnI you get a sector (100 light years by 100 light years)

This Fall, all Founders will get access to the Super Melee beta via Steam.

I replaced it with a PDF version.

With regards to Super Melee. I very much disagree with those who suggest that Super Melee should be first person. I adamantly want Super Melee to be a top-down, arcade like experience, not some sort of sim style.

Yes. We are also talking to Paul and Fred who have something planned as well.

We intend for the game to include multiple ships per race but only 1 in super Melee. In super melee you will be able to add your own ships with ships made by others and play online with others with them (ranked mp will be limited to official ships only).

Hey guys, traveling today. I hope to get the entry up into the founder's vault tomorrow. So much stuff going on!

[quote who="Frungy_Party" reply="10" id="3681196"] I just have one question/concern about this: will we be able to see this living galaxy (ships patrolling, borders being guarded, etc.) when we enter the zoomed out hyperspace/space map? [/quote] No. You can only see as far as your sensors go (which, at first, is basically nowhere)

Hi guys, As many of you know, June is the first month I'm on Star Control full time. This has been a very fun and interesting project that has some twisty turns. Now that things are starting to really heat up (there are now 3X as many engineers on the project as there were 30 days ago) I'm going to try to have both the monthly newsletter and the follow-up with a mid-month talk/voice chat. So in no particular order. Voice Chat: Discord

Let's talk about Hyperspace for a second. Hyperspace still exists, nothing has changed there. What I want to change is the screen where you're flying in a colored hue. What I'd like to see is something more like Star Control 1. You see the galaxy and can navigate through it but when you travel between systems you're traveling on a galactic map that you can zoom in and out of (I suppose, technically, if you zoomed in close enough it would seem like the old Hypersp

Without the founders, the game wouldn't be on the track (the right track) it is today. Over the past year the founders have had an immense impact on the development of the game via their postings here.

I'm here.

We are looking for Star Control Community Managers. What is a Community Manager? Here's Paradox's description: http://career.paradoxplaza.com/jobs/29440-community-manager This would be a part-time position (so you can do it in your spare time). You'd be helping with setting up a Discord server and on our forums and elsewhere. Basically, we want to see Star Contro

Our Super Melee camera is free form btw.

[quote who="Hunam_" reply="3" id="3670278"] Brad, please post the design intent for every ship you want us to test. So we at least know which direction to be taking ships at. Also, what is *fun* for you in SM? [/quote] Good idea!

[quote] So, you're saying I will travel through the same canyon on different planets and will know exactly when to turn?..[/quote] I don't know. There's only 1 copy of Earth and I constantly miss my turns.

Greetings! Things are starting to get super busy here on Star Control which is making it harder to have time to communicate with you guys. Let me first tell you WHAT we are working on and second ask you WHAT you would like to see in the next update. ## Planet Exploration ## When we do the postmortem on Star Control: Origins, the Planet exploration feature will be the highlight of things we probably shouldn't have done. That feature,

Greetings! Lots of stuff happening. The big project right now is merging the Super Melee code-base into the main game code-base. It's boring and unsexy but it needs to be done. We're also working on improving the DirectX 12 support. As a few of you know, we did hand out the prototype Super Melee to a few folks with good results. Great feedback. Right now, we're taking that feedback and incorporating it in as quickly as we can so that we c

Re Starbases: The Precursor tech folds space. We have no idea how it works but it lets the player move quickly to other ones. This is not true, however, if the Earth starbase which does not have this tech.

Heh. Yea, I'm writing this from a little Chinese restaurant in San Fran. GDC is a great conference for getting together with other game developers and potential partners. I have the newsletter just about done but am just too tapped tonight to finish it tonight.

Greetings! The Vault update is going to be a day late. The team is here at the Game Developer's Conference in San Francisco California. Here's a preview of some of the topics. Super Melee roll-out Star Control: Galaxy Forge Star Control: Memory and engagement thoughts Story update Stay tuned.

Once you get through it the first time, we'd add a "Fast Start.." with some options so you can pick which chapter you want to start with.

Great feedback. thanks!

Spathi ship still there, I just cropped my screenshot.

It is time to start ramping things up. Please add me on skype. I'm Draginol. Make sure you let me know who you are and why you're contacting me. :) Going to create a Star Control Founder group as we are quickly reaching the stage where this once of a month thing ain't gonna cut it.
