Star Chasm

[lotekk]

As of now the second official demo release of Star Chasm can be downloaded from our server. We incorporated several changes to the game since the last release as:* new missions* a radar* a new faction: the ronaldists* a new dialogue system* strafe flight* some ships got new texturesBut it's still in its alpha stage. So not all features could be implemented. Some things are still missing or incomplete. But at least you are able to fly within 2 star systems, complete a few missions, trade and mine and fight. So we would be more than happy if you had a few moments to check out our latest demo and give a little ranting and raving. Cheers lo-tekkDownload: starchasm-demo-setup-734.exe

Hello LotekkHad a quick play around with the demo, few things have struck me straight off.1 Found the blue text some what hard to read, maybe just my monitor but playing with contrast did not seem to improve it.2 When you are docked at the station the trading menus could be laid out better or more definition between what is in your ship cargo hold and what the trader has to sell as it’s a bit confusing as to who has what.3 a short description of the system on the starmap, may be in that empty space at the bottom of the screen.Also every time I took the mission “mysterious and strange pick up” the game crashed with a memory access violation message.

Ah thank you for spotting this. In the hurry I just introduced a nasty bug preventing 2 missions from running. I just re-uploaded a (hopefully) working version.Cheers lotekk

I think Lotekk you may need to look at the combat in the game as it a little too easy just to kept the w key pressed down and follow the enemy ship around blasting it shields and hull until its destroyed as it never gets a chance to fire at the player ship.Like the textures on the ships they look really good.
