blake00 Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 (edited) I spent endless hours playing Master of Orion 1 in the 90s so this sounds good! Pretty much a love letter to MOO1.. infinite techs.. dynamic AI.. wormhole/starlane game or not.. super customizable UI & gameplay. What's even crazier is that he's released the latest build (not just a demo) of the game for free on his kickstarter. Do you like free stuff? I like free stuff! :tongue:https://explorminate.co/dominus-galaxias-kickstarter-has-launched/ Edited October 25, 2019 by blake00 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaredletos Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 This game sounds nostalgic a bit for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blake00 Posted October 25, 2019 Author Share Posted October 25, 2019 Sadly it looks like it probably won't get funding in time.. got pretty close too. :sad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blake00 Posted June 28, 2020 Author Share Posted June 28, 2020 (edited) Well it got funded in the end so I was glad to be wrong lol! Speaking of which I've found yet another love letter to Master of Orion except this one is more MOO2 like! Has anyone here tried Interstellar Space Genesis? If so was it good? Was it stable? Apparently the indie team behind it consists of only 2 people haha! It looks pretty awesome so am thinking about trying it out now that it's finally on sale (it's normally pretty pricey lol). https://store.steampowered.com/app/984680/Interstellar_Space_Genesis/ Edited June 28, 2020 by blake00 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blake00 Posted July 5, 2020 Author Share Posted July 5, 2020 Well.. time was running out on the steam sale and the general response I'm getting in most places I asked was either silence or 'never heard of it so I don't know if it's good' haha.. However I watched this dudes let's play series below and that sold it for me.. so I’ve hit the button lol! As expected it’s graphics aren’t exactly revolutionary lol but damn is it addictive and fun to play. Last few days I've barely eaten, slept, worked.. it’s all gone to hell haha!! There's room for improvement though so I've been posting lots of feedback on the steam forum as the devs actually read your comments and respond which is a rarity these days haha!

blake00 Posted November 7, 2020 Author Share Posted November 7, 2020 If people are interested in more info I've finally just written a belated steam review with a big list of the game's pros and cons (IMO). https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198058803521/recommended/984680 Also just released some videos covering my thoughts too: Part 1 Part 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blake00 Posted December 20, 2020 Author Share Posted December 20, 2020 (edited) Ooooh just heard about another MOO like project called Alliance of the Sacred Suns (that seems to have been doing public betas for years under the name Imperia5x) when I saw it's kickstarter campaign. Looks like an interesting attempt at being different from regular Master of Orion like 4x space strategy games by focusing more on you the emperor.. feels kinda of like a 'Dune - Padishah Emperor simulator' managing those pesky greedy disobedient houses haha! Planetary management looks interesting, those separated regional environments and developments remind me of MOO3. A simple thing but I also love how the planets moons just swing past the camera while you're managing the world. Haven't seen any space battle footage so I dunno how that's managed. It's kickstarter period is over half way through but it's not even at half funded which is a bit worrying. It's been worked on for many years and seems so far along so hopefully the project would survive a KS failure.
