Star Command (Game Dev Story meets Star Trek)

I agree managing is what makes it fun and a challenging
25/50/25 seems to me as a good compramise between the elements
Oh and I would definitely like a version that utilizes the iPad to the fullest

 

Hey Justin,

So how will you purchase a star system? Do you just slip the guy behind the counter extra at the intergalactic emperor's giftshop or something?

 

It will be more like completing goals to earn the star system. For instance, the inhabitants of Planet X need help with this and as you do more and more things for them you earn their loyalty into your "federation"

Offering up your virgin daughter also works

 

^^^ Awesome way to buy over a system.

 

^^Hehehe^^ ...do you get to write a constitution too (jk) I want all citizens of Planet X to have the right to drink vanilla thickshakes

How will you manage your federation if you're out in your only ship on other business?

 

I don't really have much of an opinion - I'm just impressed that you know about Giants: Citizen Kabuto

 

Happy 4/20 star command fans

What is Giants Citizen Kabudo you might ask?

Just so happen to be one of the best games ever. SO far ahead of it's... actually... it hasn't even been matched- it is STILL ahead of its time- first person base-building?

Why on earth has this not be replicated by any other game?

ALSO

what do you guys think of the developers doing a radio update every month or whatev? Would you listen? We'd talk about more than just OUR game too btw - it wouldn't be boring (assume that).

 

What do you mean by radio exactly? Like a podcast? Sounds good to me - I'd get it

 

+1
Combat + exploration and build

 

so I hope there will be a lite version so I can try it out for free to see if I should buy it

 

There will be a lite version shortly after release.

 

Yes it would be a Podcast of us talking about develpment, the game and game news. In a wacky and zany way!

 

Blerp

we're gonna do the podcast this weeekend- we'll post a link here- and on all our webpages.

starcommandgame.com is the bes place for it.

 

Blerp LOL
This'll be the first podcast i've listened to in a while

Anyways, will Star Command have much social integration? E.g. multiplayer, ability to see Game Center friends ships etc.

 

Star Command will have some elements of integration with social media- we are hoping to import names from facebook to name your crew. Perhaps a form of achievements will also be postable.

The game, UNFORTUNATELY, will not have multiplayer as we've decided it is out fo scope of our current model - Star Command 2, the sequel to the multi-million selling blockbuster game WILL have multiplayer.

 

Facebook integration in these games are useless unless you are 5 years old

 

Well I reckon it'd be epic if I could jettison annoying Facebook friends into space

 

I'd be concerned about a 5-year-old trying to socially network online.

 

I really hope the game will have Game Center achievements. Getting achievements for Game Dev Story got me hooked on that game again

 

There will indeed be achievements.
