    Beta Galactic Artifact - Release C

    Ok. Another idea Ive been mulling over. Since you have thought of it before, you might already have a plan for it... this is just my two cents. Here goes: Some math to set it up: All sectors: (1x1 = 1) 3^7 x 3^7 = 2187 x 2187 = 4782969 Zoomed out once: (3x3 = 9) 3^6 x 3^6 = 729 x 729 =...

    Beta Galactic Artifact - Game Balance

    QUOTE Is lucky starts exclusively defined as "I'm close to the artifact" or is also "I got a good break finding stuff" ... I have found 3 types of lucky starts. 1) Start in a very dense place. 2) Start close to the artifact (as you mentioned) 3) Pickup a $$$ artifact in the first few minutes...

    Beta Galactic Artifact - Release C

    After post on: Galactic Artifact - Game Balance Playing that many times gave me some new ideas I dont remember hearing on the forums. Treat these with the usual might-be-a-good-idea-but-also-could-be-a-complete-waste-of-time disclaimer. 1) An arrow pointing to the side that has the most...

    Here it is, but I see a problem with the data that fusion_power mentioned... lucky starts... CODE lvl 10 - won 7:55 - 12:20 6:19 - 9:10 5:53 - 9:58 lvl 9 - won 14:22 - 20:55 6:48 - 12:15 12:49 - 17:22 lvl 8 - won 9:38 - 16:46 7:52 - 14:10 5:10 - 11:47 lvl 7 -...

    Beta Galactic Artifact - Release C

    Well. I got 2 ideas. 1) What if the artifact could stay on the planet after the first person got it. So that anyone playing has to get it, go inactive for a few minutes or log off before the next 'round' continues and we get a new artifact. It will make the most sense after you display a...

    Beta Galactic Artifact - Release C

    ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// My method. Probably similar to yours Early game: (When most of your upgrades are still low level) Don't pick up any Artifacts until you have found a shop. Don't worry too much about getting the most from a single...

    Beta Galactic Artifact - Release C

    Ohh yeah. From now on, if someone else is on, ill just collect money out of the way. Also I noticed you fixed the bug where if you try to quit an offline game and say no, it re-randomizes your ship and the artifact. (Oh, and I think if you log into the server from an older release, you get...

    Beta Galactic Artifact - Release B

    None that I can see, and I hope that you'll get better IRL. On a side note, I just beat 2 games in the 10 to 15 minute range... With version 317. (But they might have been 'lucky starts'.)

    Beta Galactic Artifact - Release B

    Yeah, I notice that now that you mention it. Not as bad as a slow mouse select/move in a thick area (EG: 555-5555).

    Beta Galactic Artifact - Release B

    One real quick new bug. When you are fueling up, it keeps selecting the first artifact in the list. Then if you don't pay attention, pressing the enter key a few times, you will sell all your artifacts. I like the colors for artifacts though. It doesn't seem like you did the auto-select "no"...

    Beta Galactic Artifact - Release B

    Yeah, that's the problem, no matter what I do, it just seems to be random. Maybe the time you leave the "You Win" screen has nothing to do with it after all. I just tried a bunch of times, nothing makes sense. Maybe someone on my lan is bit-torrenting or something... Without clicking or...

    Beta Galactic Artifact - Release B

    Another no-win. I got the artifact and nothing, no countdown. It was around 2:12am PST. If it helps, I think it has something to do with how long it takes, my time was over 15 minutes. When I get it with cheating, it always gives me the win, but without cheating, it takes 10 to 15 minutes...

    Beta Galactic Artifact - Release B

    Good to hear that a solution is in the works :D Probably for the pc release, but I thought that the Pandora was only going to support SDL. Maybe I was mistaken and they meant the button inputs were with SDL, the graphics could use OpenGL. Or maybe you can use anything, but compile it for the...

    Beta Galactic Artifact - Release B

    Ohhhhhhh (epiphany). Its the translucency. Now all this time I assumed that just making it transparent was simple. Cool, I'd just remove the blue and green bits. Or change the write buffer by personally adding to the red bit before its sent to the screen. Edit: Which are both, of course...
