Default Re: Star Trek Supremacy 4x BOTF 2

You know you stumbled upon a wicked source of lazy talent here too. From artists to programmers.

I hope we can get you some folks to help out. Most of us love a good challenge and it was BOTF that got me into 4x gaming in the first place.

Don't worry guys, I didn't take what you said as criticism. We want the game to be as good as it can be, and a new pair of eyes can sometimes see things that ours can't - therefore the more people that test the game, the better.

One of the main criticisms of BOTF has always been the UI - it was good, but there are so many ways that it could be improved upon now that technology has moved on. And that's precisely what we hope to achieve with Supremacy. Seriously, if there is anything that you want changed, removed, or added, just let us know. One of the most recent changes has actually been the addition of new keyboard shortcuts, all of which were suggested by users on the forums. It might be something that in retrospect seems incredibly obvious, but it wouldn't have been implemented if people hadn't actually said something about them. Mike is making the game FOR the community, so the community needs to be involved. Whatever ideas you have, no matter how big or small, please let us know about them.

...

As for helping with the game, we really would like all the help we can get - in fact we have a whole forum section dedicated to just that, which you can find Here. (Link)

More specifically though, we've got threads on different jobs, so if you'd like to get involved, please check them out:

General Job Information (Link)

2D Artists Needed To Make Minor race Emblems (Link)

2D Artists Needed To Make General Building Images (Link)

2D Artists Needed To Make Minor Race Special Structure Images (Link)

Musicians Needed To Make Music For The Game (Link)

Writers Needed For The Starship Descriptions (Link)

Voice Actors Needed For The Combat System (Link)

Hopefully this will drum up some help for the BOTF2 project. Thanks to anyone that wishes to help.

...

One thing I forgot to mention in my last post; the Combat Demo is incompatible with Windows Vista. Wolfe is working on a fix which should be part of the next update, whenever he releases it. Sorry if you use Vista. You might want to consider upgrading to XP.
