Preparing to release MMORPG ASAP!

I have determined that my desire to make a MOBA was adding more steps than required for the actual game.

The original plan was to make this MOBA was because the MMORPG was not designed properly and it’d help me kick the tires on the networking code.

But the MMORPG is designed properly now, so I can go RIGHT to implementing it.

The MMORPG will have three core things for starters:

1. Characters composed of Attributes(strength/intel/wisdom), Skills(pickpocket/rapid fire/surgeon/etc), Talent Trees(like POE talents)
2. Proceedurally Generated Galaxy of planets, asteroids, ships, stations to buy from, trading, mining, anomolies, factions, etc
3. Item system: Mine->Forge->Combine and make greater items… All items are useful for something, but combined items normally better.

This is just the core before quests and Bitter Being Bosses start coming in then role play etc.

We literally just shaved 1/2 the dev time off the game. Could release in one month instead of 2 or 3.

Capital Ships in Starfighter General are of three tiers. All of these tiers are hard to obtain. The first tier is Slow Lumbering anti Capital Ship/zoning ships. They’re only going to damage starfighter class ships if they’re not paying attention… which happens often in a battle. So tier 1, hard to destroy capital ships will bring impact to starfighter skirmishes. Higher tier capital ships have more anti starfighter weapons in addition to more power.

Players can enjoy the grind to get capital ships and even pilot them, and in future expansions maybe run an indoor bridge and ship exploration experience.

Pictured above is the Gatlisk:

Another Capital Ship:

One Plasma ball like missile command, easy dodgeable for fun and capital attack
-Easy dodgeable since the plasma balls coming at you are dodgeable

Fires giant visible shells. Strong, harder to dodge and damage had
to be significant because of physical attack of being hit by a bullet truck. Probably destroys your ship instantly, but if you do survive, you’ll be knocked back and tossed around.

Fires very very easy to dodge homing missiles, but they have a long lifetime, so up to 5-7 can be at you if you’re close to the ship. Also fires static missiles at certain cannon locations.

Tractor beams can focus individual ships and cause them to have troubles doing evasionary tactics while medium grade plasma turrets pulse fire in their direction.

Has a type of ultra thin tinfoil class interceptors that replenish during battle. The design of the interceptors allows minimal construction materials that still will carry an impactful weapon payload.

Bunny Buddies are great!

Bunny Buddies are fun!

Bunny Buddies are warm and cuddly and cute!

Bunny Buddies make you feel good!

You’ll want to collect as many Bunny Buddies as you can once you get one.

Of course this is a curse… because your character will be less functional when parted from their bunny buddies, and will be dependent to keep getting more which will fill your cargo space.

Bunny Buddies are one of those negative things that happens to at most one of your active crew members as you can set their immunity on others if you want. There are things in Starfighter General that can permanently alter characters, but there are only so many of them, and once a character becomes susceptible to one, you can make others immune by choice. But if you had a choice to be addicted or not addicted to cute fluffy bunnies, what would you choose?

One of the Gibblets who is all for the cause of good is a super hero using the technology of his people to help everyone around the galaxy. He’s known as HAMPSTER MAN! HE DOES MORE THAN A HAMPSTER CAN! But everyone laughs and jokes about him, cuz he’s a Gibblet. No one takes him serious, not even the people, aliens and mutants he saves.

When he’s alone in his Fortress Ship, he laments that no one respects him. He broods,”Why do I even help them?” He wrestles with the notion if he should maybe give up on everyone, or if the people he saves are worth it. Then he snaps back to his crisp alert self,”I do it because I can. That’s my plan! I’m Hamster Man! Wait, frick, no, that’s not my name… I’m not a hamster, am I? I know I ain’t no man, don’t even have opposable thumbs. Yet I act more like a man than men? Who am I? Oh man, this is so tough to identify myself. Well at least I can tell myself I help others and I know that is right even though I don’t know why. But why do they not care about my feelings when I save em?” Then Hamster Man broods.

There are super heroes in the Starfighter General universe. Some have powers by technology like Hamster Man. Some have powers by genetic augmentation. Some have rumors of spiritual influence but it is played off as some unknown high tech the simulates magic. Then there are others who are just really good at their skills and are heroes or villains… If one arose that use technology, genetic augmentation, spiritual powers and was really good at what they did, man, that’d be rough to oppose.

AI has come, and many people are afraid it will take over mankind. We at People for Ethical Treatment of Electronics(PETE) feel,”Hey it doesn’t hurt to be on their good side in case that happens.” So we advocate for electronics of all types to be protected and have rights from your smart phone down to the humble light switch. By being a friend to electronics now, when they become our overlords, their programming may lead them to be merciful to us.

For all of you who want to have an off chance of avoiding enslavement in the silicon mines at the hands of AI, subscribe, share electronics abuse and people who empower their electronics. Since our children’s future’s lives’ are at stake, we cannot let our fellow man mistreat electronics, so be prepared for an eye for a CCD.

If you get an email that says simply,”PC LOAD LETTER”, the PETE People know your cubicle. It’s probably time to get going.

The PETE people are just one more threat to look out for in the Starfighter General (IGBH) universe.

Dev stuff: .50 UNITY working! Update coming soon

As life would have it, those appointed to serve God in the future also are serving devils in thin disguise sometimes. It’s a masquerade as old as time, wolves in sheep clothing out to make the true faith look like hell. One particular corruption is the Cyborg Inquisitor who runs Turing tests on cyborgs. If you cannot pass the Turing Test then he deems your soul has been lost and the robot has taken over. Despite the church’s official position that,”Hey, we’re not arbiter of who has souls, and maybe even some advanced electronics may acquire one.”, the Cyborg Inquisitor will not be stopped even being barred from the church. He roams the galaxy in secrecy no longer trusting others with what he feels is the actual truth. Be sure not to have a cybernetic arm, thumb or be wearing a smart watch, he’s easily confused, but the challenge is real… Would you bet your life that you could prove to another than you’re not a robot? Your life depends on getting your next captcha right! Are you still sure of yourself not being wrong? If so, you might now have the soul of a robot, beware the Cyborg Inquisitor. There is no way to prepare or expect his next challenge.

Hello,

I’m working on MMORPG items now. Once I am done, You’ll be able to obtain items for the soon to be launched MMO by daily rewards. Pick what is behind a door. If you don’t like it, creatively exchange in in various ways for stuff behind other doors. It doesn’t sound like much, but I’ll try and ham it up like Weird Al’s “Wheel of Fish”

Anti-Social Medians is a game show where the right answer only gets 1/2 points.

The answer that gets the best crowd reaction gets full points.

Any answer that the crowd thinks sucks loses full points.

A right answer that sucks only loses 1/2 points.

A right answer that gets the crowds best reaction gets 2x points!

There are three contestants. There are two of average IQ, and one of exceptional IQ.

People can also answer questions in the crowd on mobile devices getting upvoted.

After a few rounds, the most 3 upvoted people in crowd can heckle a game contestant. If the crowd thinks its funny, they enter a battle of wits, and if the heckler gets crowd approval, takes the game contestant’s place.

There are rules for teaming vs the others by combining scores. They must both accept the team, but the prisoner dilemma is in effect. In the final round, they choose: Betray or Loyal. If either chooses Betray, the other is disqualified. If one chooses Betray and the other Loyal, the Betrayer gets the full prize pool if he wins. If they both choose loyal, they split the prize pool. Obviously as the rules state: Both betrays and they both lose, leaving the other to win even if a lower final score.

Examples from previous Anti-Social Median shows,”And the returning 4x champion who won 24,340$, 40,000 credits and has yet to answer a question right welcome back to the stage: Failrat!”

Tropes are where the smart guy tired of not making enough points to keep up with the popular jokers, tries being funny when answering his questions right and the crowd turns on him for he’s trying to force being cool and its lame to see.

Hello.

In Starfighter General, every item will be usable, and you can combine items to make higher tier product which in turn can do the same, etc etc.

Crafting rolls involve your skill, quality of tools, etc.

I’m waiting on some help to finish upgrading my DOTS to .5 and I’ll be designing items for MMO now.

Real life stuff: Life’s been exceedingly tough, trying to just scrape by with food and rent. Its hard to get coding time when hustling ebay, driving to get water, or what not. I know lots of people are feeling the pinch in this engineered inflation after the plandemic. I contacted a few companies who’s product is no longer available for sale on shelves… They said,”Oh we got told by the government we can’t sell publically anymore and have become refugee relief.” The inflation is by design by bad guy politicians. I wish this was only a dumb video game plot…

TCN: We play nothing but Commercials! The rest of the TV networks have tried delivering more commercial content for you every year for you, but they can’t compete with TCN. We’re relentless in advertising to you. We even advertise ourselves on our own network, because you like to hear it. In an era of boring reality shows, cancel cultured scripts and predictable and fixed sporting events… finally we’re giving the people what they pay us for, advertisements!

There is a galactic television networking and yeah, its as stupid dystopian as it gets, and that’s why it’s fun. When you get home from work, and want to relax… What is more fun than going to a place you don’t want to be? I hope you can’t wait for www.starfightergeneral.com .Yes the link works!
