Reply to New Official Founders Welcome Thread - Introduce Yourself! in Founders Starbase StarControl Forums

HI, I'm Martijn van der Kooij and I just became a founder. I did not play the original game, but am interested in the creation process. And it looks like a game I would like to play. Other games I play are Total Annihilation/Sup Com and Elite Dangerous, but The Mass Effect series is also great. As full time software developer it is interesting to see the trouble of fellow developers :-) The software I develop for a living is for dairy farms. There is also my hobby

Reply to Fire and RTS gaming: September 2016 in Escalation Dev Journals Stardock Forums

I like how knucklecracker.com handles it. They used a demo for their new game particle fleet so people know what they will get. They also have very loyal followers. Ofcourse, the game itself is much simpler, but it shows you can use simpler graphics and still have a good strategic game. While a game like Supcom is nice, I would not care if it had the looks of total annihilation as long as it has the game mechanics. Use a demo to prepare people for the graphics and do not

[quote who="Kazriko" reply="19" id="3650253"] It's not going to be a blood in the streets, lets kill all the useless people or let them starve sort of thing. [/quote] But is what is now happening in the big cities with the black lives matter not a prelude on this? A lot of people do not have work and have little hope for a better life which makes this problem only bigger. (I could be wrong, but it looks that way from my side of the atlantic)

Reply to Topic #2: UI - mouse controls in Ashes of the Singularity Founders AshesoftheSingularity Forums

My preferred pan action would be zoom in/ out. I like the RMB at the moment more than I would like the middel Mouse button which is also the scroll button and i always seem tot scroll a bit while pressing this button. I have no problem with the "missing" icins. But tot be not able tot zoom out completely is something i really miss.

1. Does it work on your computer? Yes, works fine, only my 1920x1200 resolution is not supported 2. Does it perform well on your computer? Seems so, i've a bit older computer. See below for specs. I did not have a lot of units on my screen so far. 3. Any other feedback you might have? Very slow pace at the moment. Multiple placing (with shift key) of orders would be nice. GUI feedback is something t

Look good but why 70-80% processor usage? in GalCiv Beta Feedback GalCiv3 Forums

Just run the first time and it looks very promising! I noticed that my processor was in use for 70-80% the whole time. Even when nothing happened and it was waiting on me to press the button for the next turn. It is ofcourse not optimised yet, but I wonder where the cpu power goes to :-) Or is there a issue with calculating over 200FPS like the early version of Galciv 2? Keep up the good work! Martijn <p

[quote who="GunslingerBara" reply="27" id="2801822"]I have a few friends playing Minecraft, but I don't want to get into it just yet. Too many other games to play. Once there's a lull in a couple months I'll buy it. It does look extremely interesting though.[/quote] Don't buy it if you have other games to play / work to do.... Don't say we did not warn you... It is amazing how much gameplay is in here, just use your fantasy. And

[quote who="Savyg" reply="14" id="2622304"] Quoting Moosetek13, reply 13I think it is just too much TV and sugar, and not enough time spent in the old fashion ways. Or did I just 'luck out' with all my kids that have not been 'diagnosed' with all these new kind of 'diseases'? I guess it could simply be genetics. But still, I wonder. Why do these types of things seem to be occurring more and more? ADHD was often a misdiagn

[quote quoting="post"] Europe…Well, not so much. There are currently no plans to have a retail presence in Europe. I don’t want to talk too much about this lest I get into trouble but let’s just say, our previous games have been available in retail in western Europe and as much as we like making a nickel per copy sold, we think we’ll pass this time. The retail situation in Europe is just insane and in the age of digital distribution, we’re just not willing
