Master of Orion Remake ? :O

[Monocause]

Absolutely hate the aesthetics. Both MoO2 and MoO3 had far superior art directions, with MoO2 being cyberpunk-ish about the races and the colour palette while MoO3 went awesome grimdark. Why would they opt to make MoO look cute? It's kinda like Anno 2205 meets Black&White.

Don't think I'll be playing this.

1. Q, Worf and Barclay

2. 50 bucks? Yeah, not going to happen.

3. 8 emperors and just 2 empresses? The SJW and feminist crowd is going to tear this a new one...

4. What's the difference between humans and terrans?

They are still working on tactical combat so of course they will not show it. Not really worth watching.

Still a work in progress. Lots of placeholder graphics waiting on artwork, but almost all of the game functionality is done.

There's not going to be open testing until the Beta next year. Alpha 2 is scheduled for 1Q 2016.

It's going to be a fairly strict Java implementation of MOO1 with updated graphics and sound. It's still in progress, but moving along. The plan is to make it available for free and eventually open-source the code.

Here's a Q&A I did with explorminate a few months ago: http://explorminate.net/2015/07/28/java-moo-master-of-orion-qa/

Ray, how is your work doing? )

From what I understand this will have starlanes and RTwP combat.

It's coming along very well. I've recently had to rename the game from "Java MOO" to avoid copyright issues with Wargaming, but in general they have been very cool with the project.

I've created a website to serve as a clearinghouse for information about the game: www.PretendStudios.com
The dev blog has moved to www.RemnantsOfThePrecursors.com
The twitter feed is now at @PretendStudios

Nothing about the game has changed except the name, which I assumed was inevitable anyway.

The original "1Q 2016" for the Alpha 2 has moved back to April (maybe May!) because I underestimated the time required for the necessary artwork. However, it is definitely moving forward -- after all this is the full-time, paid job for the illustrator. There is no scope creep since the feature list is fixed. Every item done is one less item remaining to do.

but.. but.. why another human race?? i mean its not that important hopefully the game will be moddable.. but why the fuck another humanoid??

RTwP combat wasn't something I was expecting, so this "remake" somehow let down my already low expectations

I felt absolutely nothing, until Mark Hammill came in with a Joker-esque line at the end.

This game has a LONG way to go.

I seen some combat. First impressions are not very positive but I might need to see it played by someone that knows what they are doing.

an theey decided to make another bipedal ... FFS ( HUMANOID)

I'm putting the new website to use.

If you are the kind of person who likes interesting forum avatars (I am), I have created a media page with forum avatars from each of the 5 races currently added to Remants of the Precursors (was Java MOO).

Of course, this number will double when the beta rolls out but 5 is what we have right now.

That link goes to an exiting steam url and then 404s.

 

[Grotesque]

so this game is a less than Stardrive 2 but a more cinematic experience...

RayF is there a facebook page for your project?

The artwork for those avatars is top notch!
