Line of Defense

So, I bought the entry level 'Early Adopter' package for this game.

Right up front, this is from the developer that did the Battlecruiser 3000 games, and follow ups. I know there is quite a bit of controversy over him.

Back in the BC3000 days, I played quite a bit, and (like most hard-core sims) once I got over the learning curve really enjoyed it.

Some people don't like the developer due to his harsh manner, but I can say that from reading his reponses to feedback on the new game, he has mellowed quite a bit and is quite receptive to receiving thoughtful criticism and suggestions. He will still strap on the flamethrower when someone is ignorant though.

Now, having said all that. This new game sounds pretty interesting. Space and Planet-based combined-arms type combat.

For the EA program, currently now, until release, they are only unlocking controlled sections at a time for testing purposes. The game is content complete, but right now there is only two locations unlocked (a planet-based starbase and a carrier in space), with one more base unlocking next week. Combat unlocks in 2-3 weeks.

More detail here: www.lodmmo.com

Anyway, I got a free EA access code for Steam from twitter. They are giving away a decent amount, so if you follow them on twitter you have a decent chance of snagging one.

Since I already bought a package, I am giving away the key to someone here that is interested in doing testing and providing decent feedback to help along the development.

If you get online, my character is on the Galcom side, name 'case'.

Cheers!

Haha I remember Derek Smart from his legendary arguments on USENET newsgroups in the mid 90's (before all game discussion moved to web forums) biggrin

Will keep an eye on this thanks Mojo.

Sorry. Man, I'd rather trust Ilya Shevchenko again with a tenner.

Kludger!! wash your mouth out for none shall speaketh his name lest the foul demons of incomplete buggy-ness bestow thy vengeance upon you!!!!

Mojo, I don't think it was just his brash voice over the net that gave "he whose name should not be spoken" the distaste of many others, but it certainly added to it.

He and the battlecruiser games were famed for their revolting Ai, bugs, unfinished features backed up by that brash voice trying to communicate that they were features and not flawed. Oh bestow the plight of anyone that pressed their concerns over shoddy code and met all too common response from "he who shall not be named". The perma ban


Please let me know how the game is, but if it is typical of him, it will be too grandeur in scope more than lacking in delivery and devoid of polish. God help us if he is controlling the forums too!

I'm not sure what you're trying to express here.
Could you be clearer? What do you think of...

That's it. You have killed the SimHQ boards.....

Like having a séance and calling the devils name, so too will "HE WHOSE NAME SHALL NOT BE SPOKEN" sense his name and come here to say..." do you not know who I am"

Then once on these boards, the banning will start until the devouring process is complete and he slithers back into the ether awaiting another victim.

There is no place to hide now....... I feel the shadow and despair of turned gamers who lurk for all eternity in techno underworld trying to resolve that one vital question that will ease their souls and release that eternal damnation..... That one question will never be answered for no one will truly know the answer to..... "why did he ban me..... all I did was incorrectly register on his forums, I didn't even get a chance to ask him why his games are so sh1t"


Poor souls, we are doomed....doomed DOOOMED!

you owe me another monitor.

Posting a picture of "ITS" face has prompted the typical gamer instant reaction of punching that monkey butt of a mug.

Now everytime I come to post on this thread, I end up with a broken screen.

Dammit !
