SEV - I posted beside Aaron and all I got was this T-shirt

[HercMighty]

What is the projected release of SE V to be? Just a general type answer like summer of 2004. New to game and forum and have seen the talk about SE V and was just wondering what time frame it may come out. I think star fury is coming out this summer isn't it?

Starfury is coming out this summer. And production on SEV has yet to start Last I heard. I assume after Starfury is out they will begin to throw bits and pieces together into SEV, but I don't know for sure so don't mark my words. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

[Zarix]

My guess is 2005 or 2006. I have understood that SE5 is supposed to use the 3d engine of Starfury to replace the current 2d battles. Aaron might start making SE5 when he has finished Starfury but there is also a change that he does some other game next.

[minipol]

I think 2005. He'll be able to use pieces from Starfury and maybe from SEIV. If he's doing a complete rebuild then i would guess 2006.

[Captain Kwok]

I don't think so.

Look for SE:V towards the end of this year or early 2004. Not 2005 or 2006!!!

[Fyron]

That's too optimisitic Kwok. MM has not even started with the design stages of SE5 yet. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

[Malfador Machinations]

Hi All!

Too optimistic? No, its true, we're shooting for a summer 2004 release date for SE5. That may be unduly optimistic at this point, but what the hell. We have begun design of the game and are working out the UI as we speak.

Starfury should be out by July!

Aaron

[Fyron]

He speaks!

Wow... that is pretty fast to write a game. When can I sign up to be a beta tester? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Nothing on-topic to say here, just that I just wanted to be in a thread that Malfador has posted in.

[Unknown_Enemy]

So we can still try to convince Aaron to adopt the 3d galaxy map of MOO3.

Mewant to feel like fighting/negociating/cheating (copyrigth Kuzutov tm) in a real galaxy.

[leo1434]

Yes, we all want to stay in the same camera shot!

Say cheese!

A 3d galaxy map would be wonderful! No so for a 3d "quasi realtime" tactical combat map.

Nice to see fire arcs added (same as MOO2),and may be the posibility to armor the ships in sectors (front armor, rear and side armor)

The other thing: Tactical surface combat, similar to Panzer General! (Easy to learn, difficult to master!)

Let's wait for northern hemisphere summer 2004!!!

Malfador Machinations and Aaron simply rocks!!!

These guys have firmly secured there status as the King of 4X games. The MOO guys relinquished their crown, and then released an un-inspired games in MOO3. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Thanks Aaron, and please continue the innovative work in this under utilized genre of gaming. Is there a forum topic in full swing about issues with regards to gamer inputs for SEV? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

I was actually going to post something. Now, I forgot!

So, HI, everyone!

Maybe it will come back to me after I regain some composure! Let's hope! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Yeah, awesome idea!
I second this one.
Panzer General is incredible simple, and at the same time incredible addictive.
And is turn based!

[Ed Kolis]

Hey, I actually have an excuse to post in this thread...

Aaron, that "MM" avatar of yours is cool looking, but wouldn't it be even cooler if the fires of hell burning inside the M's were animated? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/shock.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon6.gif

[minipol]

we should rename this thread the "i-was-in-the-same-thread-as-Aaron-and-i-said-hi-to-mum" thread.

although i was in front of the camera WAAAAY before most of you in this thread, i forgot to say hi to my mum, so here goes:

* waves to the camera, hi mum, wiiiieeeeee *
* keeps running around like a madman and no, it's not because of Belgian beer *

[leo1434]

Thanks Mr. Aloofi for your support!

I was sure there were some Former Panzer Generals
trying to conquer the SEIV Universe!

I think the tactical ground combat may be "optional": You can play it, or if not, resolve it just like it is played now with one click. This Last option, for the ones who don´t want to get mud in their boot soles.

Right on, guys. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon6.gif Panzer General series is probably close to #2 for all-time addictive game, in my book... SEIV #1 of course.

[Kamog]

Hi! I can't resist any longer. It's a bit late now, but better late than never! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif I was in the same thread as Aaron! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Should we start a new thread to request the Panzer General like ground combat for SEV? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif
