Just thought of something, if you need in-game music, could have a word with Cypherfunks https://soundcloud.com/thecypherfunks

Thanks for the suggestion Varvarin. I will definitely keep them in mind for audio assets if we need any.

JT has also offered to do epic voiceovers (thanks JT!).

At this stage I want to keep the game light on bandwith use for both the server and the players, so there may not be much sound at all.

But a video introducing Crypto Galaxies before it launches might be pretty awesome.

Can you do like an app that's downloaded when you visit the site (I'm thinking like Runescape), with the sound part of that? Then just call those files as needed.

Browser based without download is good as then it will work on all platforms including mobiles / Android tablets / iPads and iPhones etc.

Plus people can be wary about downloading apps for anything crypto related.

It's an interesting idea though I'll keep it in mind.

My current focus is tweaking the game mechanics to make sure the game is balanced and will run forever and the economics works and is sustainable (this is very complex), improving the UI, and integrating this new code that adds many awesome features I mentioned in a previous post.

Later in development I will see about your idea.

While i was looking at that screenshot and couldn't remember where i've seen it before. And now it pops out of my mind, this is near like Hyperwars right?

EDIT: I played it for a while when it was still accessible and i remember it was soo complex and slow, as you said. Its really long term game. Looking forward too.

You can consider the above screenshot as already outdated Smiley

Based on a similar engine.

However, you can see that I am looking at adding much more code, the game will be very different to HYPERwars in many respects.

I will try and post more screenshots soon of the actual codebase I am working with now as soon as I can.

Here is some more info I posted about it the other day:

For fairness and to help balance game mechanics I think people who purchase premium System's in Federation Space (immune from attack) can only ever have 1 planet in their system, so they not get too much of an unfair advantage in the game. It just means they have one homeworld that is safe in Federation space. Systems in Uncharted Space will be able to have up to 5 planets.

I am still playing around with all the parameters to see what will work best when we launch (when we open for beta testing that will help too).

I will update the OP soon with a full list of features.

At the moment I am looking at adding:

- Casino space stations where people can gamble their hard earned Federation credits (maybe with possibility for players to purchase and invest in owning their own space station casino!

- Unique alien artifacts players can discover and trade

- Adding more resources

- Adding more ship classes (different types of ships with more strengths and weaknesses)

- Ability for players to own as many "mothership" style ships as they would like, as well as potentially millions of fighters that can be used for System patrolling / defence or harassing enemies in non-Federation space

- 3D Galaxy Map

- Making the UI a lot more pretty

- Exploring the code in more depth

Hopefully, if all goes well I will have a much nicer development screenshot to post later today. I need to check a few things with some new code I am working with at the moment. If everything checks out, I will be able to confirm the above features as well.

Will post a list of confirmed game features as soon as I can (the above features are purely in development / speculation phase until I can see if it will be feasible).

EDIT: I just saw your edit above crazyjack. Don't worry Crypto Galaxies will come with full documentation, very detailed wiki, and strategy guides Smiley

Looks like the final game may have a Galaxy that keeps expanding (just like the real Universe).

Also, a long time HYPER supporter has let me know of a very interesting platform we can use for the blockchain assets for the star systems, and the decentralized trading of currencies, star systems and resources against HYPER and GP.

When players have a large empire in the late game, how much HYPER can they expect to earn?

Keep up the good development!  Smiley

Keep up the good development!  Smiley

Thanks for the encouragement! It's still early days.

There are two ways the game might go:

1.) Players won't be earning HYPER directly, but all the other in-game currencies and resources that will have their own blockchains and be traded against HYPER, GP and possibly BTC, on a decentralized exchange.

Earnings will depend on how people choose to play the game (and how they play the markets).

2.) The in-game currency will be pegged to HYPER and GP in some way, and HYPER and GP can be deposited and withdrawn from the game as players wish, withdrawing or depositing credits into their account.

Option 2 gives us more control over the economy, but option 1 appeals to me more as I want to see how the simulation pans out in a more in-depth way, and it will be more exciting for players too.

Whichever option is used in the final game, Star System ownership in Federation Space will be represented by ownership of a unique blockchain asset.

Owning a planet in Federation Space where it is immune from attack will give players a nice income stream (and a safe base of operations) for as long as they decide to maintain ownership of the System, but they will also be able to sell the Star System whenever they choose.

Been waiting many years for a game similar to this to come out and be able to potentially earn and play in an online setting with crypto currency .

I think option 1 would be of more benefit , currency is usually just a medium of exchange , giving value to other resources based on those individual resources values, so having the resources themselves valued and unique and being their own assets on the blockchain should allow for a more realistic economy .

Also there is a coin currently being made that allows for multiple coins on the same blockchain, the coin being made has 3 currencies currently , 1 for securing the POW of the blockchain, then 1 main currency and 1 coin you can stake to produce the main currency. It could easily be changed and used for in a gaming situation with many 10's of currencies all within the same blockchain, representing perhaps a main currency and 10's of different resources

Thanks for following guys.

At the moment I am working very hard on integrating the new features I mentioned a few posts up.

Will post screenshots as soon as I can.

Yes, I think having separate blockchains for the resources and currencies in-game would be ideal and I am working hard on that aspect of the game too.

Will have more updates soon!

"antimatter spaceship crowdfunding", that sounds awesome. Who is doing that?

At the moment it seems the current hosting we have (donated by a long time HYPER supporter along with the domain) might not be enough to handle what I'm working on.

Will see about getting it upgraded, we may need to switch hosts.

May be worth looking into something like AWS, especially if the game is going to grow (makes it easier to increase server stats).

Yea what's going on here ? Such a fun and clever idea fpr a game and a space explorer type game so up my ally now these devs/Dev just walks. Not cool man I really wanted to support and watch this thing grow. I hope more people comment here maybe the very slimmist chance it may make a difference.
