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.

Bit hard to categorize where this one should go as the first version of the game seems destined to be for the mobile formats with the PC following, anyhow it's a Kickstarter and they are looking for $100K http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/alaric/praetoria and as usual more info on the Kickstarter page. looks like they have already done 4 updates.

To understand what we want to achieve, first take a step back from what you've experienced in games thus far, and try to envision something entirely different. Our ultimate goal with Praetoria is to create a new kind of MMO experience--what we are calling an MMORPS (Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Strategic Simulation). A persistent universe on a single server architecture. An infinite, seamless, sea of star systems to discover, each containing procedurally-generated planets to terraform, and ultimately, fight over for control. A game where players will form their own cooperative player-run factions that contain both AI and player character citizens, develop unique technologies, and compete for control of the universe.

We are not aiming at kids with this series. Praetoria is aimed directly toward adults--the forsaken demographic, in our opinion. This game is for every person who grew up watching sci-fi shows, movies and anime series and thought to themselves "If only I was born in that universe.." There will be a heavy emphasis on realism, and as a result, we expect it will be rated "M".

This campaign is two-fold. Our primary goal is to receive $100,000 to launch our company and enable us to deliver a high quality, 3-D flight simulator/action RTS game to mobile platforms. We are also presenting our main goal--the MMORPS. Below you will find our stretch goals which extend all the way up to the MMO level of development. Exactly what we produce and how quickly is on the table for you to decide.

It is a new genre being created that focuses on player freedom and pushes the limits of what is considered a game. It is the idea that building an empire and waging wars should be cooperative as much as they are competitive. It combines MMORPG & FPS/3PS style character controls with cooperative civilization building similar to an RTS. It takes it a step further by incorporating simulation elements such as 3D free flight sim controls for vehicles and advanced character Artificial Intelligence. The result is a game where players will work together to dominate vast regions of space, colonize planets and live in a virtual world. We plan to do this in a futuristic, sci-fi styled universe. A dangerous universe. One where anything can and will happen.
