archimage_a Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 Because in all of us is the spirit of Jean Luc Picard, just wanting to sit in the chair shouting 'Engage!' or given a suitably dramatic pause before shouting 'FIRE'.Well, this game does that!It also allows the Helm and Tactical Officer to totally ignore the Captain's sense of drama and just fire the weapons when you are in range, and plot a course, rather than just sitting like a lemon because the Captain just shouted 'GET US OUT OF HERE!!!' with no bearings. If this sounds appealing then I recommend you download the demo for the Artemis simulator, board the USS Falador and prepare to protect your homeworld, Tavenius.http://artemis.eochu.com/buy.html ______ Game comes as a demo, which is three player.If there is serious interest, and the game is fun and working, then I will buy the full version(it comes with no copy protection and the advisory to share with your bridge crew, so I can upload it to all those who want to play...However if I did I would strongly ask you not to share outside the Tavern, since if it is good then that kinda screws over the designer.)Full version is 6 player.Microphones would definately help, but are not vital...Worst case we can use IRC, the captain has no job but to bark orders and watch the battle unfold on the view screen.If you do have a microphone then a certain lack of embaressment at shouting at your computer would be helpful. :thumbup: Anyway, if people are interested I wouldn't mind running/playing in a game tonight, around 6 pm GMT. http://www.uzzisoft..../archimage.jpegWell I knew you wouldn't agree.

Hegelstad Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 Too hard to competite with other games such as Minecraft with a hefty price tag of 40$Needs a lot of work on the graphics too. But I like the gameplay/concept. My lame drops:6 Effigys1 D Med - 1 D Dagger1 Verac's Helmet - 1 Guthan's Platebody Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

archimage_a Posted January 18, 2011 Author Share Posted January 18, 2011 The premise, I gather, is that since you can't play the game yourself you need a 'crew'...and since you can run(as they allow, in practical terms, unlimited) 6 copies from one purchase, the idea is that you pool your money, so it only costs...$6.67 per person, in theory.

Hegelstad Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 How does one play this game? What controls? I'm interested in joining and I have perfect host capabilities, including 15/15 Mbps connection and port forwarding so hamachi ain't needed. If necessary I can possibly set up a mumble server too =) My lame drops:6 Effigys1 D Med - 1 D Dagger1 Verac's Helmet - 1 Guthan's Platebody Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archimage_a Posted January 18, 2011 Author Share Posted January 18, 2011 Its all about manipulating the onscreen controls, very intuitive.Hosting is kind of a drag because you have 0 control over anything...you just get to watch and play captain(which is fun). Join as a client, prefix code 9001, and 192.168.1.3 Ip Adress. http://www.uzzisoft..../archimage.jpegWell I knew you wouldn't agree. I know how you hate facing facts.
