Nothing wrong with that at all the more developers of space/scifi themed games the better and thanks for letting us know about your work-in-progress. Looking forward to Monday for that alpha build. I'm sure your going to get the feedback you want on SCO (Space Command One). What I would do is make a official post once your alpha is complete in the indie area since a lot of people generally look in that area.

I will add your game to the game list. Welcome to SSC.

Thanks for the welcome! Once I get the Alpha done, I'll post a link and more information up on the Indie Dev spot. I haven't gotten much feedback on my concepts, but, having not actually released a playable version at all its difficult for anyone to give feedback. I am mostly getting word out that such a thing is under development, and in the future I'll make sure to post more about where its going. I think its going to be quite special once the full on version is done.

Cheers,

Marcin

Hi Marcin

Welcome to the SSC 🙂

The Homeworld series will always be one of my most loved space games. You are correct, there is very little out there up to the HW standard, even after all this time. The world really, really needs Homeworld 3 right now, but in the mean time, I will look forward to your progress. Please keep us updated! Please tell me you already know about that super mod for HW2 called Homeworld Complex? In fact I am sure you do 😉

Again, thank you for the welcome 🙂

Though my game is not nearly Homeworld in terms of scale and awesomeness, I am hoping to at least fill in that void. The trick is I want to represent a new genre, as it were. Something I've never truly seen, and that is mixing an RTS / Tactical game (think Dawn of War 2, or Company of Heroes) with a Turret Defense. I haven't seen many space based Turret Defense games, and I love the genre. And I love RTS games. The hope in the end is to have a game that will encompass the TD genre with the player's main ship, building and upgrading turrets as the primary line of defense. In addition, a full on squad based RTS with your fighter ships, of which there will be multiple types. This is for the offense. Hopefully the two genres will mix as well as I am hoping. Right now I am working on the Alpha build of the game, coming out this monday providing I don't run into more problems, and that will be purely turret defense. Its more of a proof of concept than anything, but I'm hoping it will at least be fun, and fast. Since this will be playable online, there is no reason anyone should not play it 🙂

Thanks for pointing me to Homeworld 2 Complex! I have not heard of it, as I fell away from the Homeworld mod scene for a while since most of them tend to kind of disappear.

Cheers,

Marcin

No worries, we have in the past discussed Homeworld Complex. Here is a link to the thread general-space-sim-chat-f10/homeworld2-complex-t894.html
