Warning: the following was our April Fool's joke - apparently a few people have fallen for it, so I must add this disclaimer. It should not be taken seriously!
Dear community,
This is with great sadness that I must announce a bad news ( sort of ).
We have decided to review the promised features list and to cut some of them to be able to complete the project in a realistic time frame, and to differenciate us even more from the competition. The following list is not exhaustive, but here are some of the most important changes:
- the game will no longer be a MMO, but exclusively solo.
- planetary landing is removed, it was all pre-rendered in Terragen and would look crap in real-time anyway.
- in order to keep performance up, it will no longer be twitch based, but play as point & click. Newtonian physics is overrated and playing the view upside-down is dangerous for your mental health anyway..
- the game will now be wholy jumpgate-based. We thought that the freedom of the previously-planed hyperdrive would confuse newbies too much.
- we'll remove collision detection.. nobody likes to bump into objects.
- there will only be around 5000 star systems, and not a full galaxy. They will only feature one sun and a couple of random planets, and they won't be moving on their orbits anymore. It was causing too many designs problems (what if you were taken in sandwich between two colliding planets?).
- you will no longer be able to acquire a station, a city or a planet. You will never have enough credits to afford those, so it was wasted time to implement them.
- we'll introduce a system of races and skills to make the game more interesting, because we all know that a game without those will be boring. 5 races will be available: the Rrama (directly inspired from A.C.Clarke of course!), the Iradlac, the Etnellag, the Evoj and the Ratamnim.
To reflect those changes, we also decided to rename the game. We have settled on a new name.. let's all wish a warm welcome to "Adam Offline" !
Haha yeah I laughed about that. Cannot believe how stupid some people are and went beserk and fell for it!
You only had to look at the name of the 5 races. How inlogical they were and so easy to read them backforward.
