   Starfare - Real-time 3D RTS (beta)
  Hi,I just joined GD because I'd like to introduce my hobby project Starfare. It's basically a classic RTS with a sci-fi setting. We all know what it's about, raising up a huge fleet of cruisers and destroy the enemy's base. There is something special, though: Resources are placed on asteroids, which are moving, so the challenge is to protect your asteroids and bring down the enemy at the same time.The (core) dev-team is just two persons; me and a 3D model designer. I chose BlitzBasic 3D as game engine, which can unfortunately produce errors on modern OS'. However, the game is in beta stage now and is (and will be) free to download and play. The game is designed for win32 based PCs because the game engine does not support anything else.As I said, the game is about capturing asteroids and crushing your enemies. There are four fractions you can choose from (in a custom game), which all have certain bonuses:West Alliance - aggressive with a damage bonus, can construct the strongest unit in the whole gameEurasian Union - defensive, has bonus health points on all units, can construct a force field emitter that protects any unit insideAsian Confederation - objective, can construct cloaked units and all units have increased movement speedAfrican Concordat - supportive, can construct mobile repair units and has a bit of all bonuses I mentioned above.Some screenshots:More screenshots are available in our gallery.A gameplay video:">clickIf you're interested now, visit the project's website: http://starfare.net.tc (including twitter link if you mind following the developing progress)The beta download is available here.As I mentioned earlier, the game might not run on modern PCs, especially those with NVidia graphics chips. There is no fix yet, but I'm open for suggestions that might help :)If the game does not run on your PC (Memory Access Violation, lagging) please post your PC details, if possible.Have fun & thanks for reading,ZaP[Edited by - ZaPx64 on May 20, 2010 3:11:05 PM]
