TurboSlug22 Posted September 26, 2010 Report Posted September 26, 2010 (edited) Hello, What is everspace? EverSpace is an upcoming zone which allows players to mine asteroids for ore, freight ore in their cargo bay to refineries to refine into minerals which are freighted to factories to manufacture items with for selling/equipping or trading. During transit these items, and those equipped on the player's ship are subject to piracy by other players. There are NPC's that you can kill to collect common and rare items, we currently have 320 items and have plans for 1500 or more. Players can design and build their own tiles-based bases and defend them with sentry guns. Tiles will have hit points and are destructible so bases can be sieged and destroyed although it is difficult. Depending on the size of ship, ships can equip a variety of (upto 24) items which affect many aspects of game play. Indeed, players can mix and match different items to come up with unique configurations as desired. There are items that make you faster, make you do more damage, make you resist damage more effectively, make you repair faster, make your opponent unable to run away etc. We have plans to allow players to equip up to 8 guns which each fire their own unique bullet which has its own damage amount, speed and energy cost. Players will also enjoy having Shield hit points as well as Armor hit points. Shield tanking and or armor tanking will be a viable strategy for players. Gameplay will span multiple arenas, ?go is disabled so players must travel semi-linearly from arena to arena using 'jumpgates'. The farther you travel from pub, the more difficult NPC's are and the more money you can make. Currently we have 10 arenas and have plans for many more. We also have plans for an in-game graphical user interface which will allow players to visually select and equip/sell/reprocess items that they own. I have attached an alpha version of one such menu. The game should be lots of fun.. Before you criticize the feasibility of any of the affore mentioned features, please take note that we have discussed these features at length and have already devised viable methods for implementing them all. Actually, the only valid criticism of this project so far has been scope. That's why we've elected to pay for development. 2 things Can we have an EverSpace section with a development subsection under zones here so we can coordinate our development? Second, EverSpace has several outstanding CASH bounties for ASSS modules as well as GFX development that we need completed. Join chat=EverSpace if you are interested. Again, we are paying via paypal for completion of several outstanding modules and gfx - we have already paid out $450 in dev bounties - hope to see you in chat=everspace Edited September 26, 2010 by TurboSlug22 Quote
TurboSlug22 Posted September 26, 2010 Author Report Posted September 26, 2010 I added this in another thread but it fits here too:------EverSpace will revitalize this community, guaranteed. We have a budget for external advertising, plus a very very well planned idea for exploding our population - more on that later... Since we expect to be drawing lots of new players from outside the community into our zone, we also have plans to take those players and spread them out among the community. Specifically, our zone will send a zone wide message similar to the following: "The top 3 players in kills in DSB after 3 hours will be awarded with 10,000 ES credits" This message is only sent to players in the EverSpace zone in an attempt to get them to play other zones. We will offer a similar service to all zones and ask nothing in return. Anyway, just trust me, EverSpace will be epic and it will revitalize this community in a BIG way Quote

op2rules Posted September 29, 2010 Report Posted September 29, 2010 The whole plot and everything for the zone sounds super gay but with advertising and budget and stuff I'm all for this thing happening! Quote
TurboSlug22 Posted November 6, 2010 Author Report Posted November 6, 2010 ***UPDATE*** EverSpace reaches out to ModDB - Development picks up steam! http://www.moddb.com/forum/thread/devs-wanted-paid This should also put some attention on our community and bring some new players to the zone - ModDB is a very large community. Also remember that a significant portion of our community play many zones, so new players for EverSpace means new players for all our zones. Especially considering we've been making agreements to dump them on you anyway Stay tuned... We're almost there Quote

»Maverick Posted December 6, 2010 Report Posted December 6, 2010 (edited) Am I correct in saying that Everspace has joined SSC? Edited December 6, 2010 by Maverick Quote

JoWie Posted December 6, 2010 Report Posted December 6, 2010 Am I correct in saying that Everspace has joined SSC? Yep "SSC Everspace" Quote
spidernl Posted December 6, 2010 Report Posted December 6, 2010 How much money we talkin here I bought a Mclaren MP4 after finishing my hello world module.Yeah, that's before its official 'launch'. In other words, the pay is slightly below Dutch minimum wages. Quote

Dav Posted December 8, 2010 Report Posted December 8, 2010 Why is there no server suffix on the zone? are you guys on your own server? Quote
deadonarrival Posted December 29, 2010 Report Posted December 29, 2010 Is this going anywhere? As always with Continuum nowadays I'm going with the "I'll believe it when I see it" theme, but it sounds like it could be fun to play with a dozen people - as long as you don't add too much scope too early. It's the sort of idea you could kill by giving the early adopters too much to do and making it into basically a single player where you see someone else every 100 hours. Quote
»Xog Posted December 29, 2010 Report Posted December 29, 2010 its a big project, but weve been moving along nicely Quote
L.C. Posted December 29, 2010 Report Posted December 29, 2010 UNGH still no pictures in this thread. Quote
