[Stardust Colonies Resurrected]

Games C++ AI Added on 27/05/2014

Stardust Colonies new websiteI've been up to a lot lately, getting back to my Stardust Colonies game project. Some might remember that I released a demo about one and half years ago. I managed to get a lot of useful feedback for the game and I am now ready to take the development to the next level.

I am currently preparing all materials and the web site for a Kickstarter campaign through which I'd like to raise money for hiring artists for professional graphics and music. This will probably happen at some point over the summer.

The new web site is already up - under its own domain, stardustcolonies.com. Yay! I am also talking to a few graphic designers on Deviant Art, trying to get some nice looking concept art ready for Kickstarter. Oh - and there is the first game play video on YouTube as well!

Stardust Colonies Web Site Is Launched!

 I have finally launched web site for my strategy game Stardust Colonies. Unlike in most strategy games, you get to control minions who have their job preferences and will behave differently based on what you tell them to do. Also, you don't train units in buildings but clone existing ones, which I think feels more natural to the player...

Me? Making Music? (And a Preview)

 I have decided to give Apple's Garage Band a try as I always wondered if I could indeed create music I would actually like. Ideally by recording real guitar playing and mixing it with some synths to create a sort of rock-industrial dark themes...
