Split off GalGen Tech Demo and the actual game today. It's at a stage where really is a game now instead of a tech demo, although you can't actually play it quite yet.
We're going to need a name.
EDIT:

It's actually playable now. Fly around, interact with planets. It's not very much fun quite yet, but it's a game.
TODO:
Make raw materials (ore,food,metal) cost more on high TLevel planets
Make the ship eat up fuel
Allow player to upgrade ship
Make passage of time actually do something

New version! Yaaaay! Same link.
Ore Metal and Food now cost less on low-TLevel planets, and you can upgrade your cargo bay (and your ship speed, but that's buggy and doesn't do anything yet anyway).
EDIT:
Also going to get more permanent hosting.

Here's a question for y'all. I'm about to implement the away team system, where you can beam down to/land on a planet and screw around and get your blueshirts shot at and your redshirts shot.
Two things:
Which would be better, a graphical top-down or isometric system, or a text based system like we have now? Like in X-COM UFO Defense. Perhaps a combination of both, isometric in battle and text outside of it? It'd take a lot more work to use the isometric system, but it'd also look cooler. I'd also need someone to do the spritework, since I can't sprite worth crap.
Should away team events be in a scripted language or hard-coded? If it were scripted you could mod in your own events, but again it's harder to code (though I'm reasonably certain it's within my ability, and I'm not so sure about the isometric bit).
Or should I work on a different thing altogether? Fuel costs and all that?
EDIT:
Also, TRIPLE POST COMBO: 25000 POINTS

I don't like triple posts ]:
Anyway, graphics is generally preferred to text-based in my opinion, it's not called a video game for nothing. I think perhaps a near-topdown view (like LttP) is a good format, since I always find that with diagonal motion and arrow keys there's always a bit of intuitiv-ity loss. On second thought, I don't want to make it sound like that's my only gripe with iso. I think it's shitty overall.

Erectin' a new version!
*bash bash bash*
*awesome music*
New version has music, courtesy of KeygenJukebox.com. You can also generate train and fire crew members, but you still can't do anything with them.
