Hi, I would love such types of games, particularly since the only one we actually have in the community is space explorer and I'm sorry to say that that game isn't exactly on my top 10 list. What exactly would your game entail if you made it, would it just be trading between planets, or could you actually do other things such as fight pirates, mine asteroids etc?

hey this sounds good. is the universe going to be of a fixed size or a procedurally generated? universe? if this game takes off no pun intended, would you consider an online version?

you know what I'd love to see, this sort of game but taken further. start in the stone age, build yourself up scientifically, militarily as well, going through the ages, then into the modern space age then into the galactic age and out into the universe. I've always wanted something like that.

I'm glad this would be offline first, as it stands, there are too many poorly implemented space muds that are no fun to play. Time for single player space games.

I would pay for this.
I really like to play aurora, It is pretty amazing. You can trade, make ships based on your interest, conquer, defend, It is beautiful. but the screen is very complex, and you will end up having 15 spreadsheet windows openned and getting confused.

@audiogamer21 I did not.
I used to scout their forum and  read  user stories and such.

In my opinion, what is unique about aurora is the value-based customization. for example, when creating weapons for your ships, It won't give you a list of  presets for  the aspects of that weapon. You have to give values for speed, reload, splash damage, penetration and such. That way, you will end up with a custom weapon with your own values that no other user has ever thought of, for example.

@darren What else do you suggest? I need to be sure that enough people will play this, lest this be a wasted effort.

@connor142 have you read the wiki pages? This isn't a persistent online universe, at least on initial release.

Also, I feel like multiplayer would work much better in a real-time setting, but turn-based games are much more amenable to being accessible because you have all the time you need to process incoming information and make decisions (which directly makes it more difficult to work with for multiplayer unless both parties don't mind waiting or you impose arbitrary time limits).

Its definitely planned though in future if this takes off.

Hi I also want to play such a game. We nearly nave none of those games in the blind community.
Like all the other posters the only games on my mind are "space explorer", wich is not really good and this Aurora or Aura game.
I especcially would love to see this game being turned into a sort of Civilisation game.

To  be honest with you,  I think you’ll find that a game like this would be a given.  I don’t think that by any means this would be considered a waste of time.

Hi

please add me to the list as well, sounds very, very interesting, and i would be glad to pay for it as well

they aren't talking about another space invaders clone if they were then I would agree or I simply wouldn't give this thread any attention. but it's not it's significantly different.
