StarWarp is an online real time sci-fi strategy game where teams of
players control a range of space-craft from scouts to
battle-stations with the aim of conquering enemy planets, galaxies, the
UNIVERSE!
There are four different alien races to play, each race has unique
space-craft and alike hull classes. For example all races will have
a frigate class, cruiser class, battleship class etc. Currently there
are 10 different hull classes, so a total of 40 ships to pilot!
StarWarp is a fast paced game where you are never more than moments
away from a battle. Teams who communicate well to defend and attack in
unison will have a big advantage. We see the potential to have leagues
of well practiced teams as well as games for the casual player. We
intend this game to have amazing gameplay, cool graphics and be free to
play, so sign up today!
If you like the sound of this then please
sign up and we'll keep you informed of our progress and ask you to take part in the beta testing.
StarWarp is a MMORTS (Massive multiplayer online real-time strategy).
That's a type of online computer game that combines real time strategy
(RTS) and lots and lots of real players from all over the internet.
The game is played from an overhead perspective. As a player you may
control one space craft at anyone time. That DOESN'T mean you are stuck
with that ship for the entire game, each time you are killed in combat
you may select the type of ship that suits your current situation. Or
if you're just too good to get killed you may return to the home planet
and request a new ship.
The onboard weapon systems can include
photon torpedoes, missiles, lasers and other wonderful and equally
destructive goodies. You also control the flight speed, direction,
warp-drive and your ships defensive capabilities such as shields and
counter weapon devices. Generally the bigger the ship the more
destructive, but the tradeoff is usually speed and maneuverability.
The
game is won by taking control of enemy planets. To do this you must
first bomb the planet from orbit destroying its defensive army and
structures. Once the planet is sufficiently nuked you may then transfer
your own army to kill off the surviving rebels and enslave the local
populous. Once under your teams control planets will provide you with
technology and resources such as a new army which you can use to
further your expansion. Eventually as you take all planets in the
galaxy your enemy is defeated from the galaxy/map.
With
each kill/win/successful action you will gain credit that is recorded
to your character. This credit is required to pilot more advanced
space-craft. For example you may start a game piloting an assault
craft, by killing an enemy scout and transferring an army to an enemy
planet you may then have enough credit to control a destroyer. So on....
More killing, no mining!
However, we
think we have a pretty good game engine here and maybe down the road
we'll have a sister game that is an MMORPG. If we do that we're
determined not to just copy the very good and successful sci-fi MMORPGs
such as Eve-Online. Instead we'll continue to focus on getting
players into real battles from the word go!
To get on the BETA you simply need to sign-up to the website using the registration
link HERE . We don't require many details from you right
now, just your name and email address so we can contact you.
Once we're ready we'll send you the link to download the client software and some instructions for the game via email. During the beta test we will be grateful to read your feedback in the forum and emails.
