I have posted these screenshots to see what you all think of our upcoming game, "Arasion: First Contact". This game will be Strategy War, where you build you units, and destroy your oppenent. Only that there are 120 units, 100 structures, and 4 species to choose from! And never before used Technology in a game, check out the screenshots/sketches. And any comments are welcome. -Eric * CLICK ON ANY OF THE BELOW LINKS TO SEE THE PREVIEW* http://www.crosswinds.net/~eversoft14/images/m7.jpg http://www.crosswinds.net/~eversoft14/images/Gunship1,Small.jpg http://www.crosswinds.net/~eversoft14/images/Gunship-Transport1,Small.jpg http://www.crosswinds.net/~eversoft14/images/HeavyGunship1,Small.jpg http://www.crosswinds.net/~eversoft14/images/Imperial_Mistress.jpg http://www.crosswinds.net/~eversoft14/images/Imperial_MistressS.jpg http://www.crosswinds.net/~eversoft14/images/LOARv2Small.jpg http://www.crosswinds.net/~eversoft14/images/LOARv3Small.jpg http://www.crosswinds.net/~eversoft14/images/LOARv4Small.jpg http://www.crosswinds.net/~eversoft14/images/LOARv5Small.jpg http://www.crosswinds.net/~eversoft14/images/SpaceFighter1,Small.jpg http://www.crosswinds.net/~eversoft14/images/U-BoatFighterSmall.jpg http://www.crosswinds.net/~eversoft14/images/U-BoatSmall.jpg http://www.crosswinds.net/~eversoft14/images/ValkirieSmall.jpg Enjoy them, and comments wanted.

Where are the screenshots? These are just drawings! They can''t tell us what you''re game will be like!

Nice drawings, but do you have already implemented this stuff?

I''m sure people can''t imagine how it looks like in the game.

Yes, but I would like to know what you think of the OVERALL design so far! I need to know what you think so we know we have some good ideas. Thanks.

Nice drawings! I wish I had that kind of artistic ability

This game idea sounds a lot like Warcraft/Starcraft is that right? It seems like a good idea, but the proof is in the coding... the final product usually bear only a vauge resemblence to the concept art, and a game like this will be quite a challenge to implement. The engine isn''t too bad if it uses tiles, but the AI will be *MUCH* harder to implement than it seems... even Blizzard hasn''t gotten it quite right yet! (but they''ve made a vast improvement in starcraft over the older warcraft games)

Not to discourage you or anything, just make sure you know what you are getting into, especially if you haven''t started any of the coding yet.

Although you don''t have any screenshots- I think the game looks amazing! I''ll buy it when it''s finished!

Great concept art. But this tells us nothing about how the actual game will look. Lots of games have great concept art which looks nothing like the finished product. Will the game be 2D isometric(starcraft)or perhaps a 3D enviroment with a controlable floating camera(Myth, Force Commander). Will be interested to see what the actual game looks like.

Also your site had no information on the game(at least that I could find) apart from the concept art. Nothing about storyline, technologies etc. You really should get put some more information up.

Nice drawings, I like it. Mind to tell me where you get your idea from?

It took awhile to actually think of all the ideas, but I had alot of help from my developers, and it all came together in this game, we''re all very excited to see where it goes, we expect it to go far.

Looks great so far !!

already thought of drawing a comic?
