New MM Game in Development...
 

Posted last night at Malfador.com:
Perhaps a true ground combat engine for SE:VI? Well, we can dream right? It'd be great though if it were published with Shrapnel...

Like Risk, or like Hearts of Iron?. I've liked both types. I even made a mod once for Hearts of Iron.

No details on it. I'd suspect like Space Empires, but not in space. :P

Which means that work on SE V is probably abandoned :(.

Re: New MM Game in Development...
 

Huh. Well, I'll see how it turns out.

I hope its more SEIV than SEV

Re: New MM Game in Development...
 

I think SE5 has one more patch in it. After all, SE4 got a patch and localization versions during SE5's development.

This sounds interesting.

I'd be interested in a planet version of SE. It could be like civilisation, creating a new planet at the start of the game. It would also be a bit different because you have to develop not just land, but sea and air units as well. I can just forsee starting a new game and discovering you started on an island, so you have to research navy, while someone else is the equivalent of Russia and can just use army to sweep across a continent.

That was how the new space combat system for SE V was developed. Starfury was a testbed for the new technology. If he wants to have a more elaborate ground game in SE VI, it makes sense that he'd develop a new ground game to test his ideas first.
