you know this thread has installed in me the  devouring urge to buy and play ai war I played the demo of that game ages ago and forgot about it.

You've not played AI War at all, really?

Yeah, definitely check that out.  It's got a zillion expansions for a reason :D  Really good ones, too.  I personally would say to just get those all with it, but that's just me.
well I have but like I said the demo I sorta liked it at the time but then my subconscious mind started arguing over weather I should or not in till I forgot about it but yea I'm going to no real reason not to since the usual thing were I try to play real time strategy game and then get incredibly stressed and stop don't really apply to that since it so kindly lets you pause.

I think we have this duplicated graphics conversation once every few months.

Bah, like we're supposed to REMEMBER stuff.  Too much effort.

I hope typical steam users don't shit on this game for appearing to rip of (if you don't frequent here/are already aware that Chris released the art to the public) ai war.

I went to go post a comment on the page saying "the art assets are freely available" but there's no place to do so at the moment.

Fair enough. The spire ships really look out of place though, if I can switch from suspicious to art critic for a moment.

Well, I think that's just what happens when a developer has to download free art of any sort; it's hard to get them to "fit".  Just part of developing indie games sometimes, I guess.

That being said, I have to say, the game itself actually looks kinda interesting.  I might pick this up and see what happens.

There is a basic version for free on their website.

Opened your save. My computer wept. Switched to the ST planet and ship icons filled my screen, so I zoomed out. Game told me that it _was_ totally zoomed out. You could seriously walk from one end of the inner grav well to the other without getting your feet cold.

hu you can do that sort of thing?(unless you mean in the forums or reviews) I'm certainly going to do that my self when I get a chance.

Theres the steam forums, but they are a silly place/full of horrible horribleness. Depends on the game.

Heck, this game was brought up before.  I found this gem.  https://www.arcengames.com/forums/index.php/topic,17863.0.html

When I tried to post preemptively, the Steam Forums weren't active.

The joke is, deja-vue aside (I take the blue pill), that through machinations long forgotten by me I am listed in the credits for that sprite pack (with my real name of all things), which makes these recurring topics twice as fun ;)

So while we are already having yet another topic about this game, anyone tried it? It sounds like a unique space game.. but the only let's play is from earliest versions...

I didn't give it a serious play, but I got a Starsector vibe from it.

Just think: you can tell future employers "yeah, I'm in the credits for that game, and that game, and that game..." ;D
