To all SSC Station occupants

Thank you for the donations over the past year (2024), it is much appreciated. I am still trying to figure out how to migrate the forums to another community software (probably phpbb) but in the meantime I have updated the forum software to the latest version. SSC has been around a while so their is some very long time members here still using the site, thanks for making SSC home and sorry I haven't been as vocal as I should be in the forums I will try to improve my posting frequency.

Thank you again to all of the members that do take the time to donate a little, it helps keep this station functioning on the outer reaches of space.

New promising Kickstarter project incoming! =)

 

For the friends of turn-based strategy (remember Battle Isle?) a new hope has arrived on Kickstarter.

 

Support for Win, Linux and Mac. Also browser support for online matches.

Comes with 2 single player campaigns and a map editor.

Sounds great to me! Check it out here!

True nice find and I loved playing Battle Isle oh so long ago. I think this would be great and with updated graphics this will be even better. I liked the fact of taking turns and waiting (via email) for a player to do turns. I remember in the past you couldn't play long strategy games over the web because people would drop off, least this way you can keep a game going 🙂

Game looks solid and with a map editor that just increases the following and life of the game.

Moving this to the strategy area.

They got their first 10% of funding in the first 2 hours of the project being live on KS.

not bad, I'd say. :preved:

I guess that's me:

By now the project has reached 106.000$ of its 120.000$ goal with 34 days to go.

So funding should be save. I think the stretch goals are more interesting now. =)

I'd love to see a 'conquer the planet' game mode but I'm pretty sure even if they don't reach the stretch goal they might add it in a future add-on. =)

#2 addon would definitely put this game in everyone's hands that wants to play it and that would be a huge success for them. I haven't read much on this yet, but will matches be able to be played across all the various platforms like PC player against Android player? I think this is doable since a web enabled game is available. If so this will be one of the first games that will allow all this player freedom.

About $2500 away from stretch goal 1, I am really liking this game and will probably be getting in on this one when it has 10 days left or so. Want to see how close they get to stretch goal #2.

They are getting close to stretch goal #2 and I hope they make it, plan on getting a android tablet this year and would be nice to take this game with me wherever I go 🙂

Only 40+ fours left to contribute so hop to it.

Well it made it to the 2nd stretch goal and I got in at the $30 level, so if there is anyone out there that got this game maybe we can play a game sometime in Dec 🙂

CaptianKal that's not a factor with this, and is the biggest reason I wanted this game:

 

Asynchronous Multiplayer - Take all the time you need and consider your moves . Similar to “play-by-mail”, your round is stored on our server and turned over to your opponent. The system allows you to continue the match anytime and anywhere you want.

 

And when I get an Android tablet I can game on the go how awesome is that.

They have released the Android app for this game and if you bought the game previous via kickstarter you get it for free.
