Description:

It is a classical space simulator. The player should operate various spacecrafts, receive and carry out tasks. Game process includes flights and fights. There are elements of a quest and nonlinearity of tasks. The player can have a choice. The choice influences the subsequent missions.

Following campaigns and missions are at present completed:
Campaign 00 - Simple work
Mission 00 - One more flight
Campaign 01 - Usual enemies of mankind
Mission 00 - Threat on horizon
Mission 01 - The help goes
Mission 02 - It has begun
Campaign - Simple combat missions
Mission 00 - 5 versus 5 (different ships)

The physics of the game world is simplified. In game there is no real space.

Graphic opportunities of game are at a level of 2000 year.

Game supports only keyboard. Keys can be looked and changed in the game.

Attention! Probably, there is a problem of Vista compatibility. This problem is rather simple. Look a readme-file.


I hope, visitors of a site will pay attention to this game. I ask to place the comments, recommendations and critical remarks at a forum. All received information will be used for perfection of game.

@ Velonski
Wow, I have to say, I'm definately impressed.

I will state the good points and the bad points, but overall I'm very impressed, even though I didn't play it for very long.
Good points:
The menu was very well done and easy to use
The game started quickly
The cutscenes were well done
Space was suitabley filled to look interesting
There was a lot of content, the sort I don't normally see when looking at WIPs here

Bad points:
There were a few spelling mistakes.
The menu background sped up when it was waiting for keyboard input (for selecting keys).
Space seemed very bright? - I mean, it could be that you're in a nebula, but it just seemed not black enough. :S
The starfield-effect when you're moving seemed cool, but didn't really seem to fit when you're moving past another planet, because there would no stars between you and that planet.
The loading screens looked like cat hair. xD!

But still, don't let any of that put you off, this is a very good WIP. I just didn't spend long playing so I mainly remember the bad points.

Thanks. I shall consider all your recommendations. Soon I shall publish the new version of game. Together with it additional mission will be published.

In advance excuse me. I shall seldom appear at a forum.

Looks slick. Since I can't game on this little PC, any chance of a video?
