Jimbob: What do you mean, "...again"??? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Re: Secret Project Alpha
 

...So is this the SEIV real-time game we heard of before? OR something else?

Re: Secret Project Alpha
 

Don't know. The only ones that would know are the ones involved in it, and Shrapnel employees. And neither of them can say anything about it. Anybody who says what it is is guessing, lying, or vioalting a non-disclosure agreement. That's why they disguise the name in the forums, so they don't get a lot of questions they can't answer. There is no reason to think it is the new SEIV game though. Shrapnel has a lot of stuff in the works. They always do. Of course there is no reason to think it's not the new SE game either. We'll just have to wait and see.

Re: Secret Project Alpha
 

Actually it's just a forum we used to communicate with the Austerlitz beta testers prior to announcing the game, I need to get rid of it.

Besides if you Subscribe to the FRAG newletter you will hear about Aaron's new project...

Re: Secret Project Alpha
 

That is how Shrapnel names their forums before the announcment is made of what the game is going to be. The DO beta forum used to be called that.

Hadrian Tyrael S. Aventine,

Does the phase, non-disclosure agreement, ring a bell? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Re: Secret Project Alpha
 

Umm, if richard posted it on the Frag newsletter, and if Hadrian rePosts that, how does that go against Non-disclosure?

Re: Secret Project Alpha
 

I wasn't talking about the FRAG newsletter. I was referring to: "Richard, is Aaron's new project dropping the "Space Empires" title?" geesh

CHILL PILLS AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Re: Secret Project Alpha
 

Arrrgggghhhh!!!!

I want more info on the new Space Empires real time strategy game!

Re: Secret Project Alpha
 

The info is going to start leaking out soon enough http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif . Actually I gave Aaron a really cool idea Last week on how to add some additional fun to the game http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif .

So far only Tim Brooks and I have seen Aaron's new pre-alpha game, but you'll hear the first droppings of info when the next FRAG newsletter comes out http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif .

Re: Secret Project Alpha
 

And no Aaron's new project will have SE in the name.

It is NOT SE:V though...

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Ok, does that mean that it has SE in the name as in Space Empires, or SE in the name as in something line Dungeon Odyssey? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Re: Secret Project Alpha

Re: Secret Project Alpha
 

YOU KNOW, it is absolutely amazing how things just happen to leek out about projects!! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Re: Secret Project Alpha
 

It is a news letter. Richard has a link the bottom of his Posts.
http://www.shrapnelgames.com. That will let you sign up for it.

Agreed, we should be less confusing!!

Re: Secret Project Alpha
 

So I missed the newsletter.

http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon8.gif

So, WHAT WAS IN THAT DAMN THING ????????

Re: Secret Project Alpha
 

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">A brief blurb concerning an upcoming project by Malfador Machinations. It sounds interesting, but that's all I'm going to say about it here. In part because I don't know if it's kosher with Richard to reprint the article or give things away concerning it.

Moral of the story, Subscribe to the FRAG! Newsletter. Otherwise, Sarge might get mad. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Re: Secret Project Alpha
 

I signed up for the FRAG! newsletter today, is there a way I can get older Versions of the newsletter and see what I've missed or not?

Re: Secret Project Alpha
 

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">I take that as a 'no'.

Re: Secret Project Alpha
 

New name suggestion:

Space Empires Galaxies

Re: Secret Project Alpha
 

So if the newsletter is so secret, why is it available to anyone who happens by Shranel's homepage and has an email address? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/confused.gif

Re: Secret Project Alpha
 

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">*shrugs* There are some things that are exclusive to the newletter. It happens to be free of cost, but in return for your subscription, Shrapnel Games knows your email address, and can get some idea of how many of its customers are interested in receiving news about Shrapnel's various projects.

Suffice to say, it is worthwhile to both parties if you sign up for the FRAG! newsletter. I am not certain, however, if it would be as beneficial if everything in the newsletter were posted on the website. Articles would seem harmless enough, though, after time. Again, why we are asking for clarification from Richard on the matter. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Re: Secret Project Alpha
 

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Agreed.
But, something to keep in mind:
SFC3:The next gouging, has just been released by Taldren. Most fans of SFC who were originally drawn in by the connection to SFB are seriously less than pleased that the marketing geniuses at Taldren have decided to bleed yet more money from an only slightly different game, with even fewer options than the previous game had.

This represents a serious opportunity to show off a game that those players (like me) would be seriously interested in hearing about, even if it is just shy of 6 months from being available.

But all that logic aside... I'd love to hear more about this game! (Even having been one of the fortunate few who chose to sign up for the valuable and informative (does sucking up get me any bonus points?) FRAG newsletter.)

Re: Secret Project Alpha
 

No I am not saying no, I just really haven't had time this week to think about it http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif .

Re: Secret Project Alpha
 

TrollStomper,

That post was done tounge in cheek. I do understand why developers let surtain things leek.

Now, as to the SUCK UP thing??????

Re: Secret Project Alpha
 

So why penalize me because I happened to Subscribe after the article was published? Why not allow all Subscribers but no one else access to the archives? That way you'd get our email addresses and we could get the old news?

Re: Secret Project Alpha
 

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">That's part of the problem. I don't think there are archives. Well, except for people who don't ever delete their inboxes.

Re: Secret Project Alpha
 

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">leeks.... mmmmmmmmmmmm food

Re: Secret Project Alpha

Add, potato, chicken stock, whipping cream, salt/white pepper to taste, top with minced chives. Presto, one of my all time Favorites, Vichyssoise!!

Re: Secret Project Alpha
 

Sounds good! You're making me hungry... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Re: Secret Project Alpha
 

Kamog, do you really like Vichyssoise? I don't know a lot of people that do. That's why I asked.

mlmbd http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/shock.gif

Re: Secret Project Alpha
 

Hmmm, I don't even know what the stuff is...

Re: Secret Project Alpha
 

Cold or luke warm Potato soup -- if my sleepy monday morning brain is remembering things correctly.

Re: Secret Project Alpha
 

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Oh, so it's just got some fancy name to it huh. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/rolleyes.gif I'm not that much for Potato soup anyways, so I guess I'm not missing out on anything. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Re: Secret Project Alpha
 

Ragnarok, Trajan has it almost correct. It is chilled potato soup. In some places in France they do serve it luke warm. I love it chilled. The luke warm, you can keep.

Yeah, if you are not into potato soup, it isn't a big deal! Chilled or luke warm.

mlmbd http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/shock.gif

Re: Secret Project Alpha
 

Oh, see now I thought it sounded good until you said it's served cold. I love potato soup, but I've never had it anything but piping hot. Typical American, I like my food hot and my beer cold. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif I guess I can't say I don't like Vichyssoise though since I've never had it.

Re: Secret Project Alpha
 

geo,

Only need to change a couple ingredients to make a really great Hot potato soup. Chopped onion, diced celery, and a bay leaf. Sound more to your liking?

Re: Secret Project Alpha
 

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">I don't think he means taste hot, but temperature hot.

On a side note, if you don't like cold soups, you shouldn't try Borscht.

Re: Secret Project Alpha
 

TerranC, Yeah I got Hot, meaning temperature, not taste.

And even if you like cold soups, you shouldn't try Borscht! Unless you love Beets!
