I posted some ideas about the real time portion of my game. It's long and ugly, but please take the time to read it and tell me what you think. -treknerd 1 - 12 - 02 2:17 PM also, there is the story summary which you may want to read. It was posted on the 5 January 2002 at 12:24PM. Thanks again. [edit] If you don't want to take the time to read this whole thread, the question is: What do you like or hate about space strategy games? Also, I posted a story summary of my game idea on the 5 January 2002 at 12:24PM or so. (You can find it by checking the dates on posts). -treknerd [\edit] I'm not going to say that I have this idea for a space strategy game that will be the best one ever made. This post is to find out what would should be put in such a game if I ever made one, and what should be left out. So I ask this question: If the best turn-based / real time space strategy game were created, what would it be like? Would it be real time strategy? Massive Multiplayer online game? Have universe big enough for a million + people to take part in? Post your ideas here!! Or, if there is some "feature" in a space strategy game which you really hate, post that here too. -treknerd Edited by - treknerd on January 5, 2002 12:28:29 PM Edited by - treknerd on January 12, 2002 6:19:56 PM

well if anyone knew that they´d probably be on their way making it, wouldn´t they?

I'm not trying to steal everyone else's ideas or get someone else to design a game for me--I have my own ideas. I just wanted some input from other people about what they thought would make a cool game. What could make or break such a game?

And just so you know, I already have 20 pages of design docs written out, and lots more in my head.

I think it''d be cool if you made a game where everyboyd could connect to a server or something and all play in the same universe. would that be a "massive multiplayer online" game?

link to your 20 pages, then we can discuss. asking "how do i make a cool game" will only bring you flames, i´m amazed that it´s been mild sarcasm up to now.

I''m not going to post 20 pages of design docs, but I might be able to summarize my ideas. Check back later.

And like I said, I''m not asking how to make a cool game. I suppose I could rephrase my question to:

What do you like or hate about space strategy games?

Is that better?

Explosive decompression. Lot''s of it. Much better than some silly aliens.

They''re coming for you!
