Hi im obviously new here. I stubmled across this site with a friend...we have both been playing BOTF for about 7 or 8 years now...its by far our favourite game EVER!

when i saw this site i nearly fell backwards. I tried looking everywhere for info, and i dont understand. Are you guys actually making a new BOTF?? or just a modification? ide happily pay whatever your charging..i

i downloaded the botf 2 database...its really cool but i dont get what the whole objective is here.

please tell me whats happening here, ive been out of the loop


thanks

there are currently 4 games under development here, two are botf sequals these are supremacy and birth of the empires
another is a browser based game which is also turn based, this game is called alligance
the final game is a diferent genre and is called new beginings.
none of the game are mods, they are full games

thanks for the help

i downloaded both empires and supremecy.

both look like they are comming along really well

how do i move ships around in Empires??

Ooh these threads are my domain!

If you need any info about anything, Harafias, just let me know. Chances are i'll know it - or know where to find out!

...

To move a ship in BOTE, simply select the fleet icon in the sector, (Eg the Federation symbol) then click on the ship that you want to move at the bottom of the screen.

You can then click wherever you want the ship to go on the map.

Kenneth is right, Harafias - we need all the help we can get to make the game(s). We are making as many images, music files, models, and whatnot as fast as we can, and are then uploading them to a special sharepoint site. ALL the programmers have to do is pick-and-choose the files that they need for their own games then. Doing it this way speeds up the development rate of the games - but we still need people to make stuff in the first place!

Welcome to the site.

thanks for the info mate


unfortunetly i have no experience with game designing or anything like that


i still cant see the ships though...apparently its because i dont have the correct screen resolution (my monitor is over 5 years old)

guess ill have to wait until a new version is uploaded

When I first came to this site I though models were either plastic airplanes or good looking young girls on the covers of magazines. While here I have learned to build 3D space ship models, create 2D images for the games and to record and upload vocal readings for game audio. I first stumbled on this site after getting board doing beta testing. Thanks to a lot of help from other BOTF crew I am now contributing in all these categories.

It comes down to what you want to do and are willing to take the time to learn. I got tired of just playing games and turned to beta testing. When I got tire of that I turned to helping to create games. It is not for everyone but if you are willing we will teach you what you need to know.

The download game segments do not have all game functions. 3D ships will show up in time. In the mean time you can see some previews of them here.

If only Kenneth could assimilate him in some kind of borg like fashion, production would incease ten fold as we all join his collective sharing in his accumalted skills muwahahahah.. *cough*

err. NM
