It's featured at nbsd.de/paxsolaris.html, and directly download from here. I greatly appreciate any feedback you may have. Does it work on your system? Were you confused at any point? Did you find it addictive? Did you win the first time you have played? Do you have any suggestions? Regarding the game design side of Pax Solaris: I wanted a game with real strategy, front lines, tactical retreats, encirclements, battle fatigue, attacks and counterattacks. Well, I think I have succeeded in doing just that, which is pretty amazing given the very simple rule-set of this game. Enjoy. [edited by - Diodor on February 22, 2004 3:36:17 AM]

Very cool game,

I just finished my first game, which I won It ran just fine on my system (p4/1.7, 512rdram, gf3, winxp).

I''d say it is fairly addictive, I''m gonna go play again right now

Excellent!

Yup it''s a good game. It looks like a board game called Cosmic something...

One thing though: I think the game would gain A LOT if it was turn-based with some extra-powers for each players (ie nuke bombs).

Darkhaven Beta-test stage coming soon.

Mmmhrr, I don''t think so. I like the dynamism it has right now.

True about the dynamism but... a turn-based system would involve more strategy

A question though: how the game is played in hot-seat mode since it''s real time ?
Darkhaven Beta-test stage coming soon.
Interesting idea. Unfortunately I couldn''t immerse myself into it. I would have beaten the first level, but I stopped half way through. I did beat the tutorial ''level''. Even though it wasn''t my ''type'' of game, I definitely looks like people could have fun playing it. Good work!
I enjoyed it... The graphics are clean and crisp and the GUI is intuitive... so far it seems fun but I fear that the level of replay or my interest may not exist for long... but I have to play it more to obtain/provide any real analysis.
