A lot of good progress has been made ladies and gents! We almost have a game.

If you'd like to follow more closely check out my BLOG.

Here is an excerpt describing the idea:

"The game will basically be a Master of Orion clone for toddlers, at least in comparison. You will start off located around a “home star” and everything is great! Except your civilization is quickly running out of power and you NEED to do something about it. So what do you do? You send ships to other near-by stars and strip them of all of the power, leaving them a bleak and empty husk before returning home to deliver all of that tasty power to the masses!

But it’s not that simple. Sending ships out into deep space costs power and the further away the destination star the more power that is needed. Eventually, like the vermin you are, your civilization will have devoured every last morsel of energy in your surrounding neighborhood and it will be time to pull up camp and set off for a new home star. This will cost a lot of power to transport your entire civilization 100s of lightyears, so again you must be careful. You can also have multiple home stars. More home stars mean larger energy reserves but also mean quicker energy depletion."

So there's the concept. Now to get 'er done!

Hope everyone else's projects are going smoothly! Good luck!
