   Gate88 - a multiplayer action/rts game set in space.
  Hi,As the subject suggests, Gate88 is a multiplayer action/rts game set in space.  Though the game is still in development, it is fully playable.  There is a single player component ("practice mode") as well as a working multiplayer component.  In each mode, the objective is to protect your command center while destroying your opponents.  Of course you can build turrets, shipyards, research, etc.  Big space battles are quite common in this game.The replay function works so be sure to check it out -- you'll get an idea for how the gameplay works.  You can fast forward, slow-mo, and pan the camera around.  The game manual will show you what all the controls are.The game can be found at http://www.queasygames.com/gate88  .The download link and screenshots are all on the one page so you won't have to navigate around to find everything.Also, drop by the forum and say hi.  I'd really appreciate any comments, suggestions and any bug reports that you have.Thanks!-jps: the menu system may seem alien at first but after five minutes in "sandbox mode" you'll get to understand everything.   
  I'll be checking this out tommorow.  I'll be on a faster connection then.  I looked at the screen, and the gam ehas a very bool personality from what I could see.  I'll be looking forward to playing it!   ;  Really cool game.  It has a nice feel.  The music rocks.  Nice going.[Edited by - MikeMJH on July 18, 2004 3:10:30 AM];  Hey thanks for the comments.  I'm glad you liked the music!-j   ;  That's pretty cool, I can't even imagine what practice on HARD is like.  God damn easy was rough enough.Just two questions:1. Is there a way to generate more resources / faster?2. How do I put ships into different groups?  They all go into Red (I think), the one at the top of the list.Its pretty fun and I like the whole 1 builder that you control style, rather than the omnipotent control of multiple builders.   ;  Thanks for your comments GroZZleR.  To answer your questions:  right now there are no other ways to gain resources.  This'll be changed in the future though not drastically.To reassign your shipyard to another group go into the menu and select the group you want.  Within that menu you'll see that the bottom option is to reassign the shipyard.-j
