Done!

I'm looking into disabling CPU throttling completely, since the site is not paying out anything right now.. I'm not sure I'll be able to handle this correctly, but I'll try.

Ugh, two months late, but I've renewed the certificate thingy..

Fixed firefox crash by removing the icon font (no idea what is going on here, probably have to regenerate it or something...).

Also, the ads are finally gone for good, which I promised a long time ago too.

Anyways, the hosting will expire soonish, so I'll be around in a few weeks trying to pay for it.

Wanted to tune speedzoom, but looks like it's already on Merry XMas

OK, sorry for taking my sweet time, had to double-check everything. Still probably made a few mistakes, but all the affected planets should be back to original (10k) population.

RE: some complaints about planets being left un-attended, claimable and open for plexiglass stealing. That indeed happened, I'm kinda sorry for this, but I think it's a nice side-effect and a plot hook for the game :)

Sorry guys, there was indeed a bug during the update, regarding pre-existing 10k pop planets. Now I have to dig up a backup and compare everything, so I'd really appreciate if you could PM me the names of the planets to speed things up.

Very glad to hear it. I've also disabled all ads for the time being, let this be a non-profit/regular game for now.


I've just personally went to 1-0 and bombarded it to hell, so you should get some time to prepare yourselves for the next attack. The feature is still enabled, as a nice motivator to rebuild the galaxy.

The Lost Ones have returned from the Scattering.

Every owned planet with no population at all has been flooded by a surge of doomsday refugees from distant corners of the universe. Do they still hold the values familiar to the ones left behind, or are they completely different people? With each broken warehouse slot, comes a free package worth ten units of plexiglass. Each planet owner attached to a squad brings 80000+ satoshi to squad coffers per each depopulated planet owned.

Hopefully that can offset all the damage done by Doomsday while the server was unavailable (yet still running).

Trinkle of satoshi.

So, as promised, I'm redirecting premium proceeds to our faucet balances. Thank you.

That's very kind of you. Thanks, but I managed to scrub some dust :/

Thus, satoshigalaxy.com is back online. I'm not promising to refill the faucet balances ever and will post appropriate message on the main page.

Sorry if this is let down for anyone. The best way to help the game would be buying premium, I promise to redirect 100% of the proceeds to balance refill, no profits in mind...

Anyways, hope there are still people interested in playing this.. And if anyone is up for buying the whole game, that would be great too.

Nope, it's down to 0.002 BTC now o_O

@jankeman, that would be great, but I really need to have control over that domain name. I don't mind you buying/getting it, but I'd need authorative access to.

OH, I forgot to mention -- even if the game does come back, it won't be paying any satoshi. There won't be any ads either, if that's of any consolation.

(Just checked, the hosting is still up and running! And will continue doing so for quite some time. 1 domain name could indeed bring the game back.)

Update: satoshigalaxy.com could be brought back for 0.002 BTC o_O

Hey guys.

So the game is effectively dead, stupidly. What has happened is that, I was the last guy left on the team, and I didn't (still don't) have any resources/free time, etc to support it :( First it was hosting, now it's the domain name.

AFAIK, satoshigalaxy.com domain is completely lost to squatters, so I wouldn't even attempt to recover it. I could try buying a new domain name, and (re)setting everything up. To my knowledge, the game still runs somewhere, the database is intact, etc.

Still, I don't have a single satoshi to my name, so if anyone's interested, please donate 10$ to the cause :( I think that would be enough to buy one. (I'll go and check if this indeed is viable, to be updated)

AND, if anyone is interested, SatoshiGalaxy (game code + world database - domain) is for sale, for the modest price of 1 BTC.

YES I'M STILL BUMPING THIS

OK, so I've gathered the info about Doomsday, and am hoping to clear EVERYTHING up now.

First off, yes, the planet in question IS indeed 1-0 (former Sadalsud).

It starts off empty, and then slowly (?) grows to it's full potential (large population, factory and wharf modules, etc). As soon as it has a wharf, Doomsday construction begins there. The more population, wharfs, and other modules this planet has, the faster the construction goes.

When the construction is over, Doomsday gets spawned at a random location (NOT near 1-0), and does it's thing.

In addition, interesting loot is constantly being generated and placed into the planet's warehouse. With it's def grid at 0%, you SHOULD be able to collect it. So if you aren't (@onlinedigger), that's a bug!

So if you destroy some modules, you slow Doomsday construction down. If you magma melt/terraform the planet, it will STILL get back on it's track,
but that, obviously, should take the most time. I don't have the numbers still, but I think it should take about a month or even more (with current settings), for the planet to go from ZERO MODULES to -> new Doomsday. I wouldn't waste an expensive rocket on that, I think good ol' Orbital Cannon should do the trick.

Now, as you guys say, not everything might be working as described here. But that's the general outline. I'll try to persuade the devs to look into the loot/def.grid bug, and when/if you guys decide to wipe this thing down, I'll be happy to look and measure the results.

@baksa77, I did.

Ahh, I see, you're a fan of DOGE in particular. Actually, I think we can work something out, I'll PM you in a moment.

Thank you for the report. It's likely a bad ad, like you say, but I don't think I can find/fix it and definitely not fast enough :( Is the situation over?


No need, thank you. But you might consider buying premium if you really want to help :)

---

jankeman, thanks, but no need. Same thing regarding premium applies, though ;)

The DOGE situation is pretty stupid, I don't have access to a few things, so I can't refill it right now. I'll get to it.

Fixed your CPU.

BTW, I forgot to thank @pcjob for letting me know about the faucethub (already resolved) issues.

Everyone, sorry if I keep missing your messages, please do not hesitate to kick me if you think something got lost.

BUMP - Come crunch some satoshi!

BUMP - It has risen from the dead once again.

OK, we're back!

I hear you all, the game IS laggy, but I don't think I will be able to do anything anytime soon.

Oh, and there's even been a small Update:

• [SG2] Add zoom in/out buttons to sector hud.
• [SG2] Add zoom in/out buttons to galaxy map.
• [ENC] Add zoom in/out buttons to map screen.

This should help some devices/browsers to zoom the game.

OK, I have some news, the game will come back in a few days (maybe in a week). Our server went down, but we are working on it.

Sorry for yet another delay in relaying this info. There was a moment of uncertainty there, but it looks like we're not done yet :)

Sorry for all the delays/downtimes/etc.

The faucet is still paying, so please come and take what's rightfully yours.

Hi guys.

So I've been following some other games/projects and I always wondered how could they fail their support THAT hard. Well, now I know.

The game is weirdly still alive, there just wasn't anyone to restart the server (for 23 days, it seems).

"Sorry" won't cut it this time, so I dunno, I've enabled 2x speed zoom until further notice.

Regarding Doomsday: just wipe out it's planet; with current settings, it should take forever till it rebuilds itself.

I'll try to work through emails/PMs/CPU leaks now.
