Star Ruler now at SWR Productions Options

[Comr4de]

Star Ruler is a 4X/RTS Hybrid on a grand scale. Mod everything, design anything; play what you want, how you want, when you want. In production since 2008 and working to a Summer release next year, Star Ruler endeavors to be a milestone in 4X/RTS history... now hosted here at SWR Productions

Features:

• Enormous, detailed, galaxies. Up to 1000 systems each with their own stars, planets, moons, and asteroid belts.
• Six distinct paths to victory. Combat, Espionage, Diplomatic, Research, Economic, and Exploration paths give players a choice of gameplay styles.
• Design your own ships and give them one of many premade hulls, or mod in your own.

Mod the game in every way:

• Create skins for the UI, or scripts to dictate its behavior.
• Add new elements to the gameplay, either new items to place on ships, or entirely new mechanics not in the original game.
• Share your creations with others through the in-game content manager.
• Take your battles online. Massive fights in a massive universe; support for up to eight players. Save the whole game when dawn breaks and boot it back up at dusk; it isn't over until you say it is!
• That's no moon. With an entire galaxy's worth of resources at your fingertips, why let it go to waste on simple starfighters? Build massive Dyson Spheres,
• Black Hole manipulators, and Star Cannons to crush your foe's dreams of conquest. Strap huge engines, shields, and guns on to your worlds and transform your homeworlds from a resource to be held or taken into a deadly adversary.
• Truly freeform camera. Players have an option of a standard camera, as if attached to a pole, or a completely free camera - see the game from any direction you require with ease.
• And much more for you to discover!

Congratulations, Planet Rulers guys. Hope to see some very good stuff soon...maybe as a Happy Christmas Day present

[Firgof]

We're doing our best to make it happen. I can't find a good recording software that doesn't leave watermarks and works at a decent rate and framesize that is also free/opensource so it may be a little while.

[Overdose]

I don't think there is one sadly.

Good thing to have Star Ruler a place here in the forums.

The work the Star Ruler team put into this must be enormous.
Keep up the good work.

You are very ambitious and what I have seen so far looks pretty well. Good luck with the project.

[cryptkeeper]

nice game ! comrade i wish you luck



sorry for the newb statement but whats a 4x/rts

[Shock]

4x stands for explore, expand, exploit, and exterminate, in other words a very broad game which is not limited to combat but also contains things like exploration and trade.

Games like X3: Reunion are a good example of space based 4X strategy games. But a game like Civilization is similar too.

[Raven]

I'm not much into Space RTS and exploration kinda stuff, but from comments it looks like something EPIC which i should try out . Congratz

[GeneralCamo]

I understand why your indie game was accepted here, because this game is easy to mod just as it is easy to create things in SPORE.

[NergiZed]

Want.

I personally love Space-based RTSes, but there hasn't been one in a while that's both accessible, epic-in-scale and fun at the same time. Hopefully this will satiate my hungry for such things.

Also, congrats on getting hosted here, I will certainly be keeping an eye on this project.
