there is a way to see race stats and unique traits ? It’s already in your beta or only planned ? For example for Silicoid, they don’t need “normal” food, right ?.For example for Meklar, after my first colonist exit the ship, I don’t really understante the shape of the Meklar, too little I suppose arts are really nice, but I don’t like how new colony screen is rendered, in particular after a species reach the planet.It’s irritating that I’ve declared war to Bulrathi and move all my fleet to their system… but I cannot move all my rally points, and so my starship to the target I’m a guy that like to play the game full screen, enjoy tue music, atmosphere and put my focus on what I’m doing, so… why force players in use only windowed game ? Be aware it’s not a critic, but I hope a starting point for a discussion.Īnyway, some points I’d like to highlight I’m not sure create a MOO clone is right direction and I feel you are moving from that goal, every change you made fro a better UI is a change on the core experience. HI! I think your game is awesome and I’ve enjoyed in reading through the blog, to see how much work and progression do you have right now. I mainly came over to read some of the Java 2D posts, but figured it might be a good idea to plant a stake in the ground here for reference if any asks. I’m not really sure how much more information to put in this post. More informative might be a youtube video I uploaded recently, although it’s kind of targeted toward players who have been following the project. Here is a screenshots of the opening menu. My development blog is at along with a general informational site at Īlso a twitter feed at game is written completely in Java and will eventually be open-sourced. I expect to have an alpha out at some point soon. There is still a lot of artwork to do and a couple of more features.

I decided to learn for some Java Game dev forums, found this, and figured I’d throw this out for feedback. currently owns the copyright to this franchise and are agreeable to this project as long as it remains free and doesn’t use the “Master of Orion” title.Īlthough I’ve been a Java developer professionally for about 10 years, this is my first attempt at a game so I’m learning a lot of game development skills that I’ve never needed professionally. It’s a Java-based remake of the original “Master of Orion” game published by Microprose in 1993.

I’ve been developing this game in Java for the past year in my spare time.
