I'm dying to get this game no matter what price it is! but I loathe IAP's, I'd rather buy a £10 game with no IAPs than buy a .69p game full of them. in fact now if I find out a game has more than 2 iap's I simply boycott it in disgust, some developers are really using them to bleed the user dry and it disgusts me. (not that I'm accusing these developers of that.)
star command looks dangerous. Its good to play and easy also... Shooters have good speed for finish enemies... I think, all will give better response to this game..
I love this! If the game turns out good, you'll find this blurb on the back of my review in the app store with 5*'s: New Alien Reveal: http://www.facebook.com/StarCommandGame
TIM? Thermal Interface Material? Lol jk! you could call them the END-race, and have some mysterious story surrounding them whereby, noone actually knows what they're really called. They're just called the END-race because they destroy everything they come across?
They call them selves the "O". Well, that is not really a name, but a symbol for their species self-concept. Since they have no emotion and share all their individual information because of the value of better group organisation, they do not have real individuals. The "O" is a circle is can be drawn by a most simple algorythm, stands for perfection, is identical with each copy and also is associated with the O's single eye... Since they don't suffer from emotional needs like arousal, they like to keep it simple...
I like this. You could make them an emotional race that sees no need for a real collective name so the only thing they communicate to other races is that they are "O", "On", "functional" or "Active". Which whoever names these races interpret as a way to adress this race.
Ok, we will have to think like ala Star Trek. Emotionless race is "Vulcans" (Spock). If you like "the nameless ones" then you could mix it with "Vulcans" and you have something like "Vulcones". But on the other hand, there are the "Borgs" which have beams too and you could mix it and you could have the "Borgones".
