[quote who="payments4" reply="4" id="3687727"] I checked the July Update. How do I get the link? Im a founder. [/quote] The link is starting to get around so here . Once you join send me a PM to verify your Discord username with your forum profile on here. Edit: Although I just realised that I can't see a founder badge on your profile, though you are posting in the founders starbase...
SM does not contain all combat elements though. Planetary combat and modular flagship combat mechanics will be Adventure-only. So development of SM can only go so far whilst Adventure will combine just about all elements.
Bleybourne: I also disagree with your assertion that people mostly played SM. I know that I did not. Honestly, unless you have friends to play with in local PVP SC2's SM isn't that engaging. Just because a game is fun with friends does not mean that the game itself is fun. SC2 lives on in memory because of its adventure. Also, just because you spent a lot of time playing a certain game or game mode does not mean that time was as high quality as playing a different game or game mode. S
It's great to hear that founders will soon get access to a full fledged version of Super Melee. With any luck we might even have enough people to do some kind of friendly tournament hosted on the Discord server. The ship builder is sure to make even something like that more interesting than it would normally be. However, I confess that it is the adventure mode I am most looking forward to. For me it does not matter if the voice lines and even artwork are not all in yet. I would love t
I'll ask Brad.
[quote who="Volusianus" reply="8" id="3684803"] As much as I'd like these passives to add buffs with percentages, the fact of the matter is that we're dealing with very small numbers in Star Control (less than 100). I mean, sure, the system can round, and if it works, it works, just do it. However, I believe that adding raw numbers will lead to easier moddability, which is another hard-goal of the new Star Control. [/quote] There is probably a way to enable support for both
Obviously I like this idea although I didn't envision the damage buff being a hard number. It would work more like a percentage buff.
[quote who="sendingsignal" reply="12" id="3684764"] Sad to have been away as well. My pain in my hands turned out to not just be repetitive stress injury, but Ehlers-Danlos syndrome related. So I've been in physical therapy and not really playing much PC games or typing on computers. I can use a controller easier for some reason, but not long stretches of time. I'm still very excited about the game and being a founder, but sorry I haven't been able to participate as
You mean the vault update specifically. I expect we will get a blog post later on :). Addendum: This update includes the Discord server Brad setup. But it's very barebones at the moment. Still, I'll be hanging out there if anyone wants to chat.
[quote who="Volusianus" reply="6" id="3675143"] The Discord is only for keybearers atm, afaik. [/quote] I assumed that might be the case. Easy enough to segregate it though. Been talking about Brad about helping with Discord related matters.
You went to Discord? I didn't see any announcement of a Discord server having been made yet.
Discord is definitely something that I can handle. I run my own bot and already have a server set up for Ashes of the Singularity. I have also worked with helping other developers run their Discord servers, including most recently for the RTS game 8-Bit Armies made by Petroglyph Games. Having said that although I can handle most anything from an administration standpoint, when it comes to a user facing role I would prefer if I had someone to work with on that. In my experience having
I have pretty much moved on from the likes of Skype to Telegram and Discord. Both services are much better suited for creating private chatrooms, in the case of Discord with multiple channels, as well as having voice chat if you need it. They also have far better support on a variety of platforms from Windows to Linux and mobile phones. All with very discrete hardware profiles when compared to Skype. The big issue with Skype is that the software is really out of date by now, especiall
I get the feeling Brad went out partying and has not been seen since.

Looking good so far. Very interested to see for myself how the new Super Melee handles. You can't convey some things even in video.
I love that cosplay is a priority in designing the Earthling commander.
By the time Star Con Origins is released they will have the Vulkan version of the Nitrous engine ready. So it should run on Windows 7+, with potential for a Linux port.
This is not a real-time strategy game. It's closer to an adventure game. I recommend playing Star Control 2 Ur-Quan Masters. You can get an open source version of the game from here .
